The Kylian Mbappe saga was finally expected to reach its long-awaited conclusion. However, a new twist in the tale has just popped up. The Frenchman has reportedly rejected Real Madrid for a 2nd time! This has come out of the blue and everyone is surprised. However, a soccer expert pointed out Los Blancos’ recent lowball offer as a reason for this confusion, considering the stature and reputation of the World Cup winner.

The 25-year-attacker is set to be a free agent in the summer. There have been reports that English Premier League clubs are interested with Jurgen Klopp‘s Liverpool being the prime one. Could Los Blancos miss out on their No. 1 target?

‘$13M net’ is not enough to sign Mbappe, brutal truth exposed

Soccer pundits on El Chiringuito have provided a reasonable explanation for Kylian Mbappe’s reported contact rejection. As per Edu Aguire, “Mbappe has a lot of pride.” He further added, “He is not going to come charging €12M ($13 million) net and with a €20M ($21.9 million) signing bonus.” This seems to be a dig at the contract proposal made by Los Blancos recently. Madrid, who spent over $100 million on Jude Bellingham in the summer, is currently short on funds. Hence, their offer didn’t include a massive paycheck! Fortunately for Mbappe, that isn’t the only option.

Moreover, there has been a reported interest from England, particularly Liverpool. With starman Mohamed Salah being linked to a move to the Middle East, getting Kylian Mbappe makes sense. Ex-Liverpool man Danny Murphy echoed the sentiment. He explained, “I think you can fit him in if Salah went. Salah is the only one who really doesn’t have to do the intense work.”
