Real Madrid Identifies Bayern Munich Star as Potential Alternative to PSG’s Kylian Mbappe

• Real Madrid are again keen on landing Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe
• The La Liga giants are set to move for their highly coveted target in the summer of 2024
• Los Blancos have identified an alternative in any instance a move for Mbappe falls through

While the summer transfer window has long since closed, the world of football remains abuzz with activity as clubs engage in ongoing transfer discussions and rumours.

One prominent rumour revolves around Real Madrid's potential move for Bayern Munich's star player, Jamal Musiala.

Despite Real Madrid's repeated expressions of interest in securing Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe as their primary target for the summer of 2024, a recent report from the German outlet Sport Bild suggests that Los Blancos are actively pursuing the talented German midfielder Musiala as an alternative option.

The report indicates that if Real Madrid fails to secure the services of Mbappe from PSG, they will turn their attention to Musiala.

While it's expected that Bayern Munich will put up a strong resistance to the sale of this gifted midfielder, the current impasse in contract negotiations between Musiala and the Bavarian club could present an opportunity for Real Madrid to capitalise on.

According to 90mins, the 20-year-old Musiala has put contract renewal talks on hold until at least the end of the season.

With his current contract set to expire in the summer of 2026, uncertainty looms over whether Musiala will extend his stay at the Allianz Arena.

Bellingham pivotal to Musiala's transfer

A key aspect to consider in Musiala's potential transfer to Real Madrid is his close friendship with Jude Bellingham, which could prove mutually beneficial.

The 20-year-old Real Madrid midfielder currently leads the goalscoring charts in La Liga and shares the top spot in the Champions League.

The strong bond between the two was evident when Musiala sent a congratulatory video to Bellingham upon receiving his Ballon d'Or Kopa trophy.

Both players have risen through the ranks of the England national team setup, making a reunion at Real Madrid an enticing prospect for Musiala.

Furthermore, it's worth noting that Manchester City, the English football powerhouse, is also keen on Musiala, with manager Pep Guardiola viewing him as a potential successor to Kevin De Bruyne. This adds another dimension to the ongoing transfer saga surrounding the talented midfielder.
