Real Madrid's pursuit of Kylian Mbappe this summer has generated optimism within La Liga, as the Spanish top-flight currently lacks prominent star power.

Mbappe has communicated to Paris Saint-Germain that he will not be extending his contract beyond its expiration in 2024. As a result, Real Madrid has emerged as the frontrunners to secure the services of the 24-year-old forward.

According to Football Espana, La Liga views the potential signing of Mbappe as crucial in demonstrating that Real Madrid remains an attractive destination, despite the financial might and allure of the Premier League.

The Spanish topflight is losing star power with the departure of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid another blow, after losses of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar in the past.

La Liga only have two of the top 10 most-followed players that attended the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the league hopes the arrival of Mbappe will increase the league's popularity again worldwide.

Madrid to table Mbappe bid

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are ready to bid for Kylian Mbappe this summer rather than waiting to sign him as a free agent when his Paris Saint-Germain contract expires, ESPN reports.

Mbappe has informed PSG that he would not be exercising his option to extend his deal by another year, meaning his contract with the Parisians would be up in June 2024.

PSG would be willing to listen to offers of around €150 million for Mbappe this summer to avoid losing the 2022 World Cup Golden Ball winner for free a year later.

Mbappe's current contract with the Ligue 1 champions is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, with a potential extension for an additional year.

However, the Frenchman communicated to PSG via a letter that he unequivocally rejects the prospect of activating the contract's extension clause for an additional year, regardless of the circumstances.
