PSG's £130m move for Kylian Mbappe went through this summer in addition to the £33m signing of Thilo Kherer from Schalke.

The financial clout of the Qatar Sports Investments club means another huge signing is still very much in the offing.

NAIJ.com previously reported that Barcelona are to listen to offers for Croatia international Ivan Rakitic before the close of the ongoing summer transfer.

After the completion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Ivan Rakitic emerged as a summer transfer target for French club Paris-Saint-Germain.

And according to the report by UK Mirror, PSG chiefs are ready to meet Barcelona's asking price to lure the 30-year-old star to France this month.
