PSG Eye Endrick in Bold Response to Mbappe’s Real Madrid Move, Alaba Could Also Exit

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly planning a bold move to counter Real Madrid’s capture of Kylian Mbappe by targeting one of Los Blancos’ rising stars—Brazilian forward Endrick. According to Real Madrid Confidencial, the French giants are willing to present the 18-year-old with a lucrative offer that could significantly increase his current salary and guarantee him a regular starting role—something he’s unlikely to receive in Madrid’s crowded attacking lineup.

Endrick, who joined Real Madrid from Palmeiras in a €47.5 million transfer last summer, has found first-team opportunities limited. With only around 700 minutes of action and one La Liga goal to his name, his growth has been overshadowed by the arrival of Mbappe, whose high-profile free transfer to Madrid has shaken the football world.

PSG now hope to capitalize on the teenager’s limited playing time under Carlo Ancelotti. Reports suggest the club is prepared to offer Endrick both financial incentives and a central role in the team—conditions unlikely to be matched at Madrid, where fierce competition for forward spots will only intensify with Mbappe’s presence.

While the exact transfer fee PSG would offer hasn’t been disclosed, the interest appears serious. Endrick is under contract with Madrid until 2030 and has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €46.8 million. It remains to be seen who PSG would offload to make room for him, with names like Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue among their current attacking options.

Meanwhile, The Athletic reports that Real Madrid are also considering parting ways with veteran defender David Alaba. The 32-year-old Austrian has battled injuries and inconsistent form since joining from Bayern Munich on a free transfer in 2023. With just a year left on his contract, Alaba is viewed as a potential financial burden, and the club may look to move him on during the summer window as they aim to revamp their squad and reduce wage costs.

While Endrick’s immediate departure is still unlikely, PSG’s interest highlights how the Mbappe transfer may spark a new wave of rivalry between the two European powerhouses. Alaba, however, could be on his way out as part of Madrid’s efforts to reshape their squad.
