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. |
