Kylian Mbappe demanding a package worth £206 million from his next club if he decides to leaves PSG this summer: Reports
Kylian Mbappe has decided not to stay at PSG beyond 2024.
Paris Saint Germain and France forward Kylian Mbappe reportedly asked £206m if he is to join any club this summer. Mbappe is the hottest prospect in the game right now and he will go for free next season if Paris Saint Germain do not sell him in this transfer window.
Mbappelast season scored 41 goals in 43 games for PSG. The striker also scored 13 more goals for the France national team last year. The World Cup 2018 winner is in a cold tussle with PSG higher-ups regarding his contract. The player was asked to sign a mammoth contract last season to make him stay for two more years to help the team win the Champions League. However, Mbappe was also given the authority to choose whether he wants to resign after the deal or not. The Frenchman has communicated that he does not want to sign another contract with PSG. In that case, the club can either buy Mbappe this season or he can go for free the next summer.
The forward released a statement in which he pointed to PSG’s ‘shortcomings’ as a major factor behind his decision. Mbappe has reportedly been linked to a number of clubs, including Real Madrid. Mbappe snubbed the Spanish Giants last summer.
According to Marca, Mbappe’s mother and agent Fayza Lamari would ask for a package worth £206m from any club for the services of her son. Real Madrid has reportedly planned to approach him as a free agent next summer. With no transfer money to be paid, Florentino Perez would not mind committing to the deal with the player if need be.
With not many options left, and the huge financial considerations, this means that despite Karim Benzema’s departure, Carlo Ancelotti’s side won’t bring in another striker currently. Although they have brought Joselu on a loan deal for the upcoming season.
