Kylian Mbappé is not there yet, but it’s already like that. For several years, the Frenchman has attracted the attention of the Spanish media, which has multiplied articles or subjects on the Bondynois. In recent days, they have had something on their side since the 25-year-old announced to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi that he would no longer be a Paris Saint-Germain player next season. If KM7 has not revealed its future destination, it will unsurprisingly settle down in Madrid. After several failures, Florentino Pérez’s club will finally get their hands on the captain of the Blues. But not at any cost.
This Tuesday, El Chiringuito revealed the financial underside of the Mbappé operation. Contrary to what has been announced in the past, the 2018 world champion will earn less money than at PSG. Thus, he should pocket a salary of €14 million net per season as well as a signing bonus of €40 million. In addition, the French striker will receive 100% of the money from contracts signed with his partners before his transfer to Madrid. However, he will pay his club 20% of the income linked to the contracts signed with his new sponsors as a Real Madrid player.
No star will be sacrificed
A priori, there should therefore be no big problems with his future teammates regarding the economic aspect. On the other hand, questions quickly arose about his role and his place within Carlo Ancelotti’s team. For several months, certain media have mentioned possible victims in the event of Mbappé’s arrival. The names of Rodrygo and even Vinicius Jr were mentioned. But Florentino Pérez and his teams were very clear within the club: “We don’t touch young people.” The two Brazilians, but also Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni are not in danger.
But they are not the only ones. According to Relevo, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium do not want to sell any player. No star will therefore be sacrificed to make room for the Frenchman. “If anyone should be worried, it’s the opponents,” we proclaim in the Valdebebas offices. The Iberian media specifies that the Madrilenians need all the players, including Endrick, and that the strategy put in place in recent years had been studied to ensure that a new Galactico could arrive without upsetting the group, whether sportingly and economically.
Ideas on the future game plan
Good news for the locker room, very happy to be able to count on KM7, in particular Vini Jr. Despite everything, the Merengues could open the door for several players including Luka Modric, Dani Ceballos or Fran Garcia. Despite the shadow of Alphonso Davies, Ferland Mendy is still appreciated by Ancelotti. Brahim could bring in big profits if he leaves, even if the idea is for him to continue in Madrid. Little used, the young Arda Güler could be loaned. Real Madrid 2024-25 could therefore undergo some small adjustments.
Relevo explains that the eleven for next season could be as follows: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rüdiger, Davies (if the Canadian signs); Kroos (or Tchouameni), Bellingham, Valverde or Camavinga; Rodrygo, Mbappé and Vinicius. A team that would look great. The Spanish publication mentions a possible 4-3-3 or even a possible 4-2-3-1 if Toni Kroos does not extend his contract this summer. What is certain is that Mbappé will come to play a priori as number 9, since the left side (his preferred position) is occupied by Vini Jr. We could also imagine a two-headed attack with the one of the Brazilians. A headache for Ancelotti, who will have rich man’s problems.
