It has been reported that Kylian Mbappe could reject a move to Real Madrid if PSG end up signing Bernardo Silva next summer.
This comes from Le 10 Sport, as the £43 million (BBC Sport) man continues to get linked with a transfer to the French capital.
Now, it seems like whether PSG wrap up a deal for Bernardo Silva or not could decide whether Kylian Mbappe finally becomes a Real Madrid player.
Kylian Mbappe could snub Real Madrid transfer if PSG sign Bernardo Silva
Branded as ‘unique’ by Pep Guardiola (via OneFootball), the Portuguese international shared a dressing room with the World Cup winner during their time at AS Monaco.
The 29-year-old, described as ‘smart’ by Kevin De Bruyne is contracted to City until 2026 and yet, his future remains a constant topic of speculation.
Now, it has been revealed that Kylian Mbappe could turn down a dream transfer to Real Madrid if it means that PSG secure the services of Bernardo Silva.
Luis Enrique’s side have a plan in place to trigger the diminutive attacker’s release clause, which is worth £50.3 million that is set to be activated in 2024.

One would not be surprised to discover that Bernardo Silva is keen on reuniting with the Real Madrid target at PSG.
Season after season, it has seemed like a bigger surprise that the treble-winner has ended up staying put at Manchester City.
If there really is a release clause in his contract, the Sky Blues have perhaps been preparing for his exit for a while now.
As a result, if the Ligue 1 winners splash the cash to trigger clause, the versatile midfielder could finally be allowed to leave the English giants.
However, there is no overstating the fact that Bernardo Silva’s potential exit could prove to be a hammer blow for Manchester City.
