Mbappe 'emerges as leading Real Madrid target'

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe is reportedly Real Madrid's leading transfer target ahead of this summer.

Mbappe's teammate Neymar has long been linked with a move to the Bernabeu, but Zinedine Zidane's return to Los Blancos as head coach has reportedly seen the club drop their interest in the Brazil international.

According to Don Balon, Madrid are still keen to raid PSG this summer, but Mbappe is the Spanish outfit's main transfer target rather than Neymar.

Zidane recently revealed that he "would love to coach" Mbappe, who has scored 31 times in 35 appearances for his French club during the 2018-19 campaign.

Juventus are believed to be preparing a summer bid, although the attacker has recently insisted that he will not be leaving PSG at the end of the season.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen and Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi are also among those to be linked with moves to Madrid ahead of this summer's transfer window.
