The Reds still have the French striker on the agenda to bolster their forward line

To convince Kylian Mbappé to extend his contract in Paris last May, PSG stopped at nothing. Offering its star a three-year contract, for a total amount of over 630 million euros gross. The biggest ever signed by a sportsman in the world, and here are the main points. Mbappé would earn 630 million euros gross if he stays in Paris for three more years. Messi is second and Neymar closes the podium with his first contract with PSG.

According to Le Parisien, this is what Nasser Al-Khelaïfi promised Kylian Mbappé to keep him at Paris Saint-Germain: The star signed for two years with an optional third year. He earned a €180m bonus on renewal, but it will be split into three payments of €60m each. PSG will pay him a loyalty bonus for each of the signed years. The first is in the amount of 70 million and was given to him in September; the second will be given to him the same month in 2023 in the amount of 80 million, and the third will be given to him in 2024 and increases by a few million.

With these bonuses, Mbappé has a yearly salary of 72 million euros gross and it is the biggest contract in the history of football. If Kylian completes his three-year contract with Paris, he could earn up to €630 million, surpassing Messi's €555 million contract with Barcelona in 2017. He would not only surpass Leo as the highest paid sportsman. He would also beat Patrick Mahomes, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Mike Trout and Canelo Alvarez.

Paris Saint-Germain knows what it's like to close deals worth millions of euros because in 2017 they did the same with Neymar for a value of 267 million. Beating Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Real Madrid (220 million) and Juventus (220 million) and Gareth Bale with Madrid (178 million).

<strong>Liverpool should offer a crazy contract</strong>

Therefore, if Liverpool wanted to insist on signing Mbappé, they would have to outdo the Parisians and give the striker the best contract ever seen. Kylian Mbappé is on Liverpool's agenda and, according to 'RMC Sport', it is serious. So much so that the owner of the 'Reds' would have arranged a dinner with the player's family to discuss his possible future at Anfield.
