PSG set asking price of €200m for Real Madrid target Mbappe
According to Le Parisien, PSG has set an asking price of €200m for Kylian Mbappe, given the rumors about Real Madrid preparing to submit an official bid. The French forward’s contract has only one year left, and as he declined to sign an extension, PSG has transfer-listed him. Furthermore, he has been excluded from the club’s pre-season tour and is reportedly training separately with other listed players. The situation indicates potential significant developments in the football transfer market.
It seems that while Real Madrid is the leading contender for Kylian Mbappe, they have not yet submitted an official bid. Meeting PSG’s asking price of €200m could pose challenges for Real Madrid due to the additional costs of Mbappe’s wages and bonuses, making the overall deal expensive. Le Parisien reports that Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, is aiming to finalize the negotiations within the €200m budget, indicating the complexity of the transfer negotiations. The situation remains uncertain as both clubs navigate the financial aspects of the potential deal.
