PSG has offered Kylian Mbappé an annual net salary of 50 million euros ($55,620, dollars) to try to prolong his contract with the club, which expires in June, the newspaper Le Parisien reported on Tuesday.
According to a source close to the club quoted by that newspaper, the conversations between the PSG sports director, Leonardo, and the striker’s parents continue with the difficulties inherent in this type of negotiations.
Mbappé has already rejected an offer from 45 million euros ($19,060,000 dollars) net per season and PSG would try to convince him with another five million more.
To consolidate that offer, the Qatari owners of the club would have added a loyalty bonus of 100 million euros net ($111,250 ,000 Dollars). Le Parisien recalled that Barcelona offered the Argentine Leo Messi a loyalty bonus of 78 million ($ 86,770, dollars) in 2017.
Mbappé would not be the first player to overcome the symbolic barrier of the 50 million euros net per year. The 297 million ($330,410, dollars) that Messi signed for four seasons in his contract extension with Barcelona of 2017 reported some 74 million ($82,330,000 dollars) per year.
But At that time, according to Le Parisien, the Argentine forward had 30 years, five Ballon d’Ors and four Champions Leagues with Barcelona, so the figure now offered to Mbappé, of 19 years, it would be something unprecedented.
