Manchester City plotting Kylian Mbappe swoop if PSG deal collapses
Manchester City are plotting a move for Kylian Mbappe should his deal to sign permanently for Paris St Germain collapse, according to reports.
The young France international joined PSG last summer on a loan deal with the option for the Ligue 1 leaders to buy him this coming summer for £167million.
The agreement was struck in the same window in which they bought Neymar from Barcelona for £200m.
Those mega-money deals have led Uefa to open an investigation into the Parisians that could potentially scupper the Mbappe agreement.

He remains keen to add him to his squad as he looks to strengthen his already formidable team.
