PSG are willing to fight to retain attacker Kylian Mbappe and are preparing to make him an offer that has been described as “mind blowing”.

Mbappe is out of contract with the Parc des Princes side in the summer of 2024, and his refusal to take out an option on his deal that could see him stay with the club for a further 12 months has been greeted with frustration by the board, who could even consider selling him this summer.

Real Madrid are considered hot favourites to land the World Cup winner should he become a free agent, but Arsenal are also considering a move.

PSG, meanwhile, are seeking a way to take that possibility out of their hands by offering him a massive new contract, according to Defensa Central.

The Spanish source reports that PSG are ready to offer Mbappe a “mega contract” that has already been given the green light by the Emir of Qatar, who ultimately oversees the business of the club’s owners, QSI.

This deal would be worth €1 billion and could see the player sign a contract that would effectively tie him to PSG for the duration of his career, with a 10 or 11-year contract suggested.

PSG forced into Mbappe transfer?

This information runs in direct contradiction to reports elsewhere that the deal Mbappe signed in 2022 has put a big hole in PSG’s finances. The striker is paid €70m per year as his gross annual salary, while he has large bonus payments included in his deal, including an €80m bonus payment this summer.

AS reports that as a consequence of this, PSG cannot afford the France international star to depart on a free transfer next summer.

Such a prospect is very possible, though, with Real Madrid reportedly having lined up a contract that is worth over €800m for the player.

Publicly, meanwhile, Mbappe is insistent that he will stay at PSG this season, with the player having looked relaxed during the pre-season training sessions he has participated in so far.
