Kylian Mbappe remains in line for a loyalty bonus at Paris Saint-Germain despite questions being asked of how long he will be sticking around.
WHAT HAPPENED? The France international forward committed to a new contract at Parc des Princes in the summer of 2022. Just 12 months on, and with only a year left to run on those terms, the World Cup winner has revealed that he will not be agreeing another extension in the French capital.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Mbappe is now being heavily linked with La Liga giants Real Madrid, while Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal are said to have a world-record €300 million (£258m/$331m) transfer bid on the table.
That offer would land the 24-year-old a €700m (£602m/$773m) salary – with said terms attracting interest from superstar performers outside of football circles.
AND WHAT’S MORE: While Mbappe would appear to have little interest in remaining on PSG’s books, he is due to be paid a loyalty bonus of €60m (£52m/$66m).
That clause in his current contract will be triggered on August 1, with the fee in question set to be paid in instalments.
