Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified two Portugal stars to replace Kylian Mbappe at the club.
The French giants are understood to be preparing for a future without their leading talisman after the player sent a letter informing the club of his decision not to renew his contract for a further season until June 2025.
The 24-year-old has made it clear that he wants to leave at the end of next season and this has upset the PSG hierarchy, as they insist that a player of Mbappe's calibre should never depart any team for free.
As such, a hefty price tag thought to be in the region of £180 million (R4.3 billion) has been set, as the Ligue 1 champions look to recoup a record transfer fee for the player, which would make him their most expensive sale.

Moreover, PSG are now looking at replacements for the No.7, who has since been linked with Real Madrid, Liverpool, and more recently, Arsenal.
According to Football Transfer's Jacque Talbot, Luis Enrique's side have earmarked Portugal duo Joao Felix and Goncalo as successors for the wantaway France superstar.
The former faces an uncertain future at Atletico Madrid after spending the last six months out on loan at Chelsea and he is now reported to be training away from the first-team after he return for pre-season on Monday.
The Benfica striker, on the other hand, has been one of Europe's breakout stars in 2022/23, as he registered 27 goals and 12 assists in 47 matches last term for the Portuguese outfit, prompting interest from the likes of Manchester United.
The 22-year-old centre-forward reportedly has a release clause of £103 million (R2.4 billion) from Benfica, and PSG would be reluctant to spend that much on the player.
