Kylian Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid has sparked intense discussions within the club's dressing room, with rumours swirling about his impending transfer to the Spanish capital.

The France national captain confirmed his departure from PSG after seven years, announcing he will leave the reigning Ligue 1 champions when his contract expires this summer.

Although Mbappe's next destination remains uncertain, reports strongly suggest a move to Real Madrid. However, Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal, have also shown interest in the 25-year-old forward.

Despite the competition, the French superstar seems inclined towards joining Los Blancos, a club that has pursued him for several seasons.

Mbappe vs Haaland: Real Madrid stars argue

In a video making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), the Real Madrid dressing room engaged in a lighthearted debate over the PSG star's prowess compared to Erling Haaland's.

While Mbappe's French compatriots - Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga - supported him, Jude Bellingham - a standout performer for Real this season - favoured Haaland.

The Englishman's comment, 'Haaland is better than your boy [Mbappe]', sparked lively resistance from his French teammates in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Bellingham and Haaland previously played together at Borussia Dortmund before the Norwegian's move to Manchester City last season, where he scored an impressive 52 goals.

As per reports from the BBC, Mbappe has reportedly agreed to join Madrid at the conclusion of the season.

On the flip side, despite Haaland having a few years remaining on his contract with Man City, there have been rumours linking him to the La Liga leaders, as cited by Caught Offside.

It remains to be seen which of the two forwards will make the move to the Spanish capital. Nonetheless, the addition of either player to Madrid's roster would undoubtedly bolster an already formidable squad.
