This is episode 3452 of the Kylian Mbappé soap opera. Already this summer, the Frenchman had animated the debates after the revelations about his desire not to extend his contract at PSG and therefore to leave free in the summer of 2024. Obviously, when we talk about his future, only one club comes back with insistence: Real Madrid who still dream of offering it despite the numerous missed meetings between the two camps. And the Spanish club, since the departure of Karim Benzema, needs its star on the attacking front.
For several days, the Iberian press has once again mentioned the Kylian Mbappé file. The Frenchman remains the club’s priority next summer, especially if he leaves free from PSG. And even if PSG seems to have concluded a pact with KM7 to collect the money from his signing bonus, the Merengues are rubbing their hands and above all preparing for his arrival. El Chiringuito also revealed in this sense that the Blues striker was going to receive 35 million euros net at Real Madrid. A fairly “low” salary compared to what he currently receives at PSG: 56 million net. And this figure has just been confirmed by the daily AS which brings some juicy revelations.
Three times more than Vinicius Jr
According to the Madrid media, Kylian Mbappé’s salary has been a subject considered by Real Madrid for several years. With 35 million euros per year, the Parisian star would become the highest paid player at the club by a long way. He would thus earn three times more than the two other highest paid players, namely David Alaba (10.8) and Toni Kroos (10.7). A gap that Real Madrid is not used to offering, renowned for being intransigent on a financial level and which should disrupt the locker room, according to A.S.. As a reminder, Vinicius Jr, an important element of the team, only received 1.5 million per year until his recent extension. It is now at 10 million. But Real Madrid can afford this madness since for years it has been separating itself from the biggest players to balance the payroll. In this sense, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and even Sergio Ramos have left the club.
Also proof that Real Madrid wants to do everything to attract KM7, the club is also preparing to shake up a golden rule on image rights. According to A.S., since the time of Galactics (2000), Casa Blanca has shared the image rights of its players 50/50. This will not be the case with Mbappé who will receive 100% of his image rights. A gift from Real Madrid who are aware of not being able to compete with PSG or English clubs financially. Erling Haaland is in the same situation. Real Madrid has therefore planned everything to attract Kylian Mbappé next summer and the next meeting on November 11 should reveal the available payroll and Real Madrid’s room for maneuver for KM7…
