Paris Saint-Germain reportedly extended a lucrative proposal to its French star Kylian Mbappe in a bid to keep him at the club. This live briefing came from Le Parisien reporter François David and was broadcast on air by El Chiringuito, highlighting the ongoing drama surrounding the forward’s future.
The statement circulating in media circles outlines a two-year contract offer valued at 160 million euros in total, equating to 80 million euros per season. Such terms would mark a substantial increase in Mbappe’s remuneration and reflect PSG’s willingness to commit to a long-term arrangement amid intense transfer chatter.
Despite PSG’s overtures, Mbappe appears determined to pursue a move to Real Madrid. It has been suggested that his decision could hinge on the relative competitiveness of Real Madrid’s offer compared with those expected for players of the caliber of Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Junior, which could influence Mbappe’s willingness to extend his stay in Paris.
Mbappe joined PSG in 2018 after leaving Monaco, cementing himself as a central figure for the club over multiple seasons. With his contract at the Parc des Princes due to expire in the summer of 2024, the door remains open for him to sign a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid should negotiations reach that point. Reports appeared to indicate that an agreement regarding the striker’s transfer to the Spanish club had been arranged on January 8, underscoring the volatility of the upcoming transfer window.
Earlier in the season, Mbappe finished third in the Ballon d’Or standings, behind Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Lionel Messi of Inter Miami, underscoring the level of competition surrounding his career at the club level and on the global stage.
There has also been persistent chatter about Mbappe’s relationship with Real Madrid and how it has evolved over recent months. In the public discourse, Mbappe was once labeled by some observers as one of the most controversial figures in Real Madrid’s history, a perception that has shaped how fans and pundits view his potential transfer and his impact on both clubs involved.
