PSG are prepared to receive competing bids from Barcelona and Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe, according to reports.
Paris Saint-Germain has told Barcelona that they expect Real Madrid to make a bid for Kylian Mbappe next summer, according to Sport.
Barcelona and Madrid both held talks with PSG over the summer as they failed in their attempts to sign Neymar. During talks with the Catalan club, however, PSG made them aware that Madrid is hoping to land Mbappe, too.
Coach Zinedine Zidane has made Mbappe his top priority ahead of his PSG team-mate Neymar and Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
The news comes following talks between Real’s bitter rivals Barcelona and the Parisians regarding a move back to Camp Nou for Neymar, but it was the long-term future of Frenchman Mbappe that also became a key talking point.
During negotiations, the Ligue 1 champions warned the Catalan giants of Real’s intentions to launch talks over a deal for the 20-year-old.
Mbappe had a stunning season in front of the net last year for PSG, scoring better than a goal a game in the league, and he already has two goals in the current campaign.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona wanted to bring Juventus’ Federico Bernardeschi to the club this summer.
However, Juventus wanted €23m PLUS midfielder Ivan Rakitic and so the deal went nowhere. Tuttsport reports that Juve will try again for Rakitic in January.
