The future of striker Kylian Mbappe has been in limbo for some time now. Real Madrid plans to land the French international in 2021. Mbappe has not yet signed a new contract with the PSG and even if he does, it is reported that he is lobbying for a clause allowing him to move to Madrid for 250 million euros.
AS reports that the potential move of Mbappe to Madrid could be complicated by the fact that PSG has promised the new boss Pochettino that he will stay.
The 22-year-old did not get along well with Tuchel so he could find a new life in Pochettino, forcing Madrid to consider other options…. Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, for example.

Atletico wants Maitland-Niles
Atletico Madrid hopes to sign Ainslie Maitland-Niles, a graduate of the Arsenal academy, for the Daily Mail.
The English international would have been interested already, but the 10-week suspension of Kieran Trippier has made it a priority.
It is not known if Arsenal will let the 23-year-old go, but Maitland-Niles would be more and more frustrated by the lack of playing time he receives from Mikel Arteta.
Despite Wolverhampton Wanderers’ interest in the summer season, the Gunners have retained the versatile defender/midfielder, but are strengthening their interest in Atletico.

The leaders of Atletico Liga are also interested in using the loan market to bring in Marcos Alonso, reports El Chiringuito.
