Barcelona President Laporta Reveals Kylian Mbappe’s Huge Salary Demand
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed the salary demands made by Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.
The Frenchman is set to become a free agent this summer but Real Madrid are leading the race to land the Paris Saint Germain forward.
Mbappe’s future has been shrouded in a lot of expectations with the World Cup-winning star yet to make a decision on his future. PSG are still hopeful that they can convince him to extend his contract.
Barcelona showed interest interest in Mbappe in the past, but a move was never really on the cards given the club’s financial situation and salary margins.
According to Laporta, Mbappe wanted a massive salary of €50 million, which would have been impossible for Barcelona to afford in any manner.
Mbappe was asking for €40m or €50m net per season. Not gross, net" Joan Laporta has told CatRadio, as per Gerard Romero, quoted by Marca.
We will never consider signing a player who asks for €50m net. And then they don't win the Champions League. Some players ask a lot but end up not winning the Champions League,"
