The France international currently has a deal with the Ligue 1 giants that is set to expire at the end of the season.

And unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past 12 months, you’ll be well aware of the fact that Real Madrid are throwing everything they’ve got at signing the PSG star in the summer transfer window.
However, we’ve yet to receive a concrete statement from the player or either club over Mbappe’s future and as such many in France and Spain believe the player still hasn’t made up his mind.
A recent report from France suggests that Mbappe’s delayed decision could be down to his parents disagreeing over the right move for their son.
However, in the meantime PSG aren’t willing to wait around to see what the player wants to do and have instead made an offer to the striker that few in world football would be willing to turn down.
Pay him more as in, not more than PSG but more than what Real have offered so far, which is miles away from that (around €30m a year)

PSG’s latest offer to Mbappe
According to sports journalist Guillem Balague, Mbappe’s reluctance to commit to a move to Madrid is down to a fantastic new offer made by PSG.
The Spanish reporter has revealed that the French club have offered Mbappe no less than €150 million to stay at the club for no more than another two years.
That, unsurprisingly, would mean that the striker would be making around €75m per season at PSG from this summer onwards.
Not only would such an offer mean Mbappe’s wages at the club would treble overnight but it would also put the striker on an equal financial footing with Lionel Messi, who is currently the highest paid player at PSG.
As such, the French club have finally put their money where their mouth is in making Mbappe an offer he may not be able to refuse.
