For the third year in a row, Kylian Mbappe is at the center of the transfer market, having sent a letter to Paris Saint-Germain to show that he wants to stay for another year, but has no plans to activate the option for extend his contract beyond 2024.
The problem Mbappe has found is that the golden cage he has lived in for the last year has meant giving up big titles and individual awards.
What is not in doubt is that the striker is the highest paid sportsman in the world due to the various concepts that go hand in hand with modern football such as a signing bonus, contract renewal and whatever else you can imagine and that means income many millions for the Frenchman that would not be the same if he one day becomes a Real Madrid player.
Only Fayza Lamari, Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the player himself know exactly how much he earns, but MARCA can report that the striker is demanding €240m if he is to move this summer.
But Real Madrid do not believe they will sign Mbappe this summer and will only take him if he signs his contract after being able to negotiate from January 1, 2024.
As sources within the club have confirmed for MARCA, Mbappe will not go to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
