In another Kylian Mbappe transfer saga twist, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appears to be shifting their focus away from Real Madrid and towards their bitter rivals, Barcelona, as per Lequipe.
The French club has grown impatient with the lack of progress from Real Madrid in acquiring the services of their star forward and is now seriously considering Barcelona's interest.
The media has been abuzz with speculation about Kylian Mbappe's future, and it seems likely that he will be on the move this summer. Real Madrid has long been the leading candidate to secure the coveted striker, but the Spanish giants have been surprisingly quiet. This silence may prove costly as other clubs have entered the fray, including Chelsea, Barcelona, and Saudi-based Al-Hilal.
Al Hilal have already made a staggering €300 million bid for the 24-year-old superstar. PSG is inclined to accept this offer, forcing Madrid to act swiftly to secure their prime target.
Enter Barcelona, who have sprung a sudden interest in Kylian Mbappe's situation. Despite their precarious financial state, the Catalan club is determined to engage in discussions with PSG about a potential move for the Frenchman. In a bold move, Barcelona has even proposed a deal involving two of their key players - Gavi and Ousmane Dembele - as part of the package for Mbappe.
However, the likelihood of such a proposition materializing appears slim. Gavi and Dembele are integral components of Xavi's plans, making it improbable for Barcelona to part ways with them. Moreover, fitting Mbappe's hefty salary into their wage bill poses another significant challenge for the struggling club.
Nevertheless, this growing interest from Barcelona would force Madrid to rethink their strategy. With the player favoring a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid must act swiftly to finalize a deal with PSG before their arch-rivals can steal the coveted forward from under their noses.
