The clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the knockout round of the Champions League could also be seen as a battle for Kylian Mbappe. After 90 minutes of fighting, the Parisians are closer to the top eight, and if the British Independent is to be believed, they are slightly better positioned to convince the French star to stay at the club. Namely, the striker who solved the first match against the Royal Club with a great goal in injury time is considering a Paris Saint-Germain offer of around 6.5 billion Ksh! This sum also comes without bonus, which is more than double he gets now, because Mbappe is currently earning around 3.2 billion in Paris, with bonuses.Mbappe – Real Madrid – Mbappe – Real Madrid – Mbappe – Liverpool… Wait what!?According to the British media, the giant from the Princes’ Park prepared Mbappe between 46 and 130 million Ksh per week. Some media even calculate that PSG will pay over 8 billion per year to the Tricolor national team player. The Independent claims that members of Mbappe’s entourage, and that includes his parents, met with the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. The meeting focused on the arrogance of Real Madrid and its boss Florentino Perez, who was furious because of his team’s performance and is thinking hard about replacing Carlo Ancelotti with Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season.(1.55) LILLE (3.90) METZ (6.50)Despite the money and the disappointing edition in Paris, Real Madrid is still the biggest club in the world, an oasis for big stars such as Mbappe. There is no doubt that we are witnessing the biggest transfer saga in modern football, which was already marked by this year’s Paris Saint-Germain’s refusal of Real’s 26 billion Ksh for a player in the last year of his contract. Apart from that, world media are buzzing that the presidents of France – the current Emanuel Macron and the former Nicolas Sarkozy (very close to the Qatar administration of PSG), are in the mission to ‘soften’ Mbappe, and make him change his mind about leaving. ‘Heavy artillery’ indeed.
