CONFIRMED BREAKING NEWS: coming live this morning from Fabrizio Romano, Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe has hit a roadblock, as the French striker’s mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, is adamant that her son should join Liverpool FC. Mbappe himself is reportedly open to a move to Anfield, as he looks to take the next step in his career. The development will be a blow to Real Madrid, who have been heavily linked with Mbappe for some time. However, with the player and his mother unmoved by their advances, it looks increasingly likely that Liverpool FC will be the one to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe’s Move to Liverpool FC Looks More Likely as Real Madrid Stumble.
Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe has hit a snag despite being the leading contenders to secure the 25-year-old’s signature as he prepares to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract.
According to reports from Marca, negotiations have encountered difficulties with Mbappe’s agent and mother, Fayza Lamari, who is determined to secure favorable terms for both herself and Mbappe.
While Mbappe is open to compromise as he weighs his options, talks have reached a stalemate.
The involved parties appear to be at odds in reaching an agreement, posing a significant obstacle.
Mbappe’s reported demands of a substantial £60 million annual salary and a staggering signing-on bonus of £107 million have complicated the situation.
Despite expressing interest in joining Real Madrid for years, Mbappe chose to extend his stay at PSG in 2022, signing a two-year extension with an option for an additional 12 months. However, he has since indicated his intention not to renew his contract.
In a bid to secure Mbappe’s services without facing last-minute setbacks, Real Madrid has reportedly proposed an annual salary of £30 million and seeks written assurances.
Meanwhile, PSG is making efforts to convince their star player to remain, offering him an extraordinary £86 million per season.
While Mbappe’s wage demands are impeding his potential move to Madrid, neither Arsenal nor Liverpool are considering a sensational hijack due to concerns about disrupting their wage structures.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Mbappe has maintained impressive form on the field, scoring 30 goals in 29 appearances this season.
However, he was sidelined as an unused substitute in PSG’s recent victory over Lille due to an ankle injury sustained in a previous match against Brest. PSG manager Luis Enrique clarified that Mbappe’s absence was precautionary and assured of his physical well-being.
As Mbappe deliberates on his future, PSG remains hopeful that he will return to the starting lineup for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Real Sociedad.
Enrique revealed that Mbappe has yet to communicate his decision regarding his future with the club, leaving his intentions uncertain.
