Real Madrid plotting triple Bosman move next summer
Real Madrid are plotting three Bosman moves next summer, according to The Daily Star.
Los Blancos remain eager to bolster their squad next year. The La Liga giants have already identified three players they want to sign for free at the end of the season. Top of their wish list is Kylian Mbappe, who could arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu for free. The PSG star is in the final year of his current contract.
The Ligue 1 giants are desperate to extend Mbappe's stay at the Parc des Princes. However, Mbappe, though, has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid. The arrival of the 22-year-old would bolster Carlo Ancelotti's attack. But Los Blancos are unlikely to stop at the Frenchman.
