Real Madrid confident to sign Kylian Mbappe despite late FC Barcelona interest

Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe has been one of the best players in the world ever since he burst onto the scene as a young teenager with AS Monaco. The Frenchman has at times single handed log won games for his team and is widely considered to be the next in line to dominate world football after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Mbappe started his career at AS Monaco and helped them win the French league in his first full season as a professional football player. The 23 year old also helped the club reach their first UEFA Champions League semi final that year as well. It was at that time that all the big teams in the world started taking notice.
However, it was Paris Saint-German who signed the Frenchman in 2017 on an initial loan. Mbappe signed permanently for the Parisian club later that year and has since been one of the best players to play in the club’s history.
The 23 year old has scored some very famous goals in his career and he also became the first teenager to score a goal in the FIFA World Cup Final since Pele. Mbappe has won 4 Ligue 1 titles already and has also won the FIFA World Cup whilst being the standout player for France. However, the 23 year old has still not won the Champions League.

Real Madrid still favourites to sign Kylian Mbappe:

Real Madrid are confident of landing Kylian Mbappe despite a late interest from FC Barcelona. The Galacticos have been the favourites to sign Mbappe ever since the youngster announced he wanted to leave Paris Saint-German to try a new adventure.
Kylian Mbappe is also reported to be a childhood Real Madrid fan, which makes it easier for the Madrid based club to sign the 23 year old. Kylian Mbappe has made it no secret in admitting that he dreams to play for Real Madrid in the future. The Frenchman has always flirted with the idea of joining the Los Blancos ever since it was reported that the Spanish club was interested in signing him.
However, in the last few months, FC Barcelona have also enquired about Mbappe’s situation at PSG. The Catalunya club has expressed their desire to sign the wonderkid after it was reported that Real Madrid were trying to sign Erling Haaland instead. Real Madrid are still hopeful to sign the 23 year old on a free after his contract expires in the summer.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are the only clubs to be in the race to sign Kylian Mbappe currently. But, due to Barcelona’s financial situation, it does not seem likely they will agree to pay the hefty fee for Mbappe’s salary.
Paris Saint-Germain have been trying to extend Kylian Mbappe’s contract since a long time but an agreement is far off from taking place. The 23 year old’s current teammates have also been trying to convince him to stay at the club. However, not even the signing of Lionel Messi has convinced Mbappe to extend his current deal which expires in the summer.
On the other hand, Real Madrid players have openly talked about the prospect of having the Frenchman as their new teammate and how wonderful it would be for them to team up with the Frenchman. Kylian Mbappe was applauded by the Real Madrid fans when he faced the Spanish club in the Champions League Round of 16 earlier this month. The 23 year old scored in both the legs against the Los Blancos and was one of the best players on the pitch.
