CONFIRMED BREAKING NEWS: According to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe has encountered a setback. The French striker’s mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, is resolute in her belief that her son should join Liverpool FC. Kylian Mbappe himself is reportedly open to a move to Anfield, viewing it as a crucial step in his career. This development deals a blow to Real Madrid, who have long been associated with Mbappe. Yet, with both the player and his mother unwavering in their decision, it appears increasingly probable that Kylian Mbappe will make the move to Liverpool FC.

Despite being the frontrunners to secure the signature of 25-year-old Kylian Mbappe as he prepares to depart Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract, Real Madrid’s pursuit of the talented forward has encountered an obstacle.

According to Marca reports, negotiations have hit a snag due to difficulties in reaching favorable terms with Kylian Mbappe’s agent and mother, Fayza Lamari. Despite Mbappe being willing to consider compromises in exploring his options, talks have come to a standstill. The involved parties seem to be in disagreement, creating a significant hurdle.

The reported demands from Mbappe, including a substantial annual salary of £60 million and a staggering signing-on bonus of £107 million, have complicated the negotiation process. Despite his longstanding interest in joining Real Madrid, Mbappe opted to extend his stay at PSG in 2022, signing a two-year extension with an option for an additional 12 months. However, he has since expressed his intention not to renew the contract.

To secure Mbappe’s services without encountering last-minute setbacks, Real Madrid has proposed an annual salary of £30 million and is seeking written assurances. In contrast, PSG is making efforts to convince their star player to stay by offering an extraordinary £86 million per season.

While Mbappe’s wage demands are hindering his potential move to Madrid, neither Arsenal nor Liverpool are contemplating a sensational hijack, as they are concerned about disrupting their existing wage structures.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Kylian Mbappe has maintained an impressive performance on the field, scoring 30 goals in 29 appearances this season. However, he was sidelined as an unused substitute in PSG’s recent victory over Lille due to an ankle injury sustained in a previous match against Brest. PSG manager Luis Enrique clarified that Mbappe’s absence was precautionary and assured of his physical well-being.

As Mbappe contemplates his future, PSG remains optimistic that he will return to the starting lineup for their upcoming Champions League fixture against Real Sociedad. Enrique revealed that Mbappe has yet to communicate his decision regarding his future with the club, leaving his intentions uncertain.
