Kylian Mbappe
The rumors of change around Kylian Mbappe do not stop. The Frenchman has rejected the next contract offer from Paris St.-Germain.
Mbappe is said to have turned down a new five-year contract including a hefty salary increase, according to a report by “RMC Sport”. With the new deal, which would also have included an option for another season, the 22-year-old Frenchman would have become the third-best-paid Paris kicker after Lionel Messi and Neymar with a salary of 50 million euros.
But Mbappe is apparently not thinking of extending his contract with the Parisians, which will expire in 2022. The 2018 world champion has been linked to a move to Real Madrid for months. According to the report, the Madrilenians should be ready to submit a transfer offer before the end of the transfer window on August 31. The “royal” want to put 150 million euros on the table. A proud sum for a player who will be available for a free transfer this summer.
According to the report, Paris is already preparing for a possible departure of the 22-year-old star striker. The Sheikh Club is said to have contacted Everton offensive player Richarlison. However, it is also possible that a Mbappe move will be stopped, the club then risks losing the 22-year-old for free next summer. Mbappe was signed by AS Monaco in 2017 for 180 million euros.
Should the striker still leave the Parisians, Cristiano Ronaldo will also remain a possible substitute candidate. Last weekend, the five-time world footballer only sat on the bench in the 2-2 draw of Juventus Turin against Udinese Calcio – at his own request.
