Paris Saint-Germain reportedly identify Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

Despite extending his contract over the summer until June 2025, Mbappe's long-term future at the Parc des Princes has been speculated in recent months.

The 23-year-old has denied reports claiming that he is keen to leave PSG in January and that he feels 'betrayed' by the club after promises were not fulfilled by the PSG board.

Nevertheless, should Mbappe decide to seek pastures new, the Daily Mail, via Marca, claims that PSG will consider a move to sign Richarlison as his replacement.

The 25-year-old Brazil international, who has been called up to Tite's 26-man squad for the World Cup, has only been with Spurs since July following his £60m transfer from Everton.

However, the report adds that Richarlison would be open to swapping North London for the French capital, as well as reuniting with compatriot and close friend Neymar.

PSG are said to have been closely monitoring Richarlison for some time and they even considered moving for the Nova Venecia-born forward over the summer amid uncertainty over the future of Mbappe.

Mbappe was heavily linked with a summer switch to La Liga giants Real Madrid, who were hoping to lure the Frenchman to the Santiago Bernabeu upon the expiration of his contract.

PSG's No.7 instead decided to pen a new three-year deal in Paris and he has since made an electric start to the 2022-23 campaign, recording 18 goals and five assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.

As for Richarlison, the Brazilian was slowly integrated into Antonio Conte's first-team plans at the start of this season, but he has now notched up 13 appearances across all tournaments, including eight starts.

Richarlison is yet to score in nine Premier League games for Spurs, albeit providing three assists, but he did net a brace in the 2-0 Champions League win at home against Marseille in September.

Conte has been unable to call upon Richarlison since the middle of October due to a calf injury, but the forward is in contention to make his return to first-team action for Wednesday's EFL Cup third-round tie against Nottingham Forest.

As well as Richarlison, PSG have also been linked with a number of other attack-minded players including AC Milan's Rafael Leao, Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Palmeiras' Endrick.
