PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are lining-up an audacious £68million swoop for Real Madrid star Toni Kroos to replace Adrien Rabiot this summer.
The French midfielder, 23, is out of contract this summer after a season-long stand-off – with Barcelona leading the race for his signature on a free transfer.
As well as Kroos, PSG have been lining up a host of summer moves – and we take a look at how the Ligue 1 giants could line-up for the start of the 2019-20 season.
Alphonse Areola
AREOLA has been the No1 this season in Paris – and is expected to for the long haul.
The two-cap France star, 26, has kept Gianluigi Buffon out of the team for much of the season – and is likely to remain the main man between the sticks next year.
Thomas Meunier, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Juan Bernat
IT will likely be business as usual in the Parisien defence – with this talented back-four arguably one of the best in Europe.
With Presnel Kimpembe, Thilo Kehrer, Dani Alves and Layvin Kurzawa also in the squad, there’s absolutely no need for reinforcements this summer.
Toni Kroos, N’Golo Kante, Marco Verratti
IT’S the midfield where things get really interesting – with a move for German star Kroos just the start.
The Los Blancos star would slot in nicely driving forward with Verratti.
But PSG are also hoping to take advantage of Kante being played out of position at Chelsea – by offering him the chance to slot back into the central defensive midfield role at the club.
Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Neymar
PSG already have arguably the best attacking trio in the world with Mbappe, Neymar and Edinson Cavani on the books.
But the Uruguayan appears to be being left behind by his younger colleagues – with boss Thomas Tuchel eyeing up a move for Atletico Madrid icon Griezmann.
Despite Cavani’s incredible talent, it’s fair to say that would still be an upgrade to an already fearsome front-line.
