With 17 goals and 13 assists in 27 Ligue 1 games this season, Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain has shown himself to be one of the top players in the world, proving that he is already one of the best. After this season, he will be out of contract at the Parc des Princes, and it seemed like a fair conclusion that he would join Real Madrid.

In order to persuade the young star to stay with them for the next two years, PSG aremaking one more pitch. Theyare prepared to pay the 23-year-old a net yearly salary of €25million and pay him a €180 million signing-on fee to keep him at the club, media in Spain claim.

The club will pay his parents, who are also his agents, a commission of €50million if he signs that deal. Despite that, Mbappe would reportedly rather join the Whites , sinceit is his “favorite destination”, and he is bound to leave France sooner or later.

A string of misfortunes have befallen him since his return to Stamford Bridge, and thehumbling defeat to Real Madrid just adds to that list. As soon as the Belgian rejoined the blues from reigning Serie A championsInter last summer, he was immediately being linked with a transfer away, especially after the feud with German manager Thomas Tuchel.

As a result of this dispute, the striker has only started12 games in thePremier League this season, making 36 appearances altogether, in which he has bagged 12 goals. Becausehas fallen behind striker Kai Havertz, he has been limited to only two starts, in the FA Cup.

However, Chelsea certainly did not sign the striker for a club-record fee last summer to serve as a backup striker. There is a possibility that the 28-year-old striker may be looking for a new challenge elsewhere. In addition, Leonardo, the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain, is in contact with his agent, Mino Raiola,about a possible switch.
