PSG believe they can convince Mbappe to stay with record salary despite Real Madrid interest
Kylian Mbappe’s desire to join Real Madrid has been football’s worst kept secret by far. The French International has dreamed of a move to Santiago Bernabeu for several years now, and the coming summer could make it a reality.
The 23-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is free to negotiate with any foreign clubs. However, Paris Saint-Germain have not given up hopes of renewing his contract.
According to reports from RMC Sport, the French club believes that they have the means required to convince Mbappe to extend for a short time. The proposed method to ensure his continuity is said to consist of two parts.
First, PSG are willing to make the youngster the highest-paid player in the world. Mbappe currently earns €25 million per season at Paris and is the third-highest earner in the club after Lionel Messi (€41 million) and Neymar Jr. (€36.8 million).
In addition, the Parisians will ensure him of an ambitious and solid sports project to motivate him to stay. Mbappe has been the poster boy for the French side in recent years, and will undoubtedly be the leading figure in the team if he decides to stay.
Real Madrid are said to be offering him a five-year contract worth €200 million if he joins on a free transfer in June. Los Blancos are reportedly in pole position to win his signature, but Mbappe still refuses to comment on his future.
PSG take on Real Madrid in the Champions League later this month with the first leg scheduled at Parc des Princes. It remains to be seen if the prodigal striker comments about his dream move when pitted directly against them.
The current edition of the Real Madrid squad is full of young talents, who have shown remarkable potential in recent years.
Arda Guler is among the young players looking to make a mark in European football in the years to come.
The young Turk joined Real Madrid earlier this summer, rejecting many other European giants in the process.
Toni Kroos mentoring Guler at Real Madrid
Guler has not enjoyed the best of starts to his life at Santiago Bernabeu, as he is spending a brief time on the sidelines due to an injury.
However, Guler has not stopped working on his characteristics, as he looks to kickstart his Real Madrid career on a positive note.
To that end, the former Fenerbahce starlet is receiving some key support from one of Real Madrid’s midfield pillars in the form of Toni Kroos.
This is according to MARCA, which suggests that the German international is mentoring Guler in his early days at Santiago Bernabeu.
Kroos: huge ‘sponsor’ of Guler
The report highlights how Toni Kroos is a huge admirer of Arda Guler. The German had even heaped praise on the youngster from Turkey when he joined the club earlier in the summer.
Guler, therefore, is closely training with Kroos, whose years of experience, composure, and knowledge of football, could help the youngster grow at Santiago Bernabeu.
This fits in well with Carlo Ancelotti’s vision at Real Madrid, as the Italian boss wants youngsters to have room to grow, especially with guidance from some of the older guards in the team.
It is one of the key reasons Real Madrid wanted to stick to Kroos and Luka Modric, despite bringing in Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham in the summer.
Guler, therefore, has the stage set for him to start his Real Madrid career on a strong note. After impressing in training, the next step for the youngster is to make a promising debut, which is just around the corner.
