PSG superstars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are both not sure whether they’ll continue in France in 2019/20 amid interest from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s transfer hopes only went on to be boosted after Kylian Mbappe stated in a recent Ligue 1 award ceremony that his future at Paris Saint-Germain is unassured and this summer could represent a turning point in his career. The Whites have always liked the France international and are keen on a move for him even during this summer.

More from Real Madrid

Neymar has also been on their radar for a long time now and Florentino Perez has been fairly open about his goal of wanting to get both the Paris Saint-Germain superstars. However, rationally speaking it is only possible that the 13 time European champions sign one of them and Neymar’s move to Spain is a lot likelier to happen than Mbappe’s.

The Parisians are unhappy with the former Barcelona forward’s off-field conduct and will be considering offers for him, according to Fox Sports. Neymar’s agent, his father, has informed Real Madrid that they will have to pay 250 million euros for the left winger in addition to a 62.5 million euros’ agent fee which will go to the player’s representative.

Los Blancos are willing to break the bank in signing the star forward but they are still waiting to see how the situation with Kylian Mbappe pans out. Zinedine Zidane personally prefers to move for the 20-year-old because of their same nationality and also because of his disciplined behaviour. So if Mbappe forces a move by any chance, then Madrid will eye him over Neymar.

For the time being, it looks like the Real Madrid officers are focussed on signing Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic from Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively. Florentino Perez will spend close to 150 or 200 million euros on signing the attacking duo, but there will also be some sales that will help the club in maintaining cash at equilibrium.

Between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who would be the better player suited for Zinedine Zidane’s style of play?
