Kylian Mbappe has ordered Paris Saint-Germain to sign a player he prefers and who would ease him the striker role.
PSG are now in the transfer market, negotiating with Olympique Lyon for their striker, Rayan Cherki on the demand of Kylian Mbappe.
The French World Cup winner was made part of the team’s sporting directors that could dictate what players should be added to the team, in a contract that saw him become the highest football earner at the time.
Mbappe’s camp sees 19-year-old Cherki as a perfect suit for a striker that would fit into playing the striker role as he prefers operating from the right himself.

French journalist, Riolo revealed PSG are comfortable with the current members of their team but are only going after Cherki on Mbappe’s request.
It’s orchestrated on the PSG side through this intermediary. As we speak, Cherki goes to PSG.
“PSG has discussed, Campos under pressure from the Mbappé clan is looking into the file ok, but it’s a €30m file.
“Campos[PSG’s Sporting director] is only interested in the file because he is told to be interested in it.
“Mbappe is extraordinary, but for all that, must he have, with the people around him, this power to say recruit this player?
“You will see, in the next survey that will come out, words from Kylian’s mother saying to PSG: ‘I do what I want,’ even if she doesn’t really do it.
“It is problematic in the management of this club. It means that the club works very strangely.”
Mbappe’s mother is reported to be involved in making the decision of bringing the young player.
