WHAT HAPPENED?
The World Cup-winning forward is in the process of running down his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. If those terms are to come to a close in the summer of 2024, then Mbappe will hit free agency. A move to Spain for the 25-year-old France international has been speculated on for some time.
Real Madrid are ready to make Mbappe their next ‘Galactico’, but personal terms are proving difficult to agree. According to Bild, that is because one of the very best in the business is asking for twice as much as Los Blancos are willing to pay.
DID YOU KNOW?
Real are said to have a €35m (£30m/$38m) annual offer on the table, but that is nowhere near what Mbappe is reportedly demanding. La Liga giants at Santiago Bernabeu are looking for “written guarantees” from the Frenchman if a compromise on terms is reached, with a protracted saga continuing to drag on.GettyWHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE?
Those in Madrid want a decision to be made “quickly”. Part of the problem is that PSG are refusing to give up on retaining the services of their all-time leading goalscorer, with the reigning Ligue 1 champions ready to offer Mbappe €100m (£86m/$109m) per year to stay put.
