  • Chelsea and Liverpool have entered the race to sign Kylian Mbappe
  • The Premier League teams are ready to challenge Real Madrid for the PSG star
  • Mbappe is in the final months of his contract with PSG

The race to sign Kylian Mbappe has gotten a new twist following the revelations that the Paris Saint-Germain forward is on the radar of two English Premier League clubs.

Real Madrid were the frontrunners to sign the 24-year-old attacker after failing in their previous two attempts to lure the Frenchman away from PSG in the last two seasons.

According to Madrid Universal, Chelsea and Liverpool have emerged as contenders eager to secure the services of Mbappe, who will be available for free next summer when his PSG contract expires.

Both Premier League clubs are prepared to go into a bidding war with Real Madrid as they are already gearing up to invest substantial sums in their pursuit of the PSG star.

Mbappe has maintained a cryptic silence regarding his future lately, although it is widely speculated the forward appears keen to leave Parc des Princes for a new challenge at the end of the 2023/24 season.

Real Madrid wants guarantees from Mbappe

Meanwhile, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez wants guarantees from Kylian Mbappe about his future next summer before the Spanish club makes another move to sign him next summer, Football Espana reports.

The 24-year-old forward turned down Los Blancos to accept a new contract with PSG two summers ago, and Perez needs assurances that he will sign with them in order to prevent the embarrassment of that fateful June.

Real Madrid and Perez want to be certain of their position by January and will most certainly pursue another top attacker next summer if Mbappe is not available.

Mbappe ready to leave PSG

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Kylian Mbappe looks set to bring to an end his seven-year reign at Paris Saint-Germain, with reports suggesting he is now willing to leave the Parisians for free in 2024.

The 24-year-old forward has been in a standoff with the reigning Ligue 1 champions for refusing to extend his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season.

Real Madrid are still interested in signing Mbappe, with club president Florentino Perez wanting guarantees from the forward that he will sign with Los Blancos to avoid the embarrassment live before.
