Real Madrid president Florentino Perez refused to deny the club s interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe this summer, but told fans to remain calm.
The Spanish giants have made no secret about their desire to bolster the squad this summer and have been linked with moves for the likes of Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland.
Perez admits that Real does need to change and evolve having fallen behind Atletico Madrid in the La Liga this campaign. The Paris Saint-Germain forward remains their top priority owing to his eye-catching performances in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

Well, we can hardly say it was a surprise. Despite reaching the Champions League final just four months ago, Paris Saint-Germain have parted ways with Thomas Tuchel after an underwhelming start to the 2020/21 campaign.
The German boss departure comes just days before the January transfer window, which begs the question: how will this impact their transfer strategy?
Far gone are the days where a manager had complete control of the incomings and outgoings at a club, so the plans will already be laid, though the new man will undoubtedly bring with him his own ideas.
