An extension would also secure an incredible signing-on figure in the region of £100m, and includes concessions over image rights as well as bonuses for goals, Ballon d’Or honours, and Champions League success.
According to reports, Real Madrid were willing to pay €230m to sign Mbappe on Deadline Day last summer and were also ready to give Mbappe a signing-on fee of £110m and wages of £20m-a-year after tax.
However, PSG, owned by Qatar Sports Investments rebuffed Real Madrid’s offer.
