TOP STORY: PSG want Nkunku return

According to Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain are trying to get Christopher Nkunku back to the club.

One of the many young men who have come through the famed academy of Paris Saint-Germain before leaving without making their mark on the first team is the 24 year old.

Nkunku made a total of 78 appearances for Les Parisiens during his time there, including 40 from the bench.

He has recorded 27 goals and 17 assists in 40 appearances this season, making him one of the most sought-after players in Europe.

The France international is being pursued by a number of teams, but Paris Saint-Germain are the most serious about signing him.

The reports say that he is in talks with his representatives about a possible move.

Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid, despite the fact that he is a World Cup winner, and the hope is that re-signing Nkunku will convince him to stay.

According to Sky Sports Deutschland, Nkunku will be offered a contract extension that will see him get a pay rise if they keep him.

A release clause that could rise as high as $65 million would be included in an effort to show that they are willing to compromise.
