Spanish giants may nab at least one of world's two most costly aces as Uefa probe PSG and Man City on financial fair play

Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have helped PSG to a record start for the major European top-flights, with 13 straight victories

REAL MADRID are hovering over Neymar and Kylian Mbappe as PSG face being kicked out of the Champions League if found to have cheated Uefa's financial fair play rules.

Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City can expect tough penalties should they be found guilty after a new investigation into dodging limits on transfer spending.

And say Qatar-back French champions PSG might have to sell at least one of the world's two costliest players if the case is proven.

Real were rebuffed over £198million ex-Barcelona striker Neymar, 26, in the summer.

And World Cup winner Mbbappe, 19, chose PSG ahead of Real when the Parisian left Monaco for around £156m last year.

Real are looking for a huge boost after sacking Julen Lopetegui after a 5-1 mauling at Barca and giving interim boss Santiago Solari the permanent job following four straight wins.

And they still sit just sixth in La Liga, despite winning the Champions League for the past three seasons.

So a mega-star recruit would help Argentinian Solari transform the mood further.

Neymar and Mbappe are many people's tips to succeed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the top two players in the world.

And Real might think their global reputation demands a new icon after Ronaldo left for Juventus in the last transfer window.

AS suggest Brazil skipper Neymar is not only Real's dream recruit but also a more achievable target than France frontman Mbappe.

PSG owner Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani is initially thought to have regarded Neymar as his must-keep star.

But local hero Mbappe has tipped the balance with his form this term, including 13 goals and six assists in all competitions as PSG opened Ligue 1 with a record 13 straight wins.

Certainly, though, there would be an outcry amongst fans if either was sold, especially as they have arguably become the world's most fearsome threesome in attack alongside club record scorer Edinson Cavani.
