Manchester City will be the strongest team if they manage to get Mbappe because the quality that Mbappe has will encourage them to become a team that has goal-hungry front players. However, Manchester City efforts to get Mbappe are certainly not easy because Real Madrid will be at the forefront of getting Mbappe. But everything could change if Mbappe is more interested in playing in the Premier League then Manchester City or Liverpool will be his goal.
It would be great to watch Mbappe at Manchester City. I'm sure every Manchester City fan would want that. But we know that Mbappe had some problems before when he was in the same team with Neymar and Messi. He might have similar problems playing with Haaland. There are younger players at Real Madrid, so he can gain respect from them. And we can see him as a dominant character at Real Madrid. But when he plays with Haaland he might not be the dominant character. I think he will be more successful at Real Madrid.
It's an impossible scenario. Please look into Manchester City's case which is having issues with FFP breaches. It would be ridiculous if City signed Mbappe because he demands excessive signing fees from the club that successfully recruits him as a new player which is impossible to happen with city and mbappe. The better for city to complete its problems rather than thinking about how to recruit mbappe.
The city's problem with financial fair play has not yet been resolved, so how can we predict whether the city will be able to sign the mbappe here? it's totally a non sense thing to be talked. I would prefer that City keep playing with their current wingers because they are good since the early season. Grealish and Doku were very capable of playing on City and the club doesn't need a new winger again to play in the club and the better to use the available talents.
The club does not need someone like Mbappe, and Pep was obviously aware of this. This is why the city was rarely connected with the mbappe even when many big teams massively linked with mbappe's movements, as the team had no interest in recruiting him as a new player. It's that simple.
Pep is a coach who prioritizes efficiency over everything. It does not make sense for him to spend so much money on an expensive player like him. Allow the city to be done with its FFP breach problem.
