London-born Olise has been in excellent form for Bundesliga champions Bayern, scoring 18 goals and providing 25 assists in 44 appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Doue, 20, has three years left on his contract with PSG and is valued at around 115 million euros, compared to 100 million euros for Dembele, who is eight years older and has two years left on his contract.<\/p>\n<p>PSG teammate Bradley Barcola scores the goal. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Starred in the match against Chelsea<\/span> In the Champions League, they are next with 70 million euros, followed by Cerki with 65 million euros.<\/p>\n<h2>Cherki&#8217;s value may increase<\/h2>\n<p>Cherki first attracted attention six years ago, at the age of 16, when he scored twice in a French Cup match for Lyon. He has since entered a new dimension <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Joins Manchester City<\/span> In the off-season, it now looks like an exorbitant fee of 36 million euros.

He is on loan at Tottenham, and although his form has declined, PSG would probably sell him for $30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Kolo Muani almost wrote their name in the history books of the 2022 World Cup, but they squandered the chance just before extra time. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">final<\/span>France lost to Argentina on penalties, despite Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s hat-trick. ___<\/p>\n<p>AP World Cup coverage: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/fifa-world-cup<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/france-billion-dollar-attack-world-cup-a9447b84e8a4e0610869475c3217e00f\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PARIS (AP) \u2014 France will look to add depth to its attack in the second leg. world cup.
