da pinup bet： The Ligue 1 champions have been criticised for neglecting their domestic market in recent years, but this summer could see a change in strategy

da prosport bet： This year might finally be the year that Paris Saint-Germain do it. They might be about to abandon the model of signing high-profile, expensive players, and instead bring in a raft of youngsters that they either failed to snap up, or indeed let go, a few years ago.

Football advisor Luis Campos has to realise the reality of the situation, trigger the rebuild, and trust that a young French core, buoyed by some world-class additions, will develop into a consistent European power.

That annual promise is always floated but never seems to hold up, though. Indeed, in Kylian Mbappe, the Parisians have the poster boy of young French talent.

But the rest of them — France's promising core of youngsters — are dispersed around Europe, spurned by PSG before they even had the chance to prove themselves.

A total revamp of the transfer strategy is admittedly unlikely, but PSG have cash to spend this summer, and some key areas to address. They need a No.9, a central midfielder, and perhaps an extra winger. A centre-back also wouldn't go amiss.

The good news is that there's French talent at all of those positions that can be plucked from around the continent. And why wouldn't a youngster want to move to the capital to play for the country's most successful club? The pride of representing PSG, opportunity to be a part of a new era, and, indeed, the payday involved, should appeal to any number of French nationals.

But on who should the Ligue 1 leaders be focusing their attention? GOAL takes a lot at some of the French signings PSG could make this summer…

PSG are unlikely to be the only club in the reckoning to sign Kolo Muani this summer, and it's easy to see why.

Despite his memorable miss in the final, the striker made a name for himself for the right reasons at the World Cup, and has only improved for Eintracht Frankfurt since.

At 24, he's older than most of the players on this list, but his experience has made him more well-rounded.

Although he's not necessarily prolific, Kolo Muani can do a bit of everything, and has proved for France that he can make an excellent strike partner for Mbappe.

The German side reportedly want upwards of €100 million (£89m/$107m) for their young star, but that is the going rate for a forward coming into his prime, especially one with 20 goals and 14 assists to their name this season.

Thuram has steadily become more and more effective over the past four years, and seems to be linked with a move to a big club every summer.

Now, though, is the ideal time for PSG to strike.

Thuram is enjoying his best-ever season, with 16 goals and six assists to his name in all competitions, and is set to be a free agent this summer after Borussia Monchengladbach confirmed that they had failed to agree a contract extension with the France international.

Thuram has immense potential as a central striker. At 6'2, he has the sufficient size to play as a No.9 alongside Mbappe, while his dribbling ability and pace make him a viable goal threat in his own right.

PSG know the younger Thuram brother all too well. The midfielder danced around the Parisians for Nice a couple of weeks ago, terrifying a clueless Achraf Hakimi and Marquinhos in a slightly unfortunate 2-0 loss for the underdogs.

The midfielder isn't exactly the most polished player, but he's immensely dangerous in one-on-one situations, and can pick a pass in the final third.

PSG can be void of ideas in and around the box when Lionel Messi and Mbappe are swarmed — and need an attacking wildcard.

Having Thuram would open up the pitch, and provide options for the Parisians against the litany of Ligue 1 sides that look to sit deep.

Real Madrid are supposedly interested in the youngster, but PSG could comfortably match — or beat — any offer Los Blancos make.

PSG have been here before with Cherki, having tried to sign him in the January window. Lyon, however, were far from impressed with their rivals' pursuit, club president Jean-Michel Aulas dubbing their offer "insulting."

Chances are, the Parisians could return with a better offer this summer, though, and it would be a smart piece of business.

PSG covet an attacking midfielder, and Cherki has the ability to change the game with his dribbling ability.

Scouts have compared him to Hatem Ben Arfa, although it's likely that Cherki would enjoy a more successful tenure at PSG than Ben Arfa's forgettable two-year stint.
