According to a recent report by AS (via the Daily Mail), Real Madrid have given up their pursuit of Neymar and would now concentrate on bringing his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in this offseason. The same source has revealed that Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is planning for a summer overhaul of his squad and is interested in securing the services of the French youngster during the summer transfer period.
Mbappe’s Mixed Season At Paris
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has enjoyed another impressive season with PSG as he helped the club win another Ligue 1 title last season. However, the French international has not managed to do so well in the Champions League as he failed to get the better of Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League knockout phases.
Mbappe has made 43 appearances for PSG this term, scoring 39 goals while creating 17 assists in all competitions. He has also earned 31 international caps for France while registering 12 goals for them in the process.
The 20-year-old is one of the most promising young players in Europe, so it could prove to be a massive coup for the Galacticos if they can lure him to the Spanish capital ahead of the new season.
What Will The French Sensation Add To Zidane’s Team?
Mbappe is one of the quickest players in world football and is a difficult man to catch when he gets space to run behind the opposition backline. What makes the French wonderkid such an exceptional talent is his ability to score and assist goals consistently on the pitch at such a young age. He is already world-class and has the potential to become one of the greatest players of this generation.
Is Mbappe The Right Fit For Los Blancos?
Thus, becoming a Galactico could give Mbappe an ideal platform to showcase his worth at the top of European football. He has all the skillset required to become a Real Madrid legend if he opts to make a move to Spain this summer.
Mbappe is versatile enough to play anywhere across the frontline which makes him such a useful asset for Thomas Tuchel’s side. The French starlet will be an excellent fit for the La Liga giants as they look to compete with Barcelona for the league title next season.
