Catalan giants Barcelona will not let French ace KylianMbappe easily opt forReal Madridif he leavesParis Saint-Germainthis summer.There is a strong likelihood that the Ligue 1 giant’sstar will leave as a free agent in June, and Los Blancosremain the front-runners to sign him.
However, according to the French newspaper L’Equipe, the Barcelona managementwill try to hijack the23-year-old’s move to Santiago Bernabeu and addhim to the Blaugrana’s ranksat the last minute.
“PSG havebeen informed of Barcelona’s intention to hire the player in the summer transfer window. Barcelona play according to the rules, that’s why they informed PSG.FIFA’s rules, in this case, are clear:if aclub wants to hire a player who is in the last six months of the contract, they can negotiate directly with the player, but must first inform his current club,” the French outletwrote.
Barcelona to use Dembele ot lure Mbappe
A number of Spanish media outlets are reporting that Carlo Ancelotti’s side were astonished to learn that their arch-rivals were interested in signing Kylian Mbappe.
Interestingly, to attempt to persuade him to reconsider his mind, Barca made a bid for him in the summer of 2017 before he joined Paris Saint-Germain. Another possible deal-breaker is Mbappe’s tight connection with Ousmane Dembele, even though the Frenchman is widely expected to leave Spain as a free agent.
