Mbappe was signed by PSG for record 146 million euros in 2018. His current market value is estimated to be around 150 million europs and Real Madrid is the top-most club on the minds of both PSG and Mbappe. But now with almost double the offer from the Saudi club, PSG would be more than willing to go for the offer
Mbappe on the other hand has eyes fixed on a move to Madrid and is willing to sit out the entire eason if PSG don’t let him go on his own terms.
