Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are both competing to sign Kylian Mbappé. Fans of these clubs should prepare themselves for this ongoing rivalry. Real Madrid is confident in its ability to challenge PSG for top football talent.
Furthermore, it’s reported that Los Blancos don’t consider FC Barcelona a rival in the transfer market. They used PSG to indirectly criticize their Spanish counterparts.
According to Relevo, Real Madrid no longer considers Barcelona a significant rival in the transfer market. They now see Manchester City, Bayern Munich, or PSG as more formidable competitors.
“Leave them; they have enough,” an anonymous club chief told the outlet.

PSG and Real Madrid will likely win the Mbappé saga whenever the Frenchman decides on his future. Whatever the decision is, a move to the Spanish capital will see the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner take a pay cut.
A recent report revealed that Los Blancos offers less than it was previously willing to pay. The club hesitates to propose a significantly higher salary than established players like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham earn, which is reportedly around €10.5 million net per season.
