Manchester United have tabled a massive offer of €120 million plus €45 million in add-ons for PSG could be humiliatingly forced to PAY for Kylian Mbappe .

That is according to Fichajes, who report on Sunday that United have officially entered the race for the PSG superstar.

The offer consists of €120m up-front plus €45m if certain conditions are met.

The offer arrives in the wake of Mbappe being excluded by PSG from their summer tour of Japan.

PSG have made it clear to Mbappe that he will be sold this summer - and may not play again for the club - unless he renews his contract that expires a year from now.

Real Madrid are red-hot favourites to sign Mbappe, with the player himself wishing to run down his contract and join the Blancos on a Bosman transfer in 2024. This plan has infuriated PSG.

FootballTransfers exclusively revealed on Saturday that Arsenal are keeping a close eye on Mbappe and may use Gabriel Martinelli as a makeweight to sign the Frenchman in 2024.

A host of other clubs have also been linked to Mbappe in the last hours as the rumour mill goes into overdrive. This includes Chelsea and even Tottenham.

There is also reportedly a monster offer on the table from Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal ready to put together a €400m package for player and club.

Last month, Mbappe told PSG that he doesn’t intend to trigger the option in his current contract - which expires in 2024 - of extending by a further year.

Mbappe notified PSG in a written letter, which immediately sparked reports that the attacker will make his long-expected transfer to Real Madrid this summer.

However, Mbappe has stressed that he will see out the final year of his PSG contract and will not leave in 2023.

Madrid favourites to sign Mbappe

Throughout the 2021-22 season, it had been unanimously accepted that he would sign for Madrid on a Bosman transfer when his previous PSG contract expired.

But, in a shock twist, Mbappe decided to sign a new deal at PSG.

It was thought that the new deal at PSG ran until 2025 but it has since been revealed it actually expires in 2024, with the option of a further year.

Only Mbappe himself – and not PSG – have the option of extending the deal by a further year.

Nevertheless, a transfer to Real Madrid still looks likely.
