According to L'Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain are willing to give the captaincy to Kylian Mbappe in order to keep him. The France international is set to leave as a free agent in the summer.

The former AS Monaco player has scored 15 goals and added 10 assists in 26 appearances this season. His two-legged appearance against Real Madrid in the European Championship was the best performance of his career.

Los Blancos are looking to strengthen their forward line for the future, and they are heavily linked with Kylian Mbappe. His ability to speak Spanish has added fuel to the fire of a potential move to the Bernabeu.

If he stayed, he would take over the captaincy from Marquinhos. The changing of captaincy would be a show of faith in the No. 7 and a last attempt to keep him in Paris.

According to a report by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are going to begin talks with Ronald Araujo and Ousmane Dembele over new contracts. Dembele is set to leave the club in the summer, but he could stay given his recent form. Araujo's contract is running out and he has been linked with a move to the premier league.

According to the report, Real Madrid will allow a number of players to leave in the summer to free up space in their squad. The report suggests that Luka Jovic, Jesus Vallejo, Mariano, and Brahim Diaz are all free to leave the club at the end of the season, with the other four on loan with other clubs.

According to Sport, Barcelona have held talks with Antonio Rudiger over signing him as a free agent. The international is said to want seven million dollars a year to join the club. A number of clubs have been linked with the 29-year-old, who could join up with his teammate, who is also rumored to join the Catalan club.

According to Football Insider, the on-loan winger will not be joining the club this summer. He joined the Toffees on January's transfer deadline day, but has only made two appearances since.
