French giants PSG have been handed another huge blow as it has been revealed that another key player is pushing to sign for Real Madrid alongside Kylian Mbappe.
Reports emerged this month stating that Kylian Mbappe had finally made the decision to leave PSG in a transfer saga that has felt like it has dragged on for years now.
Whilst the French forward's next club is yet to be confirmed, it has been widely reported that he will be joining Spanish giants Real Madrid despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal.
PSG have already seen Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr leave the club in the last year, as their long-term project looks at risk of falling apart and it could be about to get worse for the Ligue 1 side.

A report from the Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo claims that Real Madrid are interested in Achraf Hakimi.
Despite being at Madrid for over 15 years, Hakimi never fully broke his way into the starting eleven and found more success on loan at Borussia Dortmund where he spent two seasons.
The former full-back for Real Madrid has earned over 100 appearances in all competitions for PSG, scoring 13 goals and providing 17 assists as he has become one of the most highly rated full-backs in the world.
However, recent reports suggest that Hakimi is eager to embark on a new journey. Real Madrid, the player's former club, has taken notice of this development.
Real Madrid's apparent interest in their former man makes total sense, as the leaders of La Liga, they boast a top-tier team, but the right-back position is likely the next one to be future-proofed with long-serving Dani Carvajal now 32.
The seemingly confirmed departure of Kylian Mbappe from PSG to Real Madrid would undoubtedly influence Hakimi's decision to leave the French capital and join his close friend in the Spanish capital.
