Manchester City reportedly engaged in discussions with Kylian Mbappe’s representatives just a day before the Paris Saint-Germain star expressed his desire to leave, as per Spanish news outlet Cadena SER.
While Real Madrid has long been pursuing Mbappe, Manchester City’s recent involvement has added a new dimension to the transfer saga. Despite PSG’s efforts to keep him, Mbappe’s relationship with the club soured after a standoff last summer over a contract extension.
Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunner for Mbappe’s signature, offering him substantial financial incentives and the opportunity to become the highest-paid player at the Bernabeu.
However, Manchester City’s interest has introduced competition into the mix.
Both clubs boast formidable squads and a track record of success, making them attractive destinations for the French forward. Mbappe’s ultimate decision will likely hinge on factors beyond financial gain, as evidenced by his previous rejection of lucrative offers.
