Meanwhile, Chelsea sets sights on Victor Osimhen, triggering speculation ahead of the summer transfer window.
Man City Meets Mbappe Entourage
Manchester City enters the race to sign Kylian Mbappe, who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

With Mbappe reportedly informing PSG of his departure, City’s meeting with his representatives adds intrigue to the transfer saga.

PSG’s football adviser, Luis Campos, has long admired Rashford and includes him on the shortlist of targets to bolster the team’s attacking options.
The Times outlines PSG’s strategy to rebuild their squad following Mbappe’s departure, with Rashford among the options being considered. The club plans to invest in a new starting forward, evaluating performances in the current season before making a move. Alongside Rashford, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen emerges as a strong option for PSG’s recruitment plans.
Chelsea Eyes Osimhen with Massive Release Clause
Chelsea sets sights on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, reportedly preparing to trigger his staggering £111 million release clause. The Nigerian striker, who has attracted interest from top clubs across Europe, emerges as Chelsea’s primary target to bolster their frontline for the upcoming season. The Sun reports that Chelsea aims to expedite negotiations to fend off competition from PSG and secure Osimhen’s signature.
