TRANSFER GOSSIP COLUMN: PSG offer Kylian Mbappe £86m-a-year deal to keep France star, Jordan Henderson set for Saudi exit after leaving Al-Ettifaq’s training camp and Man United join race for Lille prodigy Leny Yoro

There are still two weeks left in the January transfer window and if anything, we could be looking at a grandstand finish.

The story surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future continues to have more twists and turns than a season of succession, with Paris Saint-Germain desperate to keep hold of their record goalscorer.

Earlier this month, reports in France suggested that Mbappe had finally agreed to join Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer after a two-year pursuit.

However, PSG have not given up hope of retaining the French star and are willing to put on the table a deal worth £86 million per year, which would almost triple Real’s offer.

Speaking of exorbitant wages, Jordan Henderson could soon say goodbye to his £700,000-a-week salary in Saudi Arabia as his departure from Al-Ettifaq draws closer.

Elsewhere, Manchester United have been linked with Lille and France Under-21 stars Leny Yoro and Viktor Gyokeres could not join Chelsea after all.

Below, Mailsport looks at the transfer rumors on Wednesday morning.
