Liverpool's Mohamed Salah could be on his way to Paris Saint-Germain as a high-profile replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

According to Telefoot, PSG have made contact with Salah’s representatives to gauge his interest in joining the club this summer.

He has maintained his own high standards in a Liverpool team that have struggled to replicate their dominant performances on the way to last season’s Premier league title.

Salah has 19 goals, leaving him level with Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane at the top of the scoring charts, but Sadio Mane is way down on his previous total.

With Mbappe’s contract situation still unresolved, PSG are exploring who they could bring in as a replacement if the 22-year-old decides to leave.

This season, Mbappe has overtaken Neymar as the undisputed star of the PSG project, with a series of electrifying performances in the Champions League marking him out as a future Ballon d’Or winner.

The French international, who helped his country win the World Cup in 2018, has 33 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Mbappe’s goals helped give PSG a 3-2 win going into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against the holders, who narrowly beat them in last year’s final.
