    The Mbappe transfer saga has reportedly led to an internal war at Real Madrid as some of their board members are voicing their opinion against signing the forward. The mercurial Frenchman, who has been linked with a move to the Spanish giants for a long time now, has entered the final six months of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain and is now open to hold transfer talks with clubs outside France.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to Football Transfers, some of the senior board members of Los Blancos believe that Napoli talisman Osimhen is more suited to the club's style of play. It has to be noted that the Nigerian forward's current release clause is €130m (£113m/$144m) after he signed a new Napoli contract last month.

    Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the 25-year-old, although if an offer arrives from Los Blancos, he may opt to move to Spain next season.
