After almost two years of speculation and comings and goings, the most media soap opera in world football finally comes to an end. The footballer announced yesterday, by surprise and officially, his departure from PSG. With a video of 3 minutes and 51 seconds, and three days after the bitter elimination in the Champions League, he confirmed what was an open secret: that he is leaving Paris in search of a new challenge.
The next step for Mbappé will be to announce his new destination, something he wants to do when the time comes, and before concentrating with France for the Euro Cup. However, no one doubts that his destiny is in the White House and his announcement could be made days after the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
It will be next June when he closes the door of what has been his home since he arrived from Monaco and heads to the Santiago Bernabéu. After learning of his departure, many are wondering when he will be presented and, above all, what the cost of the operation will be and his salary in the merengue team.
His contract seems closed and several media outlets are already talking about figures, duration or image rights. According to El Chiringuito, the salary will be around 14 million net, he will receive around 40 million in signing bonus. A figure to which objective bonuses should be added.
According to all the information advanced by the French media, his salary will be well below the 72 million gross that he earns this season at the Parisian club. Mbappé’s salary in the Spanish team would be around 26 million euros gross. This would make him, just barely, the highest paid player on the squad, above the 24.4 million that Toni Kroos receives – his contract ends in June 2024 -, the 22.5 million of David Alaba or the 21, 9 million from Luka Modric, whose contract also extends until mid-2024. Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, Madrid’s two top figures currently, receive a base annual salary of 20.8 million euros.
Josep Pedrerol, in El Chiringuito, gave all the keys to the contract between Real Madrid and Mbappé.
The figures of the Real Madrid-Mbappé contract
Mbappé’s contract with Real Madrid includes several financial and image rights components, which are crucial to understand the magnitude of this agreement as La Razón reported:
Salary: One of the main objectives of the white board is not to disturb an exemplary locker room in which young people have been learning from the most veterans and in which Bellingham and Vinicius are now the main players. Mbappé arrives as the best in the world, but at Real Madrid there are two who are fighting for his position and that is why there can be no salary differences. He is going to earn 14 million net.
Signing Bonus: Here is part of the key to the operation. Kylian Mbappé arrives free, that is, you do not have to pay anything to PSG for his transfer, it is a round operation. But in these cases part of that saved money goes to the footballer in what is called a transfer bonus. The summer that was about to arrive, there was talk of up to 130 million euros. But conditions have changed and Mbappé will receive a transfer bonus of 40 million euros.
Image Rights: Real Madrid has always sought to have control over a large part of the image rights of its players. However, in the case of Mbappé, an agreement has been reached that seems to be more favorable for the player. From those around him they studied well the recent phenomenon of Jude Bellingham and the revaluation of his price as a world-class footballer during the months that he has been wearing the white shirt. The more prestige and better image, the greater the sponsorship agreements. No one better than Delphine Verheyden, his lawyer specialized in matters related to image rights that all members of the Mbappé clan give so much importance, to gauge the boost that this can mean for his client. Therefore, everything indicates that the French footballer is going to keep 100% of the contracts he already has, while those he receives for being part of Real Madrid will be divided into 80 for the player and 20 for the Real Madrid.
Duration and possible presentation date: The Frenchman will sign for five seasons and his presentation could take place from July 1, on a date that allows for the tight calendar this summer, with the Euro Cup in Germany (from June 14 to June 14). July) and the Paris Olympic Games (the soccer tournament lasts from July 24 to August 10). Mbappé is very excited about an Olympic event being held in Paris but, from the club – as they have done with other players – they have already warned him that he will have to choose between one of the two events.
