If ever Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid were to sit down to negotiate, the game would not be easy in front of the financial claims of the French striker from PSG.
Never in its history has Real Madrid run so much behind a player without managing to sign him. For the moment, Kylian Mbappé has already rejected the possibility of signing for the White House on several occasions, while he has also made it known regularly that it is his favorite club outside of Paris SG. And yet, nothing is ever easy in this file which seemed to be closed a year ago, before it extended to everyone’s surprise in Paris. Now still under contract for one season, Mbappé has let his leaders know, and in a public way, that he will no longer sign a new contract, and that he will therefore leave free at the end of next season. An attitude that did not please the Parisian decision-makers, who still plan to sell it this summer if it does not change its perspective.

Real Madrid are waiting to see what this delicate situation can give, without rushing given what has happened previously. Especially since having a possible agreement from PSG for a transfer is one thing, but we still have to find common ground to sign the French international. While one might think that the most difficult thing would be to convince PSG to part with their number 7, the discussions with the Mbappé clan about the Madrid contract are complex. It turned out that the Casa Blanca cannot match the claims of the 2018 world champion, and the salary he receives in Paris. According to local newspaper Diario Madridista, fulfilling Mbappé’s current contract with PSG would cost Real Madrid €150m a year, who don’t intend to come close to such a figure. Even Cristiano Ronaldo in his heyday was far from such heights.
Mbappé more demanding than Cristiano Ronaldo
This is why the Mbappé clan intends to draw inspiration from what was achieved between Inter Miami and Lionel Messi, namely a contract with the maximum possible salary, and interest then to be recovered. For the Argentinian, this affects almost all derivative products, and even ticketing, jerseys and events. For Mbappé, it is hard to imagine him asking for a percentage on each ticket sold at the Bernabeu, but the desire to keep a very high percentage on image rights comes up in every discussion, a story that KM7 retains almost total management and control. on marketing and communication. And when we know the firmness of the player and his entourage on such issues, like what happened with the sponsors of the France team, it is certainly a problem that will be put on the top of the table if Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé ever had to talk about a contract.
