Real Madrid’s pursuit of Jude Bellingham this summer has been well-documented, with various reports confirming that the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is ready to join the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid have expertly moved ahead of Manchester City to secure an agreement with Bellingham, though the deal could hinge on the club finding an agreement with Borussia Dortmund as well.
Nevertheless, in the midst of speculations linking Bellingham to Santiago Bernabeu, it appears Real Madrid are eyeing another fabulous swoop this summer by targeting Kylian Mbappe, reports The Telegraph.
The report suggests Real Madrid are looking to take advantage of Paris Saint-Germain this summer and explore a move for Mbappe. They have revived their interest in the Frenchman, who was close to joining the ranks of Real Madrid last summer.
After renewing his contract with PSG, things have not gone according to plan for Mbappe. The former AS Monaco starlet has been left disappointed by the club’s lack of success in the Champions League.
There has also been discontent between the player and the board, for failing to sign a new number nine last summer.
PSG are also facing the risk of losing Messi, who is likely to move elsewhere amid interest from Barcelona and Saudi Arabian clubs. Aware of the situation, Los Blancos are prepared to inflict further pain on the Parisian club by snatching Mbappe this summer.
Given that Erling Haaland is likely to stay at Manchester City for the time being, Real Madrid could look to pull their resources for Mbappe.
The player himself could fancy a move to Santiago Bernabeu, where he would have the opportunity to become the attacking leader, alongside Vinicius Junior.
The potential combination of Vinicius and Mbappe, coupled with the presence of Karim Benzema and Bellingham in the team, could make Real Madrid arguably the strongest in Europe, thus equipping them with the resources to dominate club football in the years to come.
