Manchester City is set to surpass Real Madrid in the race to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain sensation Kylian Mbappe. According to DefensaCentral, the English champions are determined to go head-to-head with Real Madrid in their pursuit of the 25-year-old star. Manchester City is willing to go to great lengths to ensure Mbappe joins their ranks.
Mbappe has already informed PSG officials that he will not be extending his contract and will be departing the club at the end of the season. Despite the French club’s efforts to retain him, the World Cup winner has made up his mind to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
Real Madrid has been a long-standing contender for Mbappe’s signature, with rumors of a potential move dating back several years. Although he considered joining Los Blancos as a free agent in 2022, the talented forward ultimately decided to remain at PSG. However, Real Madrid’s desire to secure his services has only intensified since then.
Recent reports suggest that Mbappe’s representatives have engaged in discussions with both Manchester City and Real Madrid as he weighs his options for the future. In their pursuit of the star, Manchester City is prepared to outbid Real Madrid, offering him a higher salary than the Spanish giants. In fact, City is ready to make Mbappe the highest-paid player in the team, surpassing even Erling Haaland.
The prospect of Mbappe and Haaland playing together in the same team is a nightmare scenario for defenders across Europe.
