Kylian Mbappe has been Real Madrid’s number one target for over a year now, but they are set to face stiff competition to secure his signature at the end of the season. The La Liga leaders will have to fend off interest from fierce rivals Barcelona if they are to sign the Ballon d’Or winner in waiting in the summer.

Mbappe is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season when his deal expires, with it looking increasingly unlikely that the France international will extend his stay at the club. Madrid previously saw two mammoth bids rejected for the forward in the summer despite that.

Los Blancos are keen to build a young, energetic side that can become a super force in Europe once again. With Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga and Frederico Valverde, the club have a core group of top-quality players and need just a sprinkling of world-class players to be truly deadly.
