According to a recent report, Manchester City is reportedly relieved that Kylian Mbappe is likely to join Real Madrid this summer. The French superstar has been a long-standing target for City, with reports suggesting they even made a bid for him when he was still developing at Monaco. However, the bid was rejected at that time.

With Mbappe set to leave PSG in the summer, top clubs in Europe have been put on alert as he decides on his next destination. City has been linked with Mbappe in recent years as his relationship with PSG deteriorated, but no concrete talks between the two clubs have materialized.

Now, all signs point to Mbappe making a move to Real Madrid this summer, despite turning down the LaLiga outfit last year. This news has reportedly pleased City, as it could mean that Erling Haaland will not be leaving this summer. Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, has been the subject of speculation regarding a potential move to Real Madrid in the future.

There is said to be a release clause in Haaland’s contract at City, but negotiations are ongoing to increase that fee. Despite these transfer speculations, City remains focused on defending their three titles from last season’s historic Treble success. They are currently in pole position to defend their titles and will face Premier League leaders Liverpool this weekend in a crucial match that could see them overtake their rivals at the top of the table with 10 games remaining.
