Real Madrid Eyeing World Record Transfer Move for Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid is reportedly planning to bolster its squad with new signings in order to maintain their success on the pitch. The club has been linked with several world-class players, including Jude Bellingham, but they may be aiming for a bigger target. With Karim Benzema struggling with injuries and reaching the age of 35, the Spanish giants are looking for a new forward to replace the iconic Frenchman, and Kylian Mbappe’s name has been repeatedly mentioned.
According to a report by The Telegraph, Real Madrid is set to take advantage of the uncertainty at Paris Saint-Germain this summer and explore the possibility of a world record transfer move for Mbappe. While the French superstar left a bitter taste in the mouths of Real Madrid fans last season due to his unexpected decision to extend his contract with PSG, there is little doubt that signing him would be a major coup for the Spanish club.
Real Madrid appears to be building a team of new Galacticos that could dominate European football for years to come. However, Mbappe wouldn’t be available on a free transfer until the summer of 2024 at the earliest, meaning any move for the Frenchman this summer would likely require a world record transfer fee.
