Real Madrid are playing chicken with Paris Saint-Germain on the world stage. The two clubs are waiting to see who caves first: PSG, who want to get at least some money from the departure of Kylian Mbappe, or Madrid, who are in serious need of a goalscoring '9'.
The situation remains balanced on a knife edge, and 'Los Blancos' are aware that there is every posibility that in the end it won't come out in their favour. According to 'Cadena SER', Madrid are lining up an emergency option for up front, should they reach the end of the summer in a deadlock with the French champions.
The Spanish outlet reports that the 'Merengues' have Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic on their radar, as the Serbian is keen to play in the Champions League. Juve, after point penalties last season and a UEFA sanction this summer over their economic affairs, have been banned from European tournaments in the coming season.
Their '9' is also a target for Premier League side Chelsea, who after a dismal campaign last season need some fire power up front, but either way, the 'Bianconeri' could benefit from getting the expensive player off their books. The Blues are reportedly interested in a swap deal, as they are still trying to offload Romelu Lukaku, after a return to Inter Milan for the Belgian fell through.
