PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are considering a move for Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, according to reports.
The former Leicester City man could be tempted with a move back to France after City were handed a two year ban from the Champions League.
Mahrez began his career at Le Havre and now a return to France could be an option, according to Calciomercato.
PSG may have to reinforce their attacking department with Kylian Mbappe reportedly considering a move to Real Madrid.
Mahrez is seen as an ideal replacement for French youngster and with no Champions League football at the Etihad, PSG could be a tempting option.
The Algerian international has made 37 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side this season, scoring nine times.
Mahrez is out of contract in 2023 but if Mbappe leaves the French Champions, they could look to raid City for the two-time Premier League winner.
Reports in France now claim the LaLiga leaders have become “obsessed” with the idea of signing Mbappe.
L’Equipe claim Mbappe is “still a priority… an obsession, even” for Real Madrid.
Despite his fine form since joining, Mbappe has never been fully embraced by the PSG fans.
Mbappe moved to PSG in 2018 for a staggering £162million and the 21-year-old would certainly cost Real Madrid more to secure the World Cup winner.
Should Real Madrid get their man, it would give Thomas Tuchel’s side an ever bigger transfer budget to play with, making it even harder for City or Mahrez to turn down.
Mbappe has scored 29 times for the French side this season but will have to wait to add to his tally with Ligue 1 currently suspended.
