Real Madrid have long been linked with Liverpool as another option if Mbappe leaves France. A recent report claimed the former Monaco star “really, really likes” Liverpool, while another claimed Liverpool never lost touch with those around the striker, raising faint hopes of a bold move by summer. But the money involved in any transaction, even a “free” transfer, can be astronomical.
Real Madrid are prepared to offer him a salary of €30m a year and a hefty signing bonus of around €100m (£86m), with other reports suggesting that Mbappe expects that sum from his next club even higher. For context, Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s highest-paid player of all time, with a basic salary of around £18m before tax. Meanwhile, PSG have not yet given up hope of keeping hold of their star signing. Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently said he would like to keep Mbappe in the French capital: “I want to keep Mbappe. For me it is the best club in the world, for me Paris is the best club for Kylian”. “He is at the center of the project today. It’s normal to ask about it.
For me he is the best in the world and I have a very good relationship with him. “Not as a player, but as a person.”Meanwhile, according to Daniel Riolo of RMC Sports, Mbappe will be offered an “unmatched” contract worth €100 million a year if he extends his contract.
Riolo said: “On the one hand, there is an offer for players to expand the pyramids of ancient Rome, ancient Greece and Egypt. It is unprecedented and worth over €100 million per player. season.” It is something that no club can match. What PSG are offering Mbappe is amazing. “It will help my brothers, my family, everybody. A gamer agency my mom wants to start. To be honest, it’s a great thing. On the other hand, we have something. It means normal. If we talk about Real, it means normal. So the average annual salary of football stars is around 30 million euros. And maybe a little more. And he’s not the king of clubs. Simply put, we bring it back to Earth.”Mbappe is in the middle and has to choose one or the other.
Anfield Watch understands that while Liverpool and Mbappe have flirted for years, the Reds will only consider a move for the 2023 Ballon d’Or third-placed player if Salah leaves the club in the summer. But with the 31-year-old Egyptian ready to extend his contract despite interest from Saudi Arabia, competition for Mbappe is becoming increasingly unlikely with big-business finances out of reach.
Paris Saint-Germain are ready to offer Kylian Mbappe a shock wage to keep him at the club despite interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool.The 25-year-old superstar is currently entering the final six months of his PSG contract, so he could discuss terms with foreign suitors over a summer deal if he wants to.
