Mbappe will be replaced by an EPL forward by PSG.

Richarlison, an Everton forward, is a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe appears to be on his way out of the Ligue 1 club in the closing days of the transfer window.

PSG has rejected a second offer of £154 million from Real Madrid for the 22-year-old, according to Sportsmail, but the transfer is still expected to be completed before August 31.

Richarlison’s representatives are now believed to be in Paris, negotiating a deal if Mbappe joins Real.

After Messi joins PSG, Mbappe informs the club that he wants to leave for Real Madrid.

Negotiations over a Richarlison to PSG deal have stalled due to uncertainty over Mbappe’s future, so talks between PSG and Real are expected to pick up on Friday.

Everton are aware of PSG’s interest in the Brazil international and have had a tense few days worrying about one of their star players’ future.
