Not content with the addition of record transfer Neymar, PSG are looking for yet another marquee signing to play alongside the Brazilian.

As reported by 'Le Parisien' on Monday, Paris Saint-Germain are looking for yet another blockbuster signing before the transfer window shuts on August 31.

The French giants want a star to partner their £198 million signing, with Philippe Coutinho and Kylian Mbappe their top targets.

Mbappe is reportedly open to playing alongside Neymar and is PSG's favoured option, but if Monaco cannot be persuaded into allowing the move, the Parisian side will turn their attentions to Liverpool star Coutinho.

PSG could once again get in the way of Barcelona's plans if they make a move for Coutinho, but the French side will first go all out to sign Mbappe. PSG want a Frenchman to star for their team for the first time in over 10 years.

However, Coutinho's well-known friendship with Neymar could see the Brazilian pair reunited in Paris. In the meantime, PSG plan another overhaul to finance with a signing that will cost upwards of £100 million.
