Four times Salah's salary!Mbappe can't leave PSG because the salary is too high!

Despite the high difficulty of winning the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe, a player of his caliber, has stayed with PSG. Recent rumors suggest he might continue with PSG rather than joining easier paths to Champions League success like Real Madrid or Liverpool. Why can't Mbappe leave PSG? The primary reason lies in his exorbitant salary with the Parisian club.

Mbappe, who rose to fame at a young age and won the World Cup at 18, was expected to become the next dominant force in football after Lionel Messi. However, his professional journey has not been as smooth as anticipated, especially when comparing his club honors to the glorious achievements with the French national team.

Firstly, Ligue 1, where PSG competes, has the lowest international exposure among the top five leagues. Even in terms of European competition points, Ligue 1 occasionally slips to sixth place, diminishing the value of winning the French league. Mbappe, wanting to prove himself on the Champions League stage, faces a challenge as PSG has never won the coveted trophy, despite boasting stars like Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar.

To achieve his Champions League ambitions, Mbappe would need to leave PSG for a team like Real Madrid or Liverpool. However, the delay in his departure is mainly due to the extremely high salary he receives at PSG. For instance, according to calculations by British media based on Mbappe's situation, Liverpool would need to offer a salary at least four times that of Salah to secure his signature. Considering Salah's already substantial earnings, Mbappe's demands make the financial commitment prohibitive for most clubs, including even wealthy teams like Real Madrid.

Mbappe faces a dilemma – whether to sacrifice a portion of his salary for professional honors or prioritize financial gains. The resolution to this quandary will only be known when the summer transfer window unfolds.

It seems that Mbappe's final decision will ultimately depend on whether he prioritizes a better future in terms of football achievements or a more lucrative financial prospect.

My impression of him was that he was a promising young talent, often hailed as a football prodigy with remarkable skills. However, over time, it seems like he has gradually declined or fallen short of expectations.

Ligue 1 has always been considered the smaller sibling among the top five leagues. Paris Saint-Germain's continuous financial backing from Middle Eastern sources has garnered some attention in recent years. However, with PSG now signaling a tightening of their purse strings, Ligue 1 might return to its previous status. Despite Mbappe's talent, his somewhat eccentric behavior and the recent negotiations with Real Madrid have made many clubs hesitant to pursue him.

Go where the money is, it's not necessarily wrong either.

The French Ligue 1 has always been considered the younger sibling among the five major leagues. In recent years, PSG has garnered attention due to continuous financial support from the Middle East, but now PSG is indicating a readiness to tighten its purse strings. This move could potentially lead Ligue 1 back to its previous status.

While Kylian Mbappé is undeniably talented, his personality quirks and the ongoing tug-of-war with Real Madrid in recent years have made several clubs hesitant to pursue him.

It seems like Mbappé has been held hostage by money. When he chose to stay at PSG, it was partly due to a high salary. On the other hand, PSG must have promised Mbappé significant investments to secure the UEFA Champions League title for the team. Being the star player, he would likely have an advantage in the Ballon d'Or race. However, PSG has been disappointing for many years, unable to secure the Champions League trophy, shattering the envisioned success. While Mbappé has earned a considerable amount of money over the years, the club's lack of honors stands out. We know Mbappé's heroic performances in the World Cup, but not many pay attention to his contributions to PSG.

For a player like Mbappé, aspiring to leave a lasting legacy in football, this situation is unacceptable. It appears that Mbappé is likely to leave PSG this summer, as the club cannot offer him a path to further success. Balancing wages is crucial for top clubs, as breaking this balance can lead to financial troubles, as seen with Barcelona. Therefore, if Mbappé wishes to join a club with the potential to compete for the Champions League, a pay cut is inevitable. Considering the healthy financial structure of European powerhouses like Manchester City, not to mention teams like Liverpool and Real Madrid, Mbappé may need to accept a lower salary. Fortunately, Mbappé is expected to be a free agent this summer, and signing bonuses should come his way. However, expecting a salary similar to PSG's might be unrealistic.

Mbappé, as the world's number one player, is worthy of a high salary. The principle of "to the victor go the spoils" applies, and there will always be teams willing to pay a premium for top talent.
