Kylian Mbappe ‘agrees’ new PSG contract as Liverpool and Real Madrid dealt massive blow

Kylian Mbappe is close to snubbing the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool by signing a two-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the French capital over the last few months, with Real Madrid said to be keen on bringing him to the Bernabeu on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Liverpool have also been credited with a long-standing interest in landing Mbappe, who will be out of contract at the end of the current campaign as things stand. However, the Frenchman is now set to stay in Paris for the foreseeable future after reaching an agreement in principle over a new two-year deal, according to Le Parisien.

The report states that Mbappe’s representatives have approved PSG’s latest offer, which includes an eye-watering net salary of around £42.5million per year. The forward will also receive a lucrative signing-on bonus in the region of £85.1m if he officially puts pen to paper between now and the expiry of his current deal at the end of June.

Those in power at PSG are said to be adamant that Mbappe will sign his new and improved contract as soon as the formalities have been ironed out by all parties in the not-too-distant future. His new deal will come as a major blow to the likes of Real Madrid, who have been widely tipped to secure his services on a long-term basis ahead of next season.

The Spanish giants are known to be huge admirers of Mbappe and reportedly saw a nine-figure bid for the Paris native rejected by PSG just hours before last summer’s transfer deadline. It seems likely that they will now be forced to look elsewhere in order to reinforce their attacking ranks after failing in their efforts to poach Mbappe’s signature at the expense of his current employers.
