Mbappe is nervous about competing with Osimhen for a spot at Real Madrid next season

Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid have been a novelty at this point because a deal always seems close and, at the same time, seems so far. It is no surprise that Real Madrid desire to have Mbappe on their team since he is arguably the best player in the world. Mbappe joining Real Madrid would benefit the Spanish giants because of his talent and popularity. Mbappe would fit the team, which currently misses a vital number 9 in their squad after the departure of Karim Benzema.

Although Mbappe has been a priority for Real Madrid for the past five to six years, Los Blancos is looking to possibly move on to other options. The reasons for this would be impatience, lack of commitment, and being on the lookout for cheaper options. Kylian Mbappe is on the radar again because he can become a free agent this year if he decides not to renew his contract with PSG. Both clubs could not agree upon the transfer fee for the player's transfer, and this summer could be a great opportunity for Madrid to capitalize.

Although Mbappe is very desirable to the Spanish giants, they are also willing to look at other world-class strikers for a lower price. According to Mundo Deportivo, reports have shown that Real Madrid has Victor Osimhen from Napoli in their sights. Even though the striker signed a new contract with the Scudetto holders, the optimism to sign the Nigerien increases because of possibly moving away from Mbappe.

Osimhen has suffered injuries this season but has seven goals and two assists in 13 games in the Serie A. Last season, he scored 26 goals and provided four assists in the Seria A. Some Real Madrid fans believe Osimhen can fit the Madrid team better than Mbappe. Mbappe can play as a striker, but his preferred position is on the left wing. Osimhen is a pure striker and can allow Vinicius and Rodrygo to stay in the wings.

Another great pro of signing Osimhen than Mbappe for Real Madrid is the price to bring him to the Bernabeu. Victor Osimhen`s new contract with Napoli, which expires in 2026, includes a salary of 10 million euros a season. Kylian Mbappe`s salary is reported to be around 72 million euros, and PSG is willing to offer higher wages plus bonuses to stay in the French capital.

Real Madrid continues looking at their options and has a tough choice in the upcoming summer transfer window. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will look to spend big on a world-class striker for his team. The rumors will continue as the summer transfer window approaches in six months.
