Despite earning less than he did at PSG, Kylian Mbappe is still making a fortune wearing the Real Madrid shirt. Yesterday (June 2), multiple sources across Europe confirmed that Kylian Mbappe has signed a contract with Real Madrid. AS revealed that the Spanish royal team is likely to officially announce this deal today (June 3) or tomorrow (June 4), before the French team plays a friendly match with Luxembourg on Wednesday. After that, Mbappe will join the French national team to participate in Euro 2024. It will only be after this tournament ends that the French star will appear and debut in front of thousands of fans at the Bernabeu stadium.

To join Real Madrid, Mbappe will have to significantly reduce his salary compared to when he was at PSG. AS revealed that the 1998-born forward will receive a salary of 15 million euros per season. The reason Real Madrid cannot pay more is that they do not want to break the wage bill. The club’s top stars, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, also receive this salary.

In return, Real Madrid will exploit 80% of his image rights. In addition, the 1998-born forward will also receive a signing bonus of up to 150 million euros, paid gradually over 5 years. Thus, Mbappe could receive 30 million euros per year in signing bonus alone. Combined with other income, he will have a substantial income comparable to when he was at PSG.

However, it is certain that the 26-year-old star will no longer be pampered as he was at PSG. President Florentino Perez holds tremendous power and rarely gives in to any player. Only in this way can Real Madrid ensure unity.

In return, Mbappe will play for the world’s most powerful team. Real Madrid has dominated European football for the past 10 years, winning 6 Champions League titles. This title is the dream that Mbappe has yet to achieve in his career. In addition, his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or have also increased.
