As far as PSG are concerned, they knew this transaction with Real Madrid was coming. Mbappe had an option to extend his contract by another season. He told PSG owners last season he wasn’t going to do that.
He costs PSG an absolute fortune, in the region of £180m a year when you factor in his wages and bonuses. There’s a sense of relief that this whole circus is going to be over and their future is going to move in a different direction.
Everybody knows Real Madrid want to sign him. He’s been in talks with Real for a long time because since January he’s been able to talk to other clubs as he’s off contract this summer.
Our information is, Real are prepared to make him the highest-paid player in history but there is no way a club even as big as Real can afford to pay him the kind of money he was earning at PSG.
The talks have dragged on for so long because they have had to come to an agreement as he’s going to take a wage cut. The first step in the process is he has told PSG he is leaving and they have acknowledged that.
‘Everyone at Real Madrid thinks Mbappe will join’
Inside the club, everyone is positive, especially Florentino Perez and Jose Angel Sanchez. They are the ones who know what is going to happen. They believe in March or April that Mbappe will tell the club – not publicly – where he is going to play.
Everybody inside the club believes he is going to play for Real Madrid but let’s see what happens, especially in the next weeks.
At Real Madrid, the player that earns the most is on €24m [£20m] per year. Real, it has been reported, could offer him €25m [£21m] after tax, so around €50m [£43m] before tax.
Inside Real Madrid they believe that the amount of money Kylian has earned in the last two or three years is down in part to the famous £200m bid Real Madrid made to sign him before he signed a contract extension at PSG.
The club believe that the money he has earned, in part, is thanks to Real Madrid’s offer that was rejected by PSG.
