According to reports from Carlos Capio, PSG expect €250 million for Kylian Mbappe this summer but Real Madrid are unwilling to meet that figure which will complicate the youngster’s move.
The French setup have excluded the star winger from their pre-season tour of Asia, leaving him to train with the club’s outcasts in Paris.
The Ligue 1 champions hope to pressurise Mbappe through the aforementioned move, although the player appears calm about his situation.
Real Madrid, for their part, have maintained a low profile in their pursuit of their dream target this summer.
After the heartbreaks they have suffered in the past with Mbappe, they hope for the player or his current employers to make the first move in negotiations.
PSG want a world-record fee for Mbappe
On that front, reports earlier this week brought optimism stating that Mbappe’s move to Santiago Bernabeu was close, adding that his transfer would go down as the most expensive move in the world of football, exceeding Neymar Jr’s €222 million from Barcelona to PSG.
And now MARCA is stating that PSG are demanding a sum of €250 million for their contract rebel, with the same already having been communicated to Real Madrid via the forward’s mother and agent Fayza Lamari.
However, Real Madrid are unwilling to match that figure leading to uncertainty once again looming over his potential move.
PSG have economically lucrative offers on the table from Saudi Arabia but the player has refused to negotiate with them.
It is thus likely that Real Madrid take Mbappe’s transfer saga to the deadline day of the ongoing summer transfer window.
The pressure on PSG to sell the prodigy increases with every passing day, especially given that he will be a free agent next summer.
Dragging talks to the last minute could thus favour the Merengues from an economic standpoint and force the Ligue 1 champions to sell him for a budget price.
In 34 Ligue 1 appearances last season, the 24-year-old scored 29 goals and provided five assists. Further, he created 17 big chances and averaged 1.6 key passes per game.
