Real Madrid is reportedly eyeing a move for Kylian Mbappe, the French star striker who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Club President Florentino Perez sees Mbappe as a priority transfer target to strengthen the team’s attacking line. Mbappe is said to be seeking a change of scenery as he does not believe PSG will win the Champions League, especially with the potential departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar. While Real Madrid engaged in talks with Mbappe last year, the forward decided to extend his contract with PSG until 2025. However, the deal will expire next June, and hopes remain in Madrid that Mbappe may move to Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer of 2024.
