Real Madrid are set to make perhaps the world’s most expensive transfer next year and Barcelona’s UCL tie with PSG has aligned the stars well.
Real Madrid have been chasing Kylian Mbappe in an unwavering manner and could finally realise their interest in him next summer. With the Frenchman entering the final year of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, the Whites see his signing as the perfect opportunity and a perfect price in 2021.
Spanish daily AS has now claimed that Barcelona are set to influence the Spaniard’s move to Real Madrid in one way or another, and the latest Champions League draws provides for somewhat of an inevitability about the Frenchman arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu. Barca are set to take on PSG and irrespective of the result, all signs point towards Mbappe moving.
In the event that Paris Saint-Germain fall to a depleted Barcelona, Real Madrid will have a clear shot at signing Mbappe for the simple reason that the Ligue 1 giants would have once again faltered in the European Cup- which is in truth the pinnacle of world football. Los Blancos, having won the competition 13 times are the cream of the crop.
Meanwhile, if the Parisians win, it may be the end of Messi’s tenure at the Camp Nou. In all fairness to the Argentinian, Barca have been lacklustre in the competition and it is him who has scored the most crucial goals. Neymar has invited Messi to PSG and with the Argentine’s potential arrival in France, Mbappe could be pushed out for financial reasons by the side.
Zinedine Zidane is also expected to stay the Madrid coach till the end of the season at least after weathering past the fiercest of storms in his reign. The Frenchman is key to Mbappe joining the 34-time La Liga champions and it seems that everything is now getting aligned towards Mbappe signing.
