PSG want to get Mbappe out of the club at any cost, willing to make sacrifices – report
After having their latest renewal proposal rejected by Kylian Mbappe, PSG know that a sale is the only feasible option.
The French club have been trying to resolve the youngster’s future for a long time now, but it has finally boiled down to just one option.
According to reports from L’Equipe, PSG want to find a way to get Mbappe out of the club at any cost. Everyone involved in the process is willing to make a sacrifice to make it happen.
Newfound optimism in Madrid
For a long time, Real Madrid were unsure of where to stand on the Mbappe transfer saga.
It is no secret that the World Cup winner wants to join the Spanish outfit. However, his prolonged silence on the topic coupled with PSG’s negotiations with other parties opened the door for doubt.
Reports yesterday brought to light that there is now optimism growing in the Spanish capital over Mbappe’s arrival.
It is likely that Real Madrid and PSG meet in the middle of this summer and facilitate a move that benefits all parties involved.
Real Madrid have a bid ready
Florentino Perez has the opening bid of €180 million for Mbappe’s signing ready. However, he is waiting for the player to publicly announce his desire to leave PSG before he submits the proposal.
The finances do not worry the Merengues, for Mbappe has always been the dream of the club president. All that remains is for PSG or the player to openly begin negotiations and take it forward.
Ancelotti needs Mbappe
With Karim Benzema’s departure, Real Madrid lost their largest single source of goals. Their struggles in front of goal were well documented in the pre-season and can only be countered by the arrival of a world-class finisher.
Mbappe provides all of that and more. The Frenchman can act as an able winger on need but is also capable of functioning as a lethal finisher in front of goal. His incorporation would be the cherry on the cake for Los Blancos.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.
