PSG READY TO MAKE KYLIAN MBAPPE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER; SOURCE CLAIM THE CONTRACT COULD BE WELL OVER £500k A WEEK

Paris Saint-Germain are understandably reluctant to let a world-class talent leave amid ongoing links to Real Madrid and other top clubs in Europe.

The Ligue1 Giants are reportedly preparing a mammoth contract offer for Kylian Mbappe that will make him the highest-paid player in world football on a deal worth well over £500,000 a week.

PSG are understandably reluctant to part with a prized asset and have stated on a regular basis that they believe fresh terms can be thrashed out.

That stance was reiterated by sporting director Leonardo ahead of a meeting with Madrid, with the Brazilian looking for a global superstar to see out his playing days in Paris.

He told El Larguero: “I don’t think such an important decision will depend on a match or a tie. He is an intelligent, mature boy, with a tremendous capacity for analysis and always knowing what he wants for his career and his future.

“Hopefully he spends his entire career at PSG, which would be a very good sign for us and the club. For me he is a player who is in the top five of the world without any doubt.”
