Real Madrid are becoming increasingly confident that they will sign Kylian Mbappe from PSG with the Parisians identifying Everton’s Richarlison as his replacement.
According to Sky Sports, should Paris Saint-Germain sell Mbappe, the Ligue 1 giants will try to sign Brazilian forward Richarlison, whose contract at Goodison Park expires in 2024.
PSG initially turned down Real’s opening offer of £137m for the World Cup winner on Wednesday. However, more positive talks have been held with the La Liga outfit countering with a £145.6m offer as the deal is believed to be moving in the right direction.
Even if this latest bid is rejected by PSG, it’s expected that Mbappe will make the move to the Bernabeu next summer as a free agent as it’s no secret that he wants to play for Real.
