On Monday, Barcelona is scheduled to meet with representatives from Paris Saint-Germain to discuss the potential transfer of star forward Kylian Mbappe.
Since the Frenchman refused to extend his contract past 2024, his future has been a hotly debated subject this summer.
This summer, PSG tried to get rid of him or get him to sign a new contract, but the Frenchman refused both offers and wanted to depart for free in 2024.
As a result, Mbappe dropped from PSG's preseason tour and is now formally on the club's transfer list for this summer.
With longtime admiration of Real Madrid still very much in the open, Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal are rumored to have offered a world-record €300 million fee to sign the World Cup winner.
But according to L'Equipe, Barcelona are now prepared to enter the race for the PSG star. It is said that they would be willing to put the names of several players on the table because they lack enough money for paying him a cash sum up front.
