Kylian Mbappe has refused to renew his contract with PSG and he has also agreed to give up a loyalty bonus worth 100 million Euros (£87 million) to leave Parc des Princes. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe about to complete the takeover of 25% of the shares, Football Insider reported that MU is ready to compete for Mbappe next summer.
Manchester City and Chelsea also have enough financial capacity to make a deal to bring the 2018 World Cup champion to England. Meanwhile, Spanish media said that Real Madrid has given up pursuing this striker because he will be nearly 26 years old by the time he joins Madrid. Additionally, Mbappe’s demand for at least 20 million Euros per year along with a huge kickback could disrupt the salary structure at the club.
Thus, opportunities are opening up for teams in the Premier League. The France star is currently earning a salary of £1.2 million per week at PSG. He is in excellent form this season, scoring 12 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances. Although he was left out of coach Luis Enrique’s squad for most of pre-season, he still showed an important role for the capital team.
Mbappe has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid. That hinders interested clubs when he only looks towards Los Blancos. Even before signing a 2-year contract extension at PSG in 2022, Mbappe almost went to Real.
Man United, Man City and Chelsea may be the only English teams capable of paying for this blockbuster deal. But Liverpool is also watching Mbappe and the player himself has said he is a big fan of coach Jurgen Klopp.
