Mbappe turns down “name your price” cheque from PSG
World Cup winner and Paris Saint-Germain’s talisman Kylian Mbappe has reportedly rejected a blank cheque from the Ligue 1 giants, fueling hope in Madrid camp.
This is coming after impressive stoppage time goal in the first leg of Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League last-16 clash against Real Madrid; the French giants are more convinced than ever that they want Kylian Mbappe to stay.
However, it has recently been reported that the striker has turned down a “name your price” offer from his current club.
Mbappe’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, and it is widely believed that he is determined to finally wear the famous Real Madrid white shirt. However, a deal has not been finalised between the player and the Spanish giants, and PSG are still desperate to find a way to keep him at the Parc des Princes.
According to Marca ,PSG have been dealt with yet another blow in the transfer saga, with Mbappe supposedly rejecting their latest blank-cheque renewal offer.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that the Parisians have put forward a new deal that will potentially make Mbappe the highest-paid footballer on the planet, which has been turned down.
The club has decided that sky’s the limit when it comes to the forward, and they have gone well beyond their previous offer of 90 million euros gross salary.
Mbappe’s camp had a meeting with the club last week, with the improved deal placed on the table.

PSG’s Qatari owners are keen to keep the player at the club until the FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year. After that, he has the option to finally make the move to Madrid.
However, that would mean PSG would be entitled to a transfer fee if his extension runs until 2024. There is no sign that anything will be decided before the second leg of the Champions League clash between the two teams on March 9 and both PSG and Mbappe are hoping the replicate impressive run recorded in the first leg.
