The French star also received an offer from PSG but has yet to sign. Mbappe has yet to make a public decision about his future. He previously stated last summer that he would not agree to an extension to his current contract, which angered the PSG board. However, PSG appear relieved now that Mbappe will not receive the bonus payment expected to be in the tens of millions of dollars he was theoretically entitled to after staying out in the previous transfer window.
When he was caught offside, he refused the advance payment and said he had agreed to cancel everything if he continued his contract. He will soon become a free agent (FA) and will be able to talk to overseas clubs and sign pre-contracts, so he is expected to receive a high salary and transfer fee. The Telegraph reported that Mbappe wants a weekly salary of between $82m (£65m/€75m) and $1.6m (£1.25m/€1.4m ). Only a few clubs can afford that, and even Madrid might have to sell a few players to do so. Mbappe’s salary is four times that of Mohamed Salah, so Liverpool can be left out of the equation. Everyone knows Liverpool haven’t dug deep into their pockets like their Premier League rivals. If a Premier League club were to make such an expensive move for Mbappe, they would risk breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules if they did not sell another big player.
Mbappe’s team said in a statement on Monday: “Nothing has been agreed on Kylian’s future and, in particular, talks have not started. No form of influence can dictate the timing of Kylian’s discussions, thoughts or decisions.””I want Kylian Mbappe to stay at PSG,” PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said this week. He is the best player in the world and the best club for him is PSG. “He is the heart of our project.
Liverpool currently appear to be one of the few Premier League clubs without any real FFP issues, but in reality any team hoping to sign Mbappe will have to be very careful to stay within the rules. Clear requirements attract attention.But in reality, FFP is Liverpool’s biggest concern when it comes to completing ‘free’ transfers. After all, spending that much money on a player’s salary would never happen even if it were allowed. After years of elite service and extensive negotiations, Salah has agreed a massive new contract for 2022, which is three times less than Mbappe wanted.
The idea of signing Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer this summer has attracted interest from many of Europe’s top clubs. However, the actual cost can be determined by including salary and compensation. Liverpool are interested in Mbappe, along with other clubs (via Le Parisien and others), but Real Madrid are favourites.
