And the story of the day goes to Kylian Mbappe. He is another player who has been linked with the Galacticos for a long time now but it seems like he won’t be joining this summer.

According to the player himself, he is set to stay at PSG but has revealed that he is happy for the Blancos as Zinedine Zidane is back and will be watching their games as a fan.

"I'm staying at PSG. I'm fully involved in PSG's project," Mbappe said. "I'm happy for Real Madrid that [Zinedine Zidane] has come back. I'll watch their games as an admirer,” he said.

Meanwhile, according to reports, Mbappe doesn’t plan to go to the Santiago Bernabeu and instead wants to join Barcelona in 2020 as a potential successor to Lionel Messi.

The report adds that the deal could cost Barcelona a whopping €300 million.
