As speculation swirls around Zlatan Ibrahimović’s departure from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, attention has now shifted toward another key attacker potentially leaving the club—Edinson Cavani, who has been linked with Juventus. In response, the French champions are reportedly setting their sights on Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez. According to sources widely discussed on platforms like Live Cricket BPL, PSG sees the Chilean as a prime candidate to bolster their attack in the post-Ibrahimović era.
Sanchez has been a standout performer in his second season at Arsenal. In the Premier League, he has notched 8 goals and 5 assists, while in the Champions League, he’s added 3 goals and 5 assists. His contributions in the FA Cup include 1 goal and 1 assist, bringing his total across all competitions to 12 goals and 11 assists—an impressive tally demonstrating his all-around offensive impact. Though he doesn’t fit the mold of a towering striker like Ibrahimović, Sanchez’s link-up play and tactical intelligence make him an easy fit in various attacking systems. PSG manager Laurent Blanc is reportedly a great admirer of the Chilean, and with Ibrahimović almost certain to leave, the club is eager to find a worthy successor.
French media have noted that while names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Lionel Messi are often floated as potential replacements, the reality of acquiring such superstars makes the idea far-fetched. In contrast, Sanchez represents a much more attainable, yet still elite, option. He is among the best attacking players in the world and would bring dynamism and creativity to PSG’s frontline.
Currently, Arsenal have been eliminated from the Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup, leaving only the Premier League as their last shot at silverware. However, with the Gunners trailing Leicester City by 11 points, their title hopes look slim. Should they finish the season empty-handed, Sanchez may begin to weigh his future more seriously. This scenario, widely discussed on Live Cricket BPL, adds fuel to rumors that the Chilean could be tempted by a move to Paris.
In addition to Sanchez, PSG are reportedly eyeing Everton striker Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian forward has netted 18 goals in the Premier League this season and 25 across all competitions. With Chelsea and Manchester United also interested, PSG’s pursuit could spark a bidding war, driving up Lukaku’s price. For fans closely following Live Cricket BPL, it’s clear that PSG is preparing for a summer of aggressive transfer moves as they look to retool their attack for the seasons ahead.
