  • Real Madrid are willing to sacrifice their pursuit of PSG and France forward Kylian Mbappe
  • Mbappe is on the radar of the Spanish giants again after turning down a move last summer
  • Los Blancos are hoping to land a vital new signing after sealing a move for talented Endrick

Kylian Mbappe may just not get the opportunity to play for Real Madrid just yet, as the Spanish champions are having second thoughts about signing the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

The 2022 World Cup golden ball winner turned down an opportunity to sign for Los Blancos last summer, but Real Madrid re-ignited their interest in the 24-year-old after his amazing World Cup heroics.

According to Sportskeeda, Real Madrid are now pondering sacrificing their push to sign Mbappe, to accommodate bringing superstars like Jude Bellingham and Endrick in.

Brazilian youngster Endrick has already penned a deal with the reigning La Liga champions, while Bellingham has emerged as a major target for the Spanish giants to replace Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the long-term.

Real Madrid are looking to prioritise accommodating both of these players, as opposed to pushing the majority of the club’s funds into signing Mbappe for the second time.

Real Madrid wants Mbappe's request

Real Madrid will only consider taking the signing of Mbappe seriously if the French forward hands in a transfer request to Paris Saint-Germain, Madrid Universal reports.

The Spanish champions are indeed open to restarting the negotiations with PSG for the Frenchman, but only if this condition is met.

Mbappe is reportedly unhappy with the Ligue 1 club’s chiefs and wants to leave, after he claimed they reneged on their initial promises.

Mbappe could accept pay cut

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Mbappe and PSG possibly parting ways, less than a year after the French forward penned a lucrative three-year deal with the Ligue 1 champions.

The 24-year-old is seemingly unhappy with the PSG hierarchy for alleged unkept promises, after he was persuaded to reject a bid from Real Madrid to stay in Paris.

It is believed Mbappe has now decided he wants to leave the French capital at the end of the season, and is willing to accept a pay cut to force the move.
