"Real Madrid's Pursuit of Kylian Mbappé Faces Transfer Setback"

Real Madrid's negotiations with Kylian Mbappe have hit a stumbling block as they struggle to reach an agreement on his wage package, despite an expectation that the 25-year-old will move to the Bernabeu. Paris Saint-Germain still have an offer on the table for Mbappe, but it's not a significant increase on his current deal, and potential moves to Liverpool or Arsenal have been explored but neither wants to break their wage structure for him. This leaves Mbappe with limited options, similar to what happened with Lionel Messi at Barcelona, and Madrid's recalibrated approach to developing younger players has been partly due to their pursuit of Mbappe.
