Paris Saint-Germian has begun contacts to extend the contract of Kylian Mbappé, whose current commitment to the gala entity ends in 2022 . As published on Friday the newspaper "L'Équipe", for now it is a "contact" with the environment of the player, on the agenda of several European clubs, in particular Real Madrid, which has bothered the PSG .

The problem is that the French team remains under UEFA's magnifying glass for not exceeding the financial balance, which reduces its margin when proposing a revaluation of his salary to the player.

According to "L'Équipe", Mbappé's salary is around 20 million euros gross , for the 30 net that his Brazilian team mate Neymar pockets annually. However, the former Barcelonist has a tax advantage because he is a foreigner, which gives the club a higher salary margin than in the case of the Frenchman.

The player considered leaving the PSG after the knockout in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Manchester United last season. However, always according to "L'Équipe", since then his position has changed, especially when verifying that the club's ambition has not wavered and that he has put all the means at his disposal to keep Neymar and sign players of stature as the Costa Rican goal Keylor Navas or the Argentine attacker Mauro Icardi.

The PSG seems upset with the constant interest shown by European clubs over its 20-year-old star. The sports director, Leonardo , made it clear last Wednesday, when he did not hesitate to criticize the coach of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane, for his constant praise to Mbappé.

"Honestly, it bothers. That is not done . I respect Zidane very much, but that is not done. We must not try to destabilize him. He still has two and a half years left on his contract," said the Brazilian after qualifying his team for the eighth of Champions League final.

"Kylian is a very important player for us. He is the best young man in France . He is world champion and he is one of the best players in the world. It is not the time to speak, to destabilize him. We must stop."

Leonardo did not close the door to an extension of his contract and placed the French as a key piece of the club's future project . "The PSG has a lot of ambition for the future and he is a central part of that," he said.

Zidane had assured a few days before Mbappé's dream was to play in Madrid.
