TOP STORY: Mbappe’s Madrid move in jeopardy?
Kylian Mbappe‘s proposed move to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain has hit a stumbling block over wages, according to the Independent.
Sources told ESPN on Saturday that the 25-year-old World Cup winner will swap Paris for Madrid in the summer, however this latest suggests that Los Blancos and Mbappe are still no closer to agreeing the details of his contract.
Mbappe has seemingly decided it’s time to move on from the French capital, and it appears as though he’s opted for the Bernabeu ahead of a switch to England, but Madrid’s offering so far appears to have underwhelmed both the player and his entourage.
Madrid have courted Mbappe for some time and thought they were close to landing him two years ago, only for the striker to remain at the Parc des Princes.
PSG still have an offer on the table for the France international, though it isn’t much of an improvement on his existing deal. The French league leaders are of course hoping he’ll stay, but that appears unlikely.
Liverpool and Arsenal have previously expressed interest in Mbappe, but neither club is willing to shatter their wage structure for him.
