Officially presented to the Santiago Bernabeu public on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé has already entered Real Madrid history. The French striker (25 years old), who arrived on a free transfer from PSG, set two records in the same day. The first by signing his new contract until 2029, the second by entering the White House grounds.
According to some estimates, some 85,000 spectators were present in the stands of the Madrid stadium to attend the ceremony organized in honor of the 2018 world champion. Unprecedented for a Merengue recruit since his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, on July 6, 2009, the Portuguese striker having gathered 80,000 people that day.
Kylian Mbappé hits the jackpot
The other record set by Kylian Mbappé is financial. According to
Brandthe captain of the Blues is now the highest paid player in the history of the reigning Spanish and European champions. Although he will earn less than in Paris, where his salary was estimated at 72 million euros gross per year, the former Bondy prodigy will not be pitied with his 15 million euros net.
He will therefore earn more than the stars of the dressing room, David Alaba, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr., the only Real Madrid players to receive more than 20 million euros gross per month. Added to this income is a signing bonus of between 100 and 115 million euros, according to the Spanish daily, and image rights. Stunning.
