PSG line up big-money move for Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba
Champions League finalists Real Madrid are attempting to pull off a sensational, world-record deal at £250m for former Barcelona superstar Neymar.
If they succeed, PSG will then target Manchester United midfielder Pogba at £100m.
The Paris club are already committed to making their loan deal for Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, 19, a permanent transfer at £165m.
And French sources say PSG would concentrate on creating a young, mainly French side if Brazil's Neymar, 25 is sold.

Pogba, also 25, would fit into that criteria and has had an erratic season.
PSG are also mindful of Financial Fair Play rules.
They therefore would basically use the Neymar fee to complete the Mbappe deal and sign Pogba.
But United might not play ball on their £89m record signing.
Boss Jose Mourinho said last week that he "thinks" Pogba will be at Old Trafford next year.
He said: "That is my feeling and I don't want him to leave."
But PSG are prepared to put that stance to the test if Neymar - a player United would also love - makes a stunning move to Madrid.
But the Brazilian, who is set to resume training today after foot surgery, has been pictured wearing next season's PSG home kit.
He tweeted: "Proud to wear the jersey and continue giving you joy."
