PSG stance on Kylian Mbappe revealed as Real Madrid set deadline for pre-contract - Reports
PSG's reported stance on striker Kylian Mbappe getting a deadline to sign a pre-contract with Real Madrid has been revealed.
Mbappe, 25, has been a transfer target of Los Blancos for a while. With the Frenchman telling his current club of his unwillingness to extend his deal when it expires in 2024, Mbappe's transfer rumours have intensified.
As per Marca (via PSG Talk), Los Blancos are once again at the forefront of the queue and have extended the same lucrative offer they offered him in the summer of 2022: €26 million net salary and a €130 million signing bonus.
Nevertheless, as per L'Equipe, the Parisians are optimistic that Mbappe - who is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club next month - will once again rebuff Real Madrid and continue his stay in Paris.
Meanwhile, in what could have as a setback for Real Madrid, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Mbappe is unlikely to make a decision on his future next month.
That essentially means that the Frenchman's transfer saga could spill over to the summer, when his current contract with PSG expires, on June 30.
