Xtra Time Web Desk: Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo on Wednesday confirmed that the club will not stand in Kylian Mbappe’s way if he wants to depart the club, but any bid from Real Madrid for the 22-year-old has to match the club’s valuation. It means the PSG striker will be sold only if certain conditions are met. As per reports PSG has offered 220 milion euros to Real Madrid if they wish to sign Mbappe.
The sporting director pointed out that PSG committed to more than 160m euros for Mbappe when he was signed from Monaco four years ago, having spent a fixed 145m euros for his signature at that time, plus add-ons of 35m euros that should go to Monaco in case of the player renewing or being sold.
In order to recover that and post a profit, PSG would want 220m euros to sell Mbappe this summer. That’s according to Le Parisien, with this figure just 2m euros lower than the world record of 222m euros that PSG paid to trigger Neymar’s Barcelona release clause back in 2017.
Reports emerged on Tuesday evening that Real Madrid had submitted a 160 million euro offer for Mbappe.
