In order to convince him to sign, the Merenge club made a historic concession to the French world champion, who, for his part, agreed to make a big effort on salary.

For ten days, the departure of Kylian Mbappé has been recorded at PSG. The Parisian striker has informed his managers of his decision and it should be made official in the coming weeks. Nor is there much doubt about its destination. It seems certain that the Bondynois will sign up with Real Madrid by this summer.

According to certain Spanish media, the former Monegasque has already signed his contract with the Merengue club, a five-year lease with a salary of between 15 and 20 million euros net per year. This Thursday, AS is more cautious. According to the Madrid daily, the two parties have still not found a final agreement.

A windfall of several millions annually

Nevertheless, the discussions would have progressed well. The salary of the French world champion would thus already be known. He should ultimately receive 15 million euros net annually. It’s much less than what he currently receives at PSG but these 15 million will make him the highest paid player in the history of the club

Above all, Real would have accepted a huge sacrifice. The Madrid leaders have in fact agreed to give him 80% of his image rights, which represents a windfall of several millions annually. Unheard of among the Merengues. During the Galacticos days, Florentino Perez never wanted to deviate from a 50-50 split and if he had made an effort for Cristiano Ronaldo a few years ago, the Portuguese had never been entitled to so many considerations.
