Real Madrid have been pushing to sign Mbappe since his Monaco days.

The La Liga giants came close to sealing a deal in 2022, but the 25-year-old penned a new two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain instead.

Both players will be able to provide five-star service to Mbappe in attack.

And with Thibaut Courtois set to return from an ACL injury ahead of the 2024-25 season, Los Blancos will still be defensively solid.

David Alaba, who joined the club in 2021, is also set to return from his ACL injury in time for the new season.
