Man City ready to test Real Madrid over Kylian Mbappé transfer

Manchester City are closely monitoring Kylian Mbappé’s situation at Real Madrid as Pep Guardiola dreams of pairing the French superstar with Erling Haaland.

Kylian Mbappé’s future is already making headlines across Europe. Just two years after arriving at Real Madrid as the club’s new superstar, the French forward is now facing growing scrutiny in Spain — and Manchester City are watching closely.

Tension growing around Mbappé at Real Madrid

Mbappé was expected to return for the latest Clasico against Barcelona, but a late physical issue forced him to miss the game. While his talent remains unquestioned, reports in Spain suggest concerns inside the club are starting to emerge.

According to Fichajes, some figures within the Real Madrid hierarchy are unhappy with the striker’s defensive work rate and overall commitment off the ball. Club president Florentino Pérez is reportedly demanding total dedication from every player wearing the famous white shirt.

As a result, speculation around Mbappé’s long-term future at the Bernabéu has started to grow.

Manchester City dreaming of Mbappé and Haaland partnership

If the situation worsens, Manchester City could be ready to move. Pep Guardiola’s side are said to be monitoring developments carefully and would jump at the chance to sign the France captain.

The Premier League champions reportedly dream of creating a devastating attacking partnership between Mbappé and Erling Haaland — potentially one of the most feared duos in world football.

Mbappé’s pace combined with Haaland’s finishing ability could give City an unstoppable edge both domestically and in the Champions League.
