The Qatari-owned club have tabled an offer for Mbappe to extend his contract, albeit it's believed that it doesn't represent a big rise on his existing terms. Naturally, the PSG hierarchy wants him to stay, but they also don't want to be "held to ransom" by the Frenchman.Mbappe and Real Madrid are still negotiating his proposed deal there, but they have not come any closer to deciding on his salary, according to <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/kylian-mbappe-real-madrid-transfer-b2490563.html" target="_blank">The Independent</a>, with a disparity between the player's expectations and the offer currently on the table.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbappe is also of said to be of interest to Liverpool and Arsenal. The Premier League giants would be eager to take him to England, but they are aware that doing so will require them to drastically reshape their wage structures - a risk that none of them is prepared to take. According to the report, Mbappe's summer alternatives are limited, similar to Lionel Messi's circumstances when he left Barcelona. It's unclear if Mbappe will have to reduce his demands or if Real Madrid will go above and beyond for their number one target.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mbappe has played in 288 games for PSG, scoring 241 goals and dishing out 105 assists. Though a Champions League crown has eluded him, if he moves to Spain and teams up with players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, that dream might come true with the 14-time winners.

DID YOU KNOW?

The next few weeks will be crucial for Mbappe's future as he will continue to try and push Madrid into bending to his will. He will be in action next when PSG take on Brest on Wednesday in the French Cup.
