      The offer would completely blow Real Madrid’s contract out of the water with the Spanish club said to be negotiating a £25.8m-per-year deal with Mbappe.
      And it’s not just the amount of money that Mbappe would earn, but also what the contract would do for his family.

      Speaking to After Foot RMC, French journalist Daniel Riolo explained what is so special about the offer.
      He said: “It would be something never seen before, it is something incredible. It far exceeds €100m per season.
      “It will have benefits for the brother, for the family and for the player agency that Mbappe’s mother wants to create.”
      Riolo went on to explain that there is a vast difference between what is being offered by PSG in comparison to Real Madrid.
      He said: “On the one hand, we have an offer to have him from ancient Rome, ancient Greece and the pyramids of Egypt delivered to a player,
      “On the other hand we have something that is normal when we talk about Real Madrid, a deal worth €30m-a-year and perhaps slightly more. It’s a normal salary for footballers.
      “On paper there is a gap [between the two offers] that we have never seen. What PSG are offering Mbappe is incredible.”
      Nothing is decided on Mbappe’s future yet with the superstar said to be weighing up his options.
