Small salary but big bonuses : Mbappé takes Real Madrid by storm

Details of Mbappé’s contract at Real Madrid revealed by the Spanish press: the player has managed to make the Spanish club yield.

Kylian Mbappé will earn much less than at PSG. 72 million euros gross per season is what he was earning in Paris in recent months. In Madrid, his salary will be a net 15 million euros per year, which equates to 25 million euros gross. So, his salary is divided by 3…

How is this possible? First, according to information from journalist Pablo Gallego and confirmed by the Real Journal, there will be a huge signing bonus: 100 million euros, spread over a period of 5 years. A colossal sum that attests to the importance attached to the player’s arrival.

A historic distribution that not even Cristiano Ronaldo received… and potentially lucrative. Obviously, these figures have not been confirmed by the player’s camp or the club.
