The French footballer Kylian Mbappe is reportedly in talks with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) over the renewal of his contract. The talks have resumed after a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to reports, PSG is offering Mbappe a world-record-breaking annual salary of $55 million ($42 million), which would make him the highest-paid player in the world. This figure has been reported by several media outlets and was confirmed by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
This offer comes as a significant blow to rival clubs, who had previously offered Mbappe higher salaries than PSG. However, PSG believes that their offer is fair and reasonable given Mbappe's record-breaking performance for the club.
Despite the high salary, Mbappe has expressed interest in staying at PSG and has been vocal about his desire to continue playing for the team he loves. He has also said that he wants to win more titles with PSG and help them achieve their goals.
The negotiations between PSG and Mbappe will likely be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. It remains to be seen whether Mbappe will accept PSG's offer or look elsewhere for a new club. However, it is clear that Mbappe is one of the most valuable players in world football and his departure could have a major impact on the sport.
