Kylian Mbappé’s potential move to Real Madrid is far from being finalized as a contract. According to The Independent, the player is also exploring options in the Premier League.
Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid or PSG… or elsewhere. The Independent reports that the player has not yet given his final approval to Real Madrid. The main point of contention appears to be the salary, with significant disparity between Mbappé’s demands and the offers from Real Madrid’s management.
Currently earning €72 million gross per year at PSG, Mbappé is reportedly seeking a salary higher than the €35 million per year that Real Madrid is willing to offer.
The English media outlet suggests that Mbappé is exploring negotiations with Liverpool and Arsenal. However, similar to Real Madrid, salary negotiations with these clubs are expected to be challenging. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are cautious about jeopardizing their wage structures and causing disruption in the dressing room.
“The best player in the world finds himself strangely limited in terms of options, much like Lionel Messi did at Barcelona,” The Independent remarks. Currently, PSG’s offer of €100 million per season appears to outstrip the competition.
The uncertainty surrounding Mbappé’s future continues as negotiations unfold, with various clubs vying for his signature amidst salary considerations.
