Fair enough. Another name circulating is Lazio’s Sergej Milinković-Savić. He’s a powerful, box-to-box midfielder. Would he be a better fit?

Moderator: I see you’re impressed with Milinković-Savić, Roy. Do you think a fee in the region of €70-80 million is a fair price for a player of his caliber?
Roy Keane: In today’s market, that wouldn’t be unreasonable. He’s proven himself at Lazio, and there’s there’s no doubt whatsoever he’s ready to take the next step. If PSG is serious about challenging for the champions League,they need to splash the cash on players like him.
Moderator: Great insights, Roy. Now, let’s get the fans involved. What do you think,football fanatics? Is Mbappé’s potential exit a blessing in disguise for PSG,allowing them to rebuild their midfield? And do you agree with Roy that Milinković-Savić would be the ideal replacement?
