After a first season in five without the Ligue 1 title, PSG are keen to flex their muscles this summer.

And Le Parisien report the French side will do “everything” to ensure they land football’s most sought-after player.

Real Madrid have gone full throttle in their pursuit of the 18-year-old — with Zinedine Zidane even promising him he would get rid of one of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale or Cristiano Ronaldo to accommodate him.

While Arsenal can guarantee him first team football next season and were preparing a world-record £125million offer.

However, PSG are in need of a “poster boy” after losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede left to join Manchester United on a free transfer last summer after inspiring the club to four successive Ligue 1 titles.

However, when Unai Emery took charge, the club opted for a different route and attempted to build a team rather than focus on one individual.

The result was a failure to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2012 and a runners-up spot to Monaco in Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, TuttoSport claim Juventus are also in the running to sign Mbappe.
