Especially since these last few weeks have not been easy, neither for him nor for his entourage. If the player dreamed of wearing the merengue jersey, the negotiations were not so simple.

As indicated RelevoMbappé wanted to have more control over his image rights. That is to say, to receive a significant share of the revenues linked to the use of his name or image, as advertising campaigns can be for a sponsor. Real Madrid is used to doing 50/50 with players, but as the media indicates, for the Frenchman, it will be more of an amount between 60% and 70% in favor of the player.
