The Monaco striker is in demand after a stunning season for the Ligue 1 outfit, in which he won the French league title and helped his side reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Arsenal have supposedly had an £87million bid for the 18-year-old rejected, and Arsene Wenger is keen to sign him.
And according to Goal, PSG have had an offer worth £119m turned down.
Initially, it was thought PSG weren’t interested in a mega deal, but the report suggests their priorities have changed since Antero Henrique succeeded Patrick Kluivert as the club’s sporting director.
