Rumours surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future are likely to rumble on for a couple more months yet.
For a long time, it was reported the France World Cup winner was a shoo-in to join LaLiga giants Real Madrid.
But more recently there have been rumblings he could be swayed to remain at Paris Saint-Germain, and a bumper new contract offer may be on the table.
TOP STORY – PSG READY TO OFFER MBAPPE HUGE MONEY TO HOLD OFF MADRID
Mbappe will be the hottest free agent on the market should he decide not to renew with PSG and a move to the Spanish capital still cannot be ruled out.
However, Goal reports his switch to the Santiago Bernabeu has hit a snag due to a dispute over the 23-year-old’s image rights.
Meanwhile, PSG are reportedly ready to offer Mbappe an eye-watering €50million annual salary, a deal that would make him the highest paid player at the Parc des Princes, should he choose to remain in the French capital.
ROUND-UP
