The incredible amount of money Mbappe is willing to fork out to sign for Liverpool

Kylian Mbappé has a knack for leaving his future open, keeping the suspense about his intentions and fuelling the speculation that keeps him in the spotlight. The French striker once again added fuel to the fire of rumours with his words after winning the French Super Cup. In one of his rare appearances in front of the press, Mbappé assured that he has not yet disentangled the daisy of his next club and that all options are on the table. To the Madrid fans urging him to make up his mind, he sent a message of patience.

"I haven't made the decision (...) I don't know when I will make it. When I know what I want to do, why wait?" the player replied to the journalists who had to make do with reading between the lines. It is clear from this detailed reading that the striker, who has been free to negotiate with any club since 1 January, wants to keep all fronts open, including that of a new contract extension which, at the age of 25, may already be definitive.

At the beginning of this season, when he informed the club of his intention not to take effect of the extra year signed in 2022, the positions of the player and the club seemed irreconcilable. The president, Nasser Al Khelaifi, removed him from the first team and gave him an ultimatum: either renewal or immediate departure. "With the agreement I reached with the president this summer, my decision matters little. We managed to protect all parties and preserve the serenity of the club for the future," said the player last night.

The money he would give up to sign for Liverpool

The pact Kylian Mbappé spoke about last night is him reaching an agreement with PSG to not receive €75m-€80m as loyalty bonus if he leaves the club as free agent. Liverpool is the one that sounds with more intensity to get the player, he shows an unshakeable faith in his conditions that make him sail with firm course towards the destiny that he himself wants to mark. Without closing any door.
