The transfer market in the winter is always full of anticipation, especially when Paris Saint-Germain's star Kylian Mbappe is back in the spotlight. Recently, "Let's Live" quoted a report from the French **RMC, which made me full of curiosity and speculation about Mbappe's future.
Paris Saint-Germain seem to have realised that Mbappe's future may no longer be theirs. As much as they wish they could have hoped to delay the arrival of this day, the reality is often harsh. The conditions offered by Paris to renew the contract, including the waiver of an 80 million euro loyalty bonus, seemed to me to be an effort of desperation.
But Mbappe's transfer story is much more than that. British media talksport analysis said that if Mbappe breaks off the renewal of his contract with Paris, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even teams in the Saudi league may become his next stop. Real Madrid, in particular, seem to have been keeping the door open for Mbappe.
Real Madrid's attitude is particularly evident. The latest news from the Spanish newspaper Marca shows that they are willing to offer up to 1A signing fee of 300 million euros, plus an annual salary of 26 million euros. Such a number, even for football, is astronomical. Real Madrid hope that Mbappe can give an answer in January, but if Mbappe refuses again, Real Madrid may turn their attention to Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
At the same time, the situation at Liverpool is also worth watching. If they give Mohamed Salah to the Saudi side next year, they will also be in the race for Mbappe. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's interest in Mbappe seems to be unabated, which could be another big draw in the transfer market.
Chelsea, on the other hand, despite their deep pockets, will struggle to qualify for next season's Champions League due to current ranking issues. This could be an important factor for Mbappe when considering a move. After all, for a top star, playing in the Champions League is almost essential.
The Saudi league team has also shown great sincerity towards Mbappe, offering a staggering $700 million annual contract. However, Mbappe seems to be more inclined to prove himself in Europe's big clubs.
To sum up, if Mbappe is unable to reach a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain in the end, Real Madrid and Liverpool will be his two most likely next home. For those of us who are ordinary football fans, Mbappe's transfer story is like a suspenseful blockbuster, which makes people both excited and excited. Whatever his final choice, we want to see him on the pitch, because that's the most fascinating part of football.
