Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has given an update on the future of Kylian Mbappe, who is set to move to Liverpool or Real Madrid this summer. Luis Enrique says Paris Saint-Germain are still waiting for an update on the future of Kylian Mbappe, whose contract expires in a few months.
The French superstar is yet to extend his contract with PSG and could become a free agent in the summer, depending on the situation. Real Madrid have long been fans of Mbappe and failed to sign him a year ago, but Liverpool continue to monitor the situation, according to Le Parisien.
United signed the 25-year-old during his time at Monaco and are said to be interested in his services.Spanish outlet AS reported earlier this week that Mbappe would make a decision “soon” and it could be made public later this month. But Enrique insists he is none the wiser about the starman’s plans beyond this season.
Each time this happened, he seemed to get more and more irritated.At a press conference on Thursday, the final day of the transfer window, Mbappe was asked if he had been informed of his decision. Enrique added: “No, Kylian hasn’t told me anything so far.
“The striker has been lethal this season, scoring 28 goals in just 27 appearances for PSG, who are six points clear at the top of Ligue 1. He could be available on a free transfer, but any deal for Mbappe is likely to have a cost. About salaries and registration costs. The Telegraph reported last month that he was eyeing a pay rise at his next club, PSG, with his salary after tax expected to be around $82m (£64.5m/€75m) .
That’s $1.6 million a week and means Liverpool are completely dismantling their wage structure. He previously spoke about his relationship with Liverpool in an interview with The Telegraph in 2022: “We’ve spoken a bit but not much. The reason I spoke to Liverpool is because it’s my mum’s favorite club and she loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, but I guess I’ll have to ask him.
It’s a good club and I met it 5 years ago. I met them when I was in Monaco. “It’s a big club.
The Mbappe saga could soon be over, with the France star expected to announce his plans in the coming weeks. There is no doubt that Real Madrid will remain in pole position if they leave PSG, but the possibility of them staying in their current position is not completely out of the question. With Jurgen Klopp leaving, this summer will be one of transition at Anfield. Unless the next manager is tempted by a high-profile move, he is unlikely to spend big on a new player beyond the money needed to bring in Mbappe.
