PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are desperate to secure a world-class striker and they now have their eye on AC Milan forward Carlos Bacca.
The Ligue 1 champions are yet to find a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic after Atletico Madrid talisman Antoine Griezmann turned them down last summer.
Griezmann has revealed PSG spoke to his agent about a potential move during the summer but the 25-year-old dismissed the talks to focus on Euro 2016.
The French international said: “Yes, but as it was during Euros I told my agent I do not want to listen.
“I told him: ‘I do not want you talking to me of Atletico or Paris – I want you to leave me in Clairefontaine.’ But I know they were very interested.
“They are a big club that wants to become even bigger. I hope for them that they will get there.”
