Kylian Mbappe may hand £200m boost to PSG amid Real Madrid and Liverpool transfer chase
Paris Saint-Germain are expected to free up £200million in the club's budget if Kylian Mbappe leaves this summer.
PSG are struggling to persuade Mbappe, 25, to sign a new contract. The France international's existing deal expires in June and Real Madrid are leading the race for his signature. English clubs, including Liverpool, will try to lure him to the Premier League.

PSG would love to keep hold of Mbappe, but they are looking positively at his situation. PSG chiefs are trying to build a younger squad - without superstar names - under boss Luis Enrique, having got rid of Messi and Neymar last summer, and releasing Mbappe, it's understood, would free up a figure in the region of £200m in their budget.
The French giants have dreamed of winning the Champions League since Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) bought them in 2011 to make the club one of the richest in the world. QSI is a subsidiary of Qatar Investment Authority, the country's sovereign-wealth fund. PSG have dominated domestically since that takeover - winning nine of the last 11 Ligue 1 titles, six French Cups, six French League Cups (competition defunct since 2020) and 10 French Super Cups. Yet they haven't managed to become champions of Europe.
PSG, who lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the 2020 Champions League final, have spent a fortune on superstars. The likes of Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria were signed in the years following Qatar's takeover.
