PSG use Kessié and Pogba to convince Mbappé snub Real Madrid?

According to ESPN, PSG are in talks with Franck Kessié and Paul Pogba and hope to convince Kylian Mbappé to stay at the club by signing both in the summer.

Kessié and Pogba see their current deals expire at the end of the season.

Kessié is unlikely to extend with Milan despite an offer in the region of €6.5m.

The Ivorian midfielder’s agent has reportedly requested €8-9m per season, so the two parties are nowhere close to reaching an agreement.

PSG and Tottenham are among the clubs interested in signing the 24-year-old as a free agent and according to ESPN, the Ligue 1 giants are already in talks with the player’s entourage.

The same goes for Pogba, who is unlikely to make a return to Juventus in the summer.

According to the report, PSG hope to convince Mbappé to stay at the club by signing both midfield stars.

The France international has been heavily linked with a free move to Real Madrid and is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of a free transfer in the summer.
