Despite all the talk about Kylian Mbappe eyeing a move to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain isn’t giving up on their star player just yet. It seems Mbappe hasn’t officially told PSG’s CEO about his decision, indicating there’s still a battle brewing over his future, with a lot at stake for both sides.
Mbappe reportedly has some hefty demands for Real Madrid, including a yearly salary of €50 million, a whopping signing bonus of €125 million, and a cut of his image rights. But Real Madrid isn’t exactly on board with those figures. They’re proposing a deal more in line with what they pay other players, like Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Junior, which means Mbappe would have to lower his financial expectations significantly.
PSG’s Stand and Mbappe’s Contract Talks
According to reports, if Mbappe doesn’t get a contract that’s bigger than what his teammates are getting at PSG, he might just turn down Real Madrid’s offer for the fourth time. And it’s not like PSG isn’t putting up a fight. They’ve apparently tabled an offer for Mbappe that outshines what Real Madrid has on the table, totaling a whopping €160 million over two years.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid, led by their president Florentino Perez, wants Mbappe to show that he really wants to join the club by being willing to take a hit financially. Despite some past issues with Mbappe’s behavior back in 2022, Perez is willing to overlook them, but he expects Mbappe to play by their rules this time around, setting the terms and timeline for the deal as a sort of apology for previous letdowns.
The Rollercoaster Ride of Mbappe’s Future
The whole drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid keeps everyone on their toes. With negotiations ongoing, it seems like those not directly involved with Mbappe’s decisions might be in for a wild ride as the football superstar weighs his options amidst competing offers and expectations.
