Kylian Mbappe ‘makes final transfer decision’ after unique offer proposed to Liverpool and Real Madrid

Latest Liverpool transfer news and gossip as PSG star Kylian Mbappe reportedly makes a decision on his future amid repeated links of a potential move to the Reds or Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly made a decision on his future amid continuous links over a move to Liverpool.

The Reds have been tentatively linked with the possibility of signing Mbappe for the past few years. The France international moved to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 for a reported fee of £166 million, but there have always been rumours about his future.

Mbappe’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, meaning he is free to negotiate with clubs outside France should he wish to do so. As a result, links over a move with Liverpool and Real Madrid have intensified in recent weeks.

According to Sport Bild, Mbappe has made the decision that he wants to join Real Madrid in the summer. It has been reported that Mbappe’s desire to win the Champions League has factored into his decision to sign for the La Liga giants.

The report goes a step further by claiming that the reason Liverpool “withdrew” from the running to sign Mbappe was due to the financial demands of the deal. It has been claimed that Mbappe currently earns €200 million (£170 million) per year at PSG through salary and bonuses, and would not want to earn less with any deal he signs with a new team.

The update on Mbappe’s future follows on from the recent report which claimed that he had demands of his own for the summer ahead. It was reported that Mbappe is keen to play for France at both the European Championships and the Olympics this summer.

It was claimed that Mbappe’s wish to play at the Olympics would be a “dealbreaker” for any team wishing to sign him in what is a unique demand. The Olympics are due to take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, which would prevent Mbappe from featuring in the latter stages of pre-season and the early days of the 2024/25 campaign.
