Real Madrid is the dream move for Mbappe, who is desperate to join the club after snubbing them for years. Mbappe is determined this time and communicated to PSG that he won’t extend his contract next season. As a result, the Parisians want to sell the player and have opted for pressure tactics to force him out of the club.
The Qatari-owned club dropped Mbappe from the Asia tour and made him train with undesirables. According to reports from France, PSG will prevent Mbappe from joining the primary team before the season opener. Despite PSG accepting the world-record Al Hilal bid, Mbappe didn’t even talk to the Saudi Arabian club. The Premier League clubs are not bidding because they are aware of his Real Madrid dream.

It will be interesting to see how the saga ends.
