French star demands PSG assurance as Real Madrid step up £342m bid
Kylian Mbappe is reportedly holding off on signing a new Paris Saint-Germain contract until he can be sure the Ligue 1 side can deliver on his ambition.
Now in his third season in Paris, the French forward continues to be the object of ultimate desire for Real Madrid who would have to pay at least £342million to secure his services.
For now, PSG are refusing to contemplate any bids but the situation will soon become critical if they cannot secure a contract renewal.
Tied down to 2022, Mbappe is in early discussions to sign a three-year extension worth a net £21million per year, according to reports in France.
And yet Marca detail a number of obstacles that must be passed before he signs on the dotted line.
Mbappe, 20, sees himself no longer as a rising gem but as a bona fide world-leading superstar.
That means PSG must be able to help him win accolades such as the Ballon d’Or and Champions League.
In addition, he wants parity with Brazilian star Neymar who Les Parisiens broke the world transfer record to sign but has been outscored by Mbappe during their time in the French capital.
