It’s a soap opera that hasn’t been one since January 7, when we exclusively revealed Kylian Mbappé’s choice to join Real Madrid at the end of the season. Since then, we have also revealed new details on the future of the Bondynois, who will for example have a bonus of 15 million euros in the event of victory in the Ballon d’Or during the duration of his contract. As for his salary in Madrid, it should be between 19 and 22 million euros per season.
And these revelations about the French player’s emoluments are making people talk in Spain. And in a rather positive way, since many expected to see him explode the team’s salary scale. Which is ultimately not the case, since the French player will receive less than expected, and much less than the more than 30 million euros annually received in Paris so far. The Iberian media are multiplying articles to explain that it is a good deal financially for the Merengues.
Real Madrid can recruit a second Mbappé
Even if there will a priori be a large signing bonus, which could well be 9 figures, the arrival of the Bondynois will not put Real Madrid in danger as indicated Relevo. Neither on a financial level, nor with regard to the financial fair play of La Liga, which for example poses so many problems for Barça. Between salary, various bonuses and taxes, the player would cost around 60 million euros per season to the Merengues for Spanish financial fair play. Real Madrid currently has a salary cap set at 727 million euros by the Spanish championship – it is currently well below – and this amount can also be increased without any problem, up to an amount well in excess of 800 million euros.
The good financial health of the Spanish capital club and its good work in recent years would even allow it, according to the media, to welcome a second player of the caliber of Kylian Mbappé this summer. The Merengues could therefore, if they wished, go on the attack for a player like Erling Haaland, and would have no problem registering him with La Liga alongside the Frenchman. This should also put an end to the various rumors talking about players being “sacrificed” to make room for Mbappé, while some media have explained in recent months that the cost of signing Mbappé could push the Madrilenians to sell players like Rodrygo or Vinicius Junior. Very good news for Florentino Pérez!
