Mbappé, whose contract with PSG expires at the end of the season, has been in discussions with other clubs since January 1.
Real Madrid, despite previous unsuccessful attempts to acquire Mbappé, has reportedly presented a contract offer that is lower than previous ones but would still make him the highest-paid player at the club. However, it’s mentioned that the offer is not as high as what Madrid was willing to offer previously, as they aim to maintain parity with the salaries of existing stars like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, who earn around €10.5 million ($11.4m) net per season.
Mbappé currently earns €37 million per season at PSG and has been offered the same salary in their latest contract proposal.
Liverpool has also been keeping an eye on Mbappé’s contract situation, with reports suggesting that the French star hasn’t ruled out a move to the Premier League.
While some players at Real Madrid are hopeful about Mbappé joining the club in the summer, there’s a sense of caution due to past experiences where similar optimism didn’t materialize into a transfer, leading to Mbappé renewing his contract with PSG.
Despite the disappointment of not securing Mbappé’s signature in 2022, it’s emphasized that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is personally involved in the negotiations this time and has maintained communication with the player throughout.
