Real Madrid have always wanted to bring in world-class defenders to fill the gap between Ramos and Varane. The Galacticos set their sights on Ligue 1 giants Paris, hoping to poach Messi's teammate Kim Pembe. But at the same time, Chelsea are also eyeing the World Cup winner, and the Champions League champion is ready to grab people halfway!
Kimpembe became famous at a young age and rose to prominence in Greater Paris very early. At the 2018 World Cup, Kimpembe lifted the Hercules Cup with France when he was only 23 years old. Kimpembe then became an indispensable absolute main force in the Paris defence and was also seen as a new generation of world-class defenders. Kimpembe's contract with Paris Grande expires in the summer of 2024, while he currently earns €9 million a year. At present, Paris has begun negotiations to renew the contract, but Kimpembe wants to ask for a high salary. If the salary issue is not discussed, he may announce his departure from the team.
Real Madrid are very interested in Kimpembe, and after ramos and Varane left the team, Arabba joined and Militang to form a center-back partnership, but apart from these two, Real Madrid did not have a third reassuring center-back. Nacho, Vallejo, and others were unable to meet Ancelotti's requirements, so the introduction of a top-level iron gate became necessary. Originally, Real Madrid's target was Rudiger, but it was difficult to attract reinforcements, so Kimpembe became a new target for pursuit.
In addition to Real Madrid, Chelsea also want Kimpembe. This summer, the contracts of Azpilicueta, Christensen and Rudiger will expire, Thiago Silva is also older, and Chelsea's defence is facing a complete renewal. It is reported that Rudiger may join Paris on his own, and if so, perhaps the latter will be a smooth man to sell Kimpembe to Chelsea. More notably, Chelsea manager Tuchel is the former manager of Paris, which makes it possible for them to beat Real Madrid in the competition.
The Transfer Market currently values Kimpembe at €40 million, and if the renewal fails, Greater Paris will certainly want to be able to sell for a good price. If Real Madrid wants to get Kimpembe, first of all, it must give a transfer fee of at least 50 million euros, and secondly, Kimpembe's annual salary is at least 10 million euros or more, which will be a big expense. Will Messi say goodbye to this teammate this summer? Let's wait and see.
