The mammoth deal will see Kylian Mbappe become the world’s best paid player. He will reportedly earn around €50 million gross per season. That means that he will pocket a rough estimate of €962,000 a weak and €95 every minute. According to Spanish publication MARCA, the deal will not be announced before PSG’s crucial Champions League tie versus Real Madrid.

As of right now Kylian is full on focusing on ending his PSG chapter with a bang. They will try to regain their stronghold of Ligue 1 after coming second last year whilst also trying again to win a long awaited first Champions League for the club.

Few workers apply for Air Malta’s voluntary transfer scheme, forcing extension

Jan 31 2022

Malta’s national airline has been forced to extend the deadline for the voluntary employee transfer scheme after the total applications sent in came nowhere close to the number of employees it wants to lay off.

Air Malta’s scheme was meant to end its applications by Friday, but employees received an email from Human Resources revealing that the deadline has been extended to February 11th. No reason was given as to why this occurred.

Sources have however stated that the company was not happy with the number of applications it received from workers willing to take up the offer of a job in the public sector. This comes after the government announced earlier this month that Air Malta will be operating with a much higher staff load by summer.

The workforce is set to be slashed from 890 to around 420/430. This is a move which intends to save €15 million per year, with the company aiming to see around 110-120 transferred out of the company to other governmental sectors.

Sources have suggested to Times of Malta that the low amount of applicants could be due to the lack of clarity the employees had about their future as well as the ‘grey areas’ related to their salaries and working conditions.

Sources also said that the government was involved in intensive talks with unions representing Air Malta’s different section of employees over the past week in an attempt to reach individual deals. A spokesman for the Finance Ministry said that agreements had been reached with all unions except for the General Worker’s Union, whose final approval is pending.
