Real Madrid submit ‘official’ Mbappe bid to PSG as Perez promises crucial €80m sweetener

Real Madrid have made an offer to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe , according to reports, after Al-Hilal’s huge bid.

The France international was put up for sale by the Ligue 1 club over the weekend with PSG feeling ‘betrayed’ by Mbappe as they have become convinced that the former Monaco forward has agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

PSG told Mbappe they wanted an answer on a new deal before July 15 or they would have to attempt to sell him this summer as Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reluctant to lose him for nothing in 12 months.

Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal made a huge offer of €300m to PSG for Mbappe on Monday with reports claiming their one-year offer to the player could reach as much as €700m.

But widespread reports indicate Mbappe only wants his ‘dream’ move to Real Madrid with the his ideal plan to join them at the end of the season.

However, the circumstances surrounding his current position at PSG could dictate his future, with Spanish newspaper Nacional claiming Real Madrid have now launched a bid to buy him a year early.

Theiy have submitted an ‘official offer’ to the player ahead of attempting to agree a fee with PSG and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to pay Mbappe the €80m promised by PSG in the form of a loyalty bonus.

Nacional add that Perez has told Mbappe that ‘he can forget about the discussions’ with the Ligue 1 outfit as Real Madrid are ready to take care of his loyalty bonus, with the Frenchman to receive €40m in the first year.

Despite nothing being finalised, the newspaper insists that ‘the soap opera is entering its last days’ with Mbappe ready to ‘make public his decision to go’.

Nacional‘s sources insist that ‘the player will arrive in the Santander League this summer’ and Mbappe’s future ‘will be known during the first days of August’.

French football expert Jonathan Johnson has warned PSG about their potential attempts to maginalise Mbappe if he remains at the club this season.

Johnson wrote in his Caught Offside column: “There’s been talk that PSG have threatened to keep Mbappe on the bench all season if he stays, but I find it hard to believe they’d actually be able to do that. A lot would have to happen between now and the end of the summer for PSG and Mbappe to have to continue together next season, but there have been previous sagas like this with Adrien Rabiot and Hatem Ben Arfa.

“Basically, PSG can keep Mbappe separate from the rest of the squad while the transfer window’s open, but once it’s closed they’ll have a very hard time marginalising him.”
