 Real Madrid calls Mbappe ‘prisoner of money’ over €240m-per-year contract demand



Real Madrid reportedly considers French footballer, Kylian Mbappe, a ‘prisoner of money’ after he demanded a €240m-per-year contract to leave PSG this summer.


The forward who is reportedly on a staggering £893,000 a week at PSG, has one year remaining on his PSG contract and last month signalled his intention to leave the French capital in 2024.

This means that come January 1, 2024, Mbappe will be free to negotiate personal terms with other clubs ahead of a free transfer in the summer of 2024.


Speaking to AFP in June, he said;


“I have NEVER discussed any contract renewal with PSG. The board has been informed since July 15th, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024 and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them.”


While Real Madrid have long been considered the Frenchman’s most likely suitor and came close to signing him last year, it’s been gathered that Mbappe is demanding a staggering €240m-per-year contract to join any club this summer.



The forward has also been linked with Liverpool, but it is unlikely that the Reds will be willing to match the Frenchman’s salary expectations.


With Karim Benzema departing for Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid would have liked to have signed Mbappe this summer.



Marca reported that following the footballer’s contract demand, Madrid will instead launch another bid to secure his signature on a free transfer next year. As they prepare their package, Real chiefs believe that Mbappe will have to make concessions to secure the move.



The publication also reported that the Spanish giants’ chiefs see Mbappe as a “prisoner of money” who needs to accept a pay cut if he really is eager to leave PSG.


Former Stoke and Newcastle flop Joselu, 33, has already arrived at Real Madrid on loan from Espanyol. The club’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti is a big fan of Tottenham star Harry Kane, but Real are expected to wait for Mbappe to become available in 2024.


The PSG star has also been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea. But Real Madrid remains the favourites to land his signature.
