Real Madrid may be forced to sell key players to fund the signing of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe this summer.
According to international media, Real Madrid have made an agreement to sign Mbappe on a free transfer in 2024 but their plans could change in the next few weeks. Mbappe’s unwillingness to extend his contract in Paris has created friction at the club with a growing possibility of a summer departure.
The France captain has a contract until 2024 at the Parc des Princes but an extension until 2025 must be activated by the end of July.
If Mbappe fails to meet the deadline, PSG could sell him, as part of a €200 million deal. According to a report from the Daily Express, Real Madrid are prepared to change their strategy to make a move for Mbappe, but it will require Los Blancos to sell its expensive stars.
According to Football Espana, Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni can both be put up for sale to give Real more money to buy Mbappe, in the context of the Premier League’s interest in the duo, with a midfield pair worth £85 million each.

For Valverde, the Uruguayan is an indispensable element in Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical scheme, but the drop in form last season has been accompanied by great interest from Liverpool, the 24-year-old midfielder. likely to dock at The Kop in the near future.
Meanwhile, Tchouameni has been a target of Arsenal’s pursuit over the past few months. The French player has had no place in the main squad of the White Vultures since the 2022 World Cup.
