Kylian Mbappe’s mum travels to Qatar for PSG talks with club chiefs to offer striker £150m to stay for ONE more season
KYLIAN Mbappe’s mother has travelled to Qatar to meet with those in charge of Paris Saint-Germain as the French club aim to keep their star striker for at least another season.
PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is believed to be so desperate for the 23-year-old to stay that they are willing to offer him a £150million signing-on fee.
This is because they want to own him during the World Cup that takes place in Qatar at the end of this year.
The Parisians want Mbappe to sign a two-year deal but are happy to include a clause that allows him to depart after one season if he chooses to.
Real Madrid is the club Mbappe has allegedly set his heart on playing for but a move to Los Blancos may not be happening just yet.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side tried to sign him in the summer but couldn’t agree a deal and this huge signing-on fee may delay the transfer again.

PSG’s current offer includes a £21million annual salary according to journalist Guillem Balague.
He also reports that PSG had already put a £125million signing-on fee deal on the table but are now willing to up it by £25million.
Speaking earlier this month after a brace versus Lorient, Mbappe said: “I haven’t made my decision, there are new elements to consider.”
Spanish outlet Marca believe the fact that his mum Fayza Lamari is in Doha suggests that PSG could be nearing completion of the deal to keep him in France.
