  • Real Madrid are ready to shatter the current world record fee to sign French forward Kylian Mbappe
  • Neymar is currently the world’s most expensive player after PSG paid €220 million for the Brazilian

Kylian Mbappe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain still remains uncertain with the Parisians set to undergo a lot of changes for the 2023/24 season.

The 24-year-old forward has been PSG’s shining light in a rather underwhelming campaign for the reigning Ligue 1 champions who are set to retain their French league crown.

Los Blancos are yet to reveal how much they are willing to pay but it has been confirmed the Spanish champions are willing to smash the €220million fee PSG paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.

Mbappe who has scored a total of 36 goals this season in all competitions, has two years remaining on his current deal with PSG.

Mbappe favourite to win Ligue 1 MVP

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe is ranked as one of the favourites to be crowned as the 2022/23 Ligue 1 most valuable player, Goal reports.

The 24-year-old forward who won the accolade in the 2021/22 season, has scored a total of 24 goals this season for PSG in the league as the Parisians look set to retain their league crown.

Mbappe will however have to battle top stars like Lyon’s Alexandre Lacazette, current PSG teammate Lionel Messi and Lille forward Jonathan David for the prestigious gong.

Mbappe set to announce his PSG departure

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Paris Saint-Germain is set to face one of its toughest summers since the club was bought by Qatari Sports Investments in June 2011, following its not-too-successful 2022/23 campaign.

PSG is reportedly set to part ways with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi at the end of the season after a fallout with the Argentine superstar, and Kylian Mbappe could be next to depart Parc des Princes.

Former football agent, Francois Gallardo revealed the French star is also nursing a desire to leave the Ligue 1 champions when the season ends.
