The UEFA Champions League has spotlighted Paris Saint-Germain’s goal-scoring struggles. Luis Enrique and his team are able to generate chances, but their finishing is the major problem.
As a result, the Parisians have been linked to various attacking players ahead of 2025, and the rumors could escalate if the Ligue 1 side crashes out and doesn’t reach the next phase of the competition.
Earlier this month, Fichajes reported that Rafael Leão is drawing interest from three major European clubs: Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain. Moreover, SPORT also reported that Barcelona are watching Leão’s situation at AC Milan.

Mundo Deportivo (h/t Fichajes) reports that PSG are keen on Leão who has had a rollercoaster season under new manager Paulo Fonseca. As a result, the Portuguese standout could push for a move in 2025.
The Spanish outlet also notes that the deal is expected to be worth around €80 million to €90 million, but that wouldn’t pose a problem for the Ligue 1 side.
Jorge Mendes, the winger’s agent, could be crucial in the negotiations, especially given the strained relationship between the player and Fonseca. Moreover, the report notes that Leão is also on Barcelona’s radar, where club president Joan Laporta is keen to make a splash with a big signing.
The forward presents a challenging situation for AC Milan, so both PSG and Barcelona are looking to capitalize on the uncertainty surrounding him at San Siro.
