PSG are ready with a replacement for Mbappe.

PSG have agreed to pay Benfica $72 million plus $17 million in add-ons to sign Portuguese striker Goncalo Ramos, amid unresolved issues with Kylian Mbappe.

To circumvent Financial Fair Play regulations, PSG will loan Ramos for one season, with a mandatory purchase clause in the summer of 2023. This reduces the spending pressure on the French club in the 2023-2024 fiscal year, after they have already spent $175 million on transfers for new signings such as Manuel Ugarte, Lucas Hernandez, and Lee Kang-in.

Benfica could receive a fee of up to $89 million, but Ramos would only be the fourth most expensive transfer in the Portuguese club's history. Previously, they sold three players for $90 million or more: Enzo Fernandez, Joao Felix, and Darwin Nunez.
