At the top of the salary scale at Paris Saint-Germain, after its extension in 2022, Kylian Mbappé is also at Real Madrid. The contract signed by the French striker, upon his arrival at the Merengues this summer, should allow him to receive 36 million euros gross per year, bonus included, according to Ramon Alvarez de Monjournalist at RadioMarca. The Bondynois is ahead of David Alaba and his 22.5 million euros.
According to the Spanish journalist, the Madrid club was able to offer such an amount to the Frenchman thanks to the departures of Toni Kroos, who earned around 20 million euros per season, Joselu, who received two million euros, and Nacho Fernandez, whose contract guaranteed him emoluments of up to ten million euros per year. Additionally, the club saved funds thanks to Luka Modrić, who agreed to halve his salary during his latest contract extension. The Croatian went from 24 to 12 million euros.
