Real Madrid 'suffer blow in Kylian Mbappe pursuit'

Real Madrid's chances of signing Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe reportedly take a huge hit.

Real Madrid's chances of signing Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe have reportedly taken a huge hit following Thomas Tuchel's departure from the French champions.

Tuchel was relieved of his duties on Thursday, and former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to become the Ligue 1 club's new head coach.

According to AS, Tuchel's departure means that Mbappe, who had a difficult relationship with the 47-year-old, is now more likely to pen a new deal in the French capital, potentially scuppering Madrid's chances of signing him.

As it stands, the France international's contract is due to expire in June 2022, and Los Blancos were allegedly confident of signing him for a fee in the region of £160m next summer.

However, the report claims that the World Cup winner's asking price would jump to at least £225m if he were to extend his contract in the French capital.

Mbappe has again been in excellent form for PSG during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 14 times and providing eight assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.
