ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
The Blancos have been heavily linked with the France international forward for several years, but missed out on his signature when a move to Paris Saint-Germain was made in 2017. They have also failed to put a deal in place across recent windows, despite having offers of €200 million (£174m/$212m) plus on the table.

WHAT THEY SAID
Mbappe has, however, stopped short of signing another new contract at PSG, meaning that he could become a free agent next summer. La Liga president Tebas expects that situation to play into Real’s hands, telling when asked about welcoming another World Cup winner to Spain: “Convinced, no, but it is a destiny for him, for sure. I think he will be in La Liga next season at 70 or 80 per cent.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Blancos president Perez is famed for his Galacticos recruitment policy – having signed the likes of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past – and Tebas added on why Mbappe is likely to end up at Santiago Bernabeu when discussing future transfers and the contentious European Super League plans that Real have played a prominent part in: “Florentino never loses, he doesn’t lose at anything.”

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Mbappe has admitted in the past that Real would be a dream club for him and he has already made history at PSG – becoming the club’s all-time leading goalscorer – to suggest that a new challenge will be sought at some stage in the near future.
