Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid and a move this summer is pretty certain. Zinedine Zidane has expressed the need of a goal scoring forward that his team requires which considering the age of Mbappe is best at their disposal.
Thomas Tuchel has jotted down Riyad Mahrez as a potential replacement because of his agility and the knack of scoring/assisting goals. In the 37 games that he has played under Guardiola, he has scored 9 while assisting 14 other.
Mahrez has his contract with City until June 2023. However, City’s Champions League ban of two years will want the forward to consider a move away from a club with rich Champions League experience.
