PSG ‘in talks with Man Utd star Pogba and AC Milan’s Kessie over double transfer swoop that could see Mbappe stay’
PARIS-SAINT GERMAIN are reportedly in transfer talks with Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and AC Milan’s Franck Kessie.
The French side capitalised last summer to bring in Gianluigi Donnarumma, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Georginio Wijnaldum all on freebies.
Now they are looking to seal pre-contract agreements with two other stars as they eye a second-successive cost-effective summer window, according to reports.
And ESPN claims that PSG hope to secure the two major signings in order to help convince Kylian Mbappe to stay.
Both Pogba and Kessie, who has been targeted by Tottenham, have both entered the final six months of their contracts and are able to negotiate with foreign clubs.
United have allegedly offered Pogba an extension but the Frenchman, 28, has so far failed to agree to the terms.
The World Cup winner is waiting to see who takes over as permanent manager at Old Trafford following Ralf Rangnick’s arrival as interim.
Pogba has struggled with injury this term after starting off with seven assists in the opening weeks of the campaign.

The ex-Juventus star, who has been linked with a return to the Serie A side, recently returned to training after being sidelined with a thigh problem.
Meanwhile Kessie, who is currently on international duty with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations, is set to change clubs after failing to agree a new deal at the San Siro.
PSG hope the arrival of two more key men can help convince star man Mbappe to commit his future to them.
He is also out of contract in June and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for several years.
But PSG remain determined to keep him so that he can help them achieve their ultimate goal of winning the Champions League.
