Lionel Messi asks Barcelona to sign Kylian Mbappe
It would be fair to say that Barcelona are dependent on Lionel Messi's antics now more than ever before and as such, the Cules are expected to go into the market looking for a goalscorer. And now, they are all set to go ahead and pursue the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona are reportedly readying a €180 million bid. However, there is a twist in the tale. Barca want to reach an agreement with the player over the course of this summer that he won't join another club and then sign him in 2021 when he will have one year remaining in the contract and he can be the focal point of Barcelona's attack.
Lionel Messi himself asked the board to step up their pursuit of the Frenchman and it wouldn't be entirely surprising if they do indeed make a move for him in the summer.
