Specifically, Mbappe demands to receive 35 million euros in after-tax salary each year at Real Madrid, equivalent to more than 670,000 euros/week – a sky-high number. In addition, the 24-year-old striker also wants to receive 100 million euros in bribery fee to sign the contract. All of this is said to have made Real Madrid decide to withdraw.

Last summer, there was information that Liverpool was targeting Mbappe but nothing progressed. However, with Real Madrid giving up, this is a good opportunity for The Reds to recruit Mbappe. Premier League representatives are completely capable of carrying out this blockbuster deal, if they sell Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia.

In the January 2024 transfer window, Saudi Arabia will likely return to ask to buy Salah, and if sold at a good price, Liverpool can use this money to invest in Mbappe. Last summer, Saudi Arabia asked to buy Salah for 230 million euros, but Liverpool refused to sell.

Now may be the time for the Anfield team to think again if a second chance appears, because after all, Salah is 31 years old and on the other side of his career slope. Liverpool needs a new star to lead the charge, and Mbappe is capable of taking on this important responsibility in place of Salah.
