The future of Kylian Mbappe remains the million-dollar question. The Frenchman is set to be a free agent in June and it was expected that he would finally move away from Ligue 1, having spent 7 years there. However, there is a new twist in the tale. PSG has come up with a staggering offer to extend the Frenchman’s services. Yet, a pundit has played down the news, claiming that it could all be a part of the Frenchman’s grand plan.

Amid all the chaos, Real Madrid is not the only club interested in the PSG attacker. Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, which also happens to be Kylian Mbappe’s mum’s favorite club is also in the running.

Jose Alvarez of the Spanish soccer show El Chiringuito isn’t surprised by how quickly PSG’s new offer has been leaked. In fact, he seems to believe that it might be Kylian Mbappe’s doing after all. He explained, “I do not rule out that Mbappe has ​​leaked the offer. He looks like a hero for rejecting it if he comes to Madrid.” Considering that he rejected Real Madrid back in 2022, it would seem he wanted to make amends. However, the current scenario on every news headline paints a whole other picture. Here’s why.

As per Diario AS, PSG is ready to offer Kylian Mbappe annual wages of $108 million per season. It is expected that no other club can come close to matching the offer. Furthermore, he is not the only one set to benefit, as the new contract is set to offer perks for his brother and his entire family. It is reported that PSG will also help Fayza Lamari, the star’s mother, in setting up her player agency.

The likes of Real Madrid & Liverpool aren’t close to matching the offer. Los Blancos is only prepared to offer a salary of $32.6 million. Why could that be so, considering their long-surrounding interest in the Frenchman?

From the looks of it, Real Madrid doesn’t want to create a distance between Kylian Mbappe and the rest of the squad in terms of wages. With a salary of $26.5 million, Toni Kroos is the highest earner at the club. Hence, Real Madrid matching PSG’s reported offer could hugely upset the dressing room. Also, both clubs are completely different in terms of stature, and Los Blancos have won everything without Mbappe, overpaying might reduce its importance.

Furthermore, having spent over $100 million on Jude Bellingham, the finances will be tight at the Spanish club. Considering the form of Vinicius Jr who bagged a hat trick against FC Barcelona recently, there is a question of how Mbappe even fits in the starting XI. Would Perez & Co. let go of the Brazilian winger who has served them phenomenally for a global star who publicly rejected the club in the past? It certainly is an interesting question.
