3 clubs who can challenge Real Madrid for the signing of Kylian Mbappe?

Real Madrid’s dream signing of French star Kylian Mbappe miraculously failed this summer, after the Ligue 1 club denied letting go of their star forward, and have continued to maintain a similar stance since then. However, with only 8 months left in Mbappe’s current contract with Paris Saint Germain, it looks more likely than ever before that they will have to let go of him the next summer.

For a player of Kylian Mbappe’s quality, it would not be much of a difficulty to find a new club, as he would come as a free agent, in an era where a half-decent player goes for an approximate 70million Euros. Real Madrid already had consecutive bids of €160m, €180m and leading clubs around Europe have lined up ever since to sign the player next year.

In this article, we take a look into the clubs that can challenge Real Madrid next summer for the signing of teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe.

Where will Kylian Mbappe be playing next summer?

Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp and Mbappe

Liverpool were one of the Premier League clubs that have shown their interest in signing Mbappe ever since it was known that he would look for a move away from France. Although Jurgen Klopp has often said in the past that they do not have the means to pull of a money heist like that, this would not hold good next year given the fact they would not have to pay a transfer fee for him and will be able to sign him for free.

A player of Mbappe’s class should also relish the challenge of playing England as it would bring out another side to his gameplay and hopefully help him reach another level in the future.

FC Barcelona

Real Madrid’s eternal rivals FC Barcelona have made a surprise entry into the race for Kylian Mbappe, and however, surprising it might sound given their financial condition, the men who matter at the top of the club are looking at his signing as a turning point in their recent struggles.

The Catalan club have pinned their hopes on the belief that they would be able to spend more in the next summer to bring in the player at the club. And with Mbappe becoming a free transfer next year, it would only boost their chances of bringing him and Barcelona are willing to pay about 90 million euros upfront, as compared to Real Madrid’s initial offer of only 50 million.

Newcastle United

Is Mbappe to Newcastle United a possibility?

Premier League and the World’s richest club, Newcastle United can literally buy any player they want after their 300 million takeover by the Saudi consortium a few days back. With the club looking at wholesale changes in the coming years, they need a star signing as well to back up their plans and a free signing of Mbappe would be the best way to go about it. It will also serve as a huge statement of intent to the other clubs around the world and help their brand value increase all across Europe. The new owners are ready to splash the cash and sign one of the best young forwards of the current football.
