Everyone but Real Madrid seems out of the race to sign PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, but Juventus still have a chance.
Kylian Mbappe has been on fire to start the 2020-2021 Ligue 1 season for PSG. Targeted by Real Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, and other big clubs, Mbappe would be the most sought-after player on the transfer market in the summer of 2021 if he becomes available with a year left on his current contract.
PSG will continue to do whatever they can to keep Mbappe, offering the French forward lucrative extension offers. But Zinedine Zidane’s Real loom as a team that could very well sign the world-class No. 7.
However, Juventus aren’t out of the running to sign Kylian Mbappe. Le Parisien named Juve as one of the teams that will try to sign the player next summer, via JuveFC.com.
The 21-year-old attacker has scored four goals with three assists in four Ligue 1 appearances so far this season. He isn’t just a world-class goal-scorer, but he’s also a world-class chance-creator from the forward position. And Mbappe can play any of those three positions in a front three.
Kylian Mbappe would be a dream signing for Juventus
Juventus currently have Mbappe’s idol, Cristiano Ronaldo, which could help the Bianconeri’s case. They also have Paulo Dybala, whom they are still working with on a contract extension. But if Juve sign Mbappe against the odds, how would they afford to pay all of Dybala, Ronaldo, and Mbappe? That would be the next question for the Black and Whites to answer.
Mbappe is the most valuable player in the world. Any chance the Bianconeri have of signing him is a chance they must take. Though it must be said that, again, Real Madrid are the much higher favorites to sign the young superstar from PSG.
Mbappe and Erling Haaland are two dream forward targets for any big club, and Juventus would be wise to do whatever they can to pursue one of them in the next two summer transfer windows.
