KYLIAN MBAPPE is considering signing a massive new Paris Saint-Germain deal that would put him on the same salary tier as £600,000-a-week Neymar, reports claim.
The hottest property in football has been strongly linked with moves to Real Madrid and Liverpool.

But it now appears PSG will throw all their financial might at the 21-year-old in an effort to make him stay.
And that includes guaranteeing him a deal that would likely see him double his already gigantic £300,000-a-week wages.
That is according to L’Equipe, who say the recently crowned Ligue 1 champions would rather Mbappe go for nothing in 2022 than for a smaller fee right now.
The world transfer market is set to be hit massively as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.
A French politician claimed that Mbappe – who PSG signed from Monaco for £162million – could go for as little as £35m in the current climate.
But PSG’s Qatari owners clearly feel they have big enough cash reserves to warrant offering Mbappe the mega new deal.
If Mbappe were to agree a new deal along these lines then it would in all likelihood make him the fourth highest-paid footballer in the world.
Barcelona genius Lionel Messi makes the most, having pocketed £120m in 2019.
Second is Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo – currently stranded in Madeira – on £109m while Neymar makes £87m.
Currently occupying fourth spot is Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, on £35m.
Real were looking to add Mbappe and Erling Haaland to their squad to create a third Galacticos era.
But the massive financial crash inflicted by Covid-19 looks to have put an end to that.
That could lead to Liverpool trying to land Mbappe on the cheap – especially after Jurgen Klopp put in a call to the striker’s dad.
