Though there appear to have been conflicting reports regarding the French World Cup winner’s next move, Spanish outlet, Cadena Ser, noted that Los Blancos were ‘definitively ruling out the signing of Kylian Mbappe.’
There are suggestions that the 24-year-old wants more money than Real president, Florentino Perez, is prepared to pay and, bizarrely, a question mark over his age. In any event, the news that the Frenchman may well be available from next summer means that Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United and Newcastle, all of whom have been previously linked with Mbappe according to FourFourTwo, could be in with a chance of securing his signature.
Of the four Premier League giants, both Liverpool and Chelsea would appear to be in pole position.
Man United are still struggling domestically and in Europe and are hardly an appealing proposition for a player with Mbappe’s ambitions. Newcastle would surely be able to afford the player’s demands, but Eddie Howe has been keen to ensure that the equilibrium of his dressing room remains.
