While Kylian Mbappé is announced to be leaving PSG to sign for Real Madrid, his teammates in the Parisian locker room are avoiding addressing this thorny subject, as Lucas Hernandez confides.
If he has obviously decided to leave PSG to (finally) join Real Madrid, at 25, Kylian Mbappé has not yet communicated his choice to President Nasser al-Khelaïfi and has not spoken to his teammates either. . As a reminder, the trend is at the start, as stated The Parisian last Saturday (like other media before), but nothing has yet been signed or even negotiated with Merengues president Florentino Pérez.
In Luis Enrique’s locker room, we avoid discussing this disturbing subject as much as possible, as Lucas Hernandez confides to RTL: “We try not to talk about that subject. I tell you the truth, we don’t talk about it. We know that there is a lot of waiting behind him, so we don’t want to annoy him and ask him. It’s up to him to make the best decision, for him, for his family and his career. The decision he makes will be the correct one, hoping that he will stay at Paris Saint-Germain with us.”.
Mbappé, a salary divided by two?
The Parisian being picked up by the general media in France and by all the foreign press, PSG is however very disturbed a few days before its round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad, Wednesday next week (February 14) . Especially since the leader of Ligue 1 does not convince in the game, the choices of his coach being singled out by supporters and observers.
In 2022, Mbappé signed a two-year contract with a historic salary of 72 million euros gross per year. He did not activate his third year as an option and, dismissed by his president last summer, he agreed to give up his bonuses amounting to 100 million. At Real Madrid, he should pocket half of his current emoluments (15 million euros net) and the signing bonus should not be exceptional.
