The ongoing transfer saga surrounding the potential move of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid has been a topic of discussion for several years. Mbappe, a long-time admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo and Los Blancos, has seemingly always had a desire to play at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, despite the speculation, a move to Real Madrid has yet to materialize.
This summer, the situation has intensified, and Mbappe appears closer to leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) than ever before. The Ligue 1 champions have adamantly stated that they want the French superstar to either extend his contract or be sold during the current transfer window. In an effort to convince him to stay, PSG is reportedly about to make a colossal contract offer to Mbappe.

PSG’s stance is understandable as Mbappe’s current contract is expiring in 2024, and they are keen to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Despite persistent rumors of a potential move to Real Madrid, PSG is determined to keep the player and is sparing no effort to persuade him to commit to a new deal and remain in Paris.
PSG’s determination: Leaving no stone unturned to keep Kylian Mbappe
Recent reports suggest that PSG has proposed a contract worth approximately $1.11 billion for 10 years to Mbappe, making it the most lucrative offer in sports history. However, Mbappe has reportedly expressed that he is more motivated by his desire to play for Real Madrid, where he envisions winning numerous trophies. Mbappe has already informed PSG that he does not intend to sign a new contract and plans to leave on a free transfer next summer.
If accepted by Mbappe, the proposed contract would make him the highest-paid athlete of all time, positioning him to top Forbes’ list of The World’s Highest-Paid Athletes for years to come. The reported 10-year extension, with an optional additional 12 months, would provide the Frenchman with significant financial benefits.

For Real Madrid, who have a history of signing top talents in soccer, Mbappe remains a prime target. However, PSG’s massive offer has put the ball firmly in Real Madrid’s court, forcing them to make a monumental decision. The Spanish giants must weigh the financial implications of the staggering contract offer against their desire to secure Mbappe’s services as part of their Galactico culture.
