Impasse on wages may cause Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid to falter
Kylian Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid. The club’s pursuit of Mbappe faces difficulty due to the striker’s high wage demands. There are reports that Mbappe may need to take a £30 million pay cut to join Carlo Ancelotti’s side. This comes after Mbappe was initially left out of PSG’s pre-season tour in Asia, but was later reinstated by the club’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. The 2018 World Cup winner’s uncertain future includes the possibility of staying in France, with PSG reportedly preparing a significant £86 million per season offer. Mbappe himself has publicly stated his indecision about his future. This uncertainty also piques the interest of Liverpool, as Mbappe’s wage demands make a move to Anfield unlikely, and a collapsed transfer to Madrid could potentially prompt Liverpool to consider an initial loan offer due to the absence of a transfer fee.
