If he cannot stay long term, let’s keep him at least until 2022 Qatar World Cup – that has been the moto for Qatar emir, the owner of PSG from the moment Kylian Mbappe informed the club that he wants to leave. Instead of looking for a long term commitment, Nasser Al-Khelaifi refused all Real’s bids during August 2021 and focused solely on extending Mbappe for the next two years. Main reason – the Qatar owners want to see PSG’s best player as PSG player at the World Cup, organized later this year. After that, he can leave if he really wants. And according to the latest reports, he is in the offensive again.Kylian Mbappe ‘has asked Real Madrid for £83m more than they agreed and Spanish club have refused’ https://t.co/77VNpDOPp5— 9 Breaking News (@9_breaking_news) April 22, 2022 Mbappe’s mother has travelled to Doha, according to Marca, and guess what, Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also there at the moment. But, Mbappe’s family is apparently there to negotiate the question of image rights for their son, which is something that the world press has a hard time to believe. In fact, they believe that image rights will be a part of the talks, but not the main part. Prominent Spanish journalist Guillem Balague claims that the Frenchman asked Real for an additional 100,000,000 euros to sign, which the club refused to do, and thus aroused optimism in Paris that Mbape could extend the contract, which expires on July 1 this year.Mbappe’s transfer twist: ‘There are new elements’According to earlier information, the Royal Club offered the young striker between 60,000,000 and 80,000,000 euros to sign, plus an annual net salary of 25,000,000 euros. The Saints are reportedly willing to pay 175,000,000 for just signing a two-year contract. Earlier it was written that the figure was 150,000,000, but that too has changed. Real Madrid have also been warned by the striker’s family that they were going there and that a meeting was going to take place, mainly on the question of image rights. But, they will surely meet Al-Khelaifi and discuss the potential extension. Unlike other footballers, who let their family decide everything, in this case, they will get all the information and all the bids, and then present it to Kylian, who will decide what to do.

Cela veut dire que la famille est au Qatar ⌛️⌛️ #TeamPSG pic.twitter.com/YX2DAbjvbX— ParisTeam (@Paristeamfr) April 20, 2022 As far as the image rights are concerned, Mbappe family wants to take their share of image rights no matter where he plays. They also negotiated with Real about this, as Marca reported back in February, since Real usually takes 50% of their player’s image rights. Mbappe family wants a percentage of his Real Madrid shirt sales in the event he agrees to join Los Blancos. Only Mohamed Salah, Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi sold more shirts than the France international in 2021, and nobody wants to renounce that large sum of money.A fan asking Roberto Carlos in Osasuna game about Mbappe: “Is Mbappe coming? Yes he is”pic.twitter.com/Mhmfoez2t8[via @SaullRM]— Real Madrid Info ³⁴ (@RMadridInfo) April 21, 2022 Back to the meeting in Doha, which was (obviously with purpose) reveled Mbappe’s younger brother himself, Kylian’s mother has informed Real about this trip, but also scheduled another meeting with Los Blancos next week in Madrid. For their part, Real have stayed calm and without comment. They have offered everything to Mbappe, and they informed the player that the offer stands for now, this July, and not in two years, if he signs an extension with PSG. But the former and current players are all pushing for Mbappe. His French colleague Karim Benzema recently told L’Equipe that Real would double their goals with Mbappe alongside him in attack, and a small statement from Roberto Carlos kept the flame alive in Madrid. Asked by a fan during the recent La Liga match between Osasuna and Real if Mbappe is coming, the Brazilian legend for eleven seasons in Madrid (1996-2007) said: “Yes he is”.
