This time, the wedding will indeed take place. No further developments are possible in this matter. Kylian Mbappé officially leaves Paris Saint-Germain, France and Ligue 1 after seven seasons spent in the capital club’s jersey. He thus joined Real Madrid by signing a five-year contract. A few days after a 15th success in the Champions League, the Madrid club announced the good news in an official press release published on its website and shared on its social networks: “Real Madrid CF and Kylian Mbappé have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons”. Beyond the explosive sporting promise alongside other stars like Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham among others, the captain of the France team can count on a well-crafted agreement with Florentino Perez for this dream to be possible.
“A dream come true. So happy and proud to join my dream club, Real Madrid. No one can understand how excited I am right now. I look forward to seeing you, madridistas, and thank you for your incredible support. ¡Hala Madrid!”, the main person quickly reacted, while several Real Madrid players and legends followed suit by sending multiple messages of encouragement and welcome. A new historic era is opening at Casa Blanca for the next five seasons since the French international has signed a lease running until 2029. That is, five years with ever higher goals. All accompanied by a juicy salary and golden bonuses. It’s a superstar who arrived in Madrid this Monday, June 3, 2024.
A bounty of 100 million!
The first important element: Kylian Mbappé will be the highest paid player on the team officially for the next five seasons. While waiting for the final figure to be exceeded, his salary has been set at around 15 million euros net (or around 20 million gross in Spain). A figure much lower than what he received at Paris Saint-Germain where the Bondynois had an annual salary of around 72 million gross. With this nest egg, he will surpass Vinicius and Bellingham on the salary scale. The Brazilian receives an amount of around 12 million euros net. The Briton is approaching 11 million euros. This is followed by Alaba (around €12.5 million), Kroos (€13 million) and Modric (€11.5 million), whose total was considerably reduced when it was renewed for this season. Figures relayed by MARCA And A.S.. The Kylian Mbappé earthquake is already shaking the city of Madrid.
But this salary of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid hides several annexes. On the one hand, the right to image. The agreement stipulates that the player will be able to keep 100% of the contracts signed before signing at Casa Blanca and, in those that are closed after, 20% will return to the club. How much will he earn each year from advertising? This is a value that is still unknown but taking recent years as a reference, the figure would be around 30 million euros net each season. This amount will be added to the 15 million salary… and to his signing bonus set at 100 million euros. We must also add the numerous bonuses that can be activated on conditions, including the goals scored when winning the Ballon d’Or. As the Spanish newspaper writes A.S., “a new player arrives at Santiago-Bernabéu and becomes the highest paid of the entire team. A new Galactico for the galaxy».
