Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid have a closed and signed agreement two weeks ago, with which from July 1 the French attacker will become part of "Los Blancos", as "MARCA" was able to confirm. In this way, within 133 days the most sensational football transfer in the last decade will be completed.
The player and the club fulfill their wishes and finally unite their destinies, leaving behind a path that has experienced all kinds of vicissitudes since the summer of 2017. In recent days, one of the most powerful clubs in the football scene has explored the possibility of presenting an offer for the still PSG striker, but the player's circle has informed them that Kylian has already decided to play for Real Madrid.
When the footballer met with PSG's president last Tuesday to inform him that he would be leaving on June 30, he asked him not to present any new renewal offers. The reason was that he had already signed the contract that would tie him to Real Madrid for five seasons.
That conversation took place in an atmosphere of cordiality, because since he made the official communication in June last year that he would not exercise the third optional season in his contract, Nasser Al Khelaifi was aware that his chances of convincing him again were greatly reduced.
At that point, the Qatari sheikh was more interested in his star man fulfilling the commitment agreed in the summer to forgo a sizeable sum, the third tranche of the loyalty bonus, to allow him to rejoin the team first.
The script for this final chapter in the negotiations has been closely followed by both Real Madrid, who wanted to avoid any minimal irregularities that could give PSG reason to protest to UEFA and FIFA, and the player , aware that after what happened in May 2022, he had to "come to terms" with the leaders of the Madrid club and above all with the white fans.
In the first days of January, as soon as his contract entered the last six months of its duration, Real Madrid contacted Mbappe's representatives to find out if the plan agreed in May last year was still valid and there were no changes .
The answer was positive. When 8 months ago he informed the Parisian club by letter that he was giving up the exercise of the third optional season in his contract, Mbappe had already made a firm decision: his destination would be Real Madrid.
After sorting out some financial concepts, the French striker will arrive as the highest paid in the squad, based on his unofficial status as the best player in the world, but on a salary not far off Los Blancos' top earners. , who are Kroos, Modric and Alaba.
Sources close to the negotiations put him on a pay scale of between €15m and €20m net per year, plus goal bonuses over the five years of the contract, following the type of contractual relationship that Real Madrid usually offer their players in " meters", but this point has not been confirmed by "MARCA".
In the agreement that both parties reached in 2022 and that remained unofficialized only in the absence of the player's signature, his salary was an average of 26 million euros net. During the last two seasons at PSG, after his renewal, Mbappé earned 32 million euros net per season (72 million gross).
To this amount must be added the signing bonus, which the player demands for the free arrival, as compensation for the non-payment of the transfer fee. At this point it is worth remembering that during the last week of August 2021, when he still had one season left on his contract, Real Madrid offered PSG a first offer of 160 million euros and a few days later a second offer of 180 million.
The Parisian club did not even respond, which meant that the two entities broke off relations. In the strong agreement between Mbappe and Real Madrid in 2022, they agreed to a transfer bonus of 130 million euros, which has also been reduced slightly. So, for all reasons, and after the amount of this transfer bonus is prorated, the French star's bonus would not reach 50 million net.
