Barcelona set to rival Real Madridfor Monaco Star

Barcelona is set to rival Real Madrid for Monaco star Kylian Mbappe as a  replacement for Paris Saint-Germain bound Neymar this summer according to reports in Paris.

Interestingly the player wants an exit from France this summer, Mbappe wants to test himself in one of the elite leagues next season and he is ready to push for a move out of Monaco.

Real Madrid has been flirting with Mbappe all Summer and without any doubt, the French international is one of the most coveted players in football right now.

Mbappe burst into scene last season when he guided Monaco to the semifinals of the Champions League and won the Ligue 1 for the first time in 17 years.

One of the most attracting things about the player is he is young and he has a lot of talent that surpasses his age which has brought European best clubs to the door steps of the French Champions.

The saga will likely come down to who is willing to pay more between Real and Barcelona. Reports earlier this week suggest that Barcelona is indeed interested in Mbappe.

If Neymar is sold to PSG this coming week, they will have money burning a hole in their pocket. Monaco will be presented with a plethora of offers for Mbappe— now Real just have to make the most appealing one to sign Mbappe.
