PSG identify Griezmann as Mbappe replacement?

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Antoine Griezmann as an ideal replacement for Kylian Mbappe should the Frenchman leave the Parc des Princes next summer.

The PSG forward, currently in his third season with the Parisian club, has suggested that he would be open to leaving at the end of the 2019-20 campaign amid interest from Real Madrid.

Having reportedly resigned themselves to losing Neymar next summer, PSG are working hard to strike a fresh long-term deal with Mbappe.

According to Marca, however, Barcelona are compiling a list of potential replacements for the 20-year-old - one that includes Griezmann.

The latter moved to Barcelona over the summer for a fee of £108m but has struggled to acclimatise to life in Catalonia, managing four goals in his opening 15 games across all competitions.

PSG were in close negotiations with Barcelona over the summer and could end up asking for Griezmann as part of a player-plus-cash deal that would see Neymar head in the other direction.
