Kylian Mbappé could have earned a lot more if he had joined Real Madrid in 2022, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
Mbappé finally appears to be heading to Madrid after informing Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi of his intention to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. While PSG will reduce its payroll by around 200 million euros per year, it is also losing a major offensive and financial asset.
Mbappé almost joined Real in 2022 before turning around and signing a contract in Paris that made him the highest-paid player in world football at the time, but that is unlikely to happen today. ‘today.
Mbappé’s decision is made
“The feeling is very strong within the Real Madrid board of directors,” Romano said on his official YouTube channel. “They think this time they are ready to shake things up. This is why, a few weeks ago, at the beginning of January 2024, Real Madrid sent its formal contract proposal to Kylian Mbappé, his mother and his camp. »
“They must now move on to the signing stage, this is the crucial moment. The salary offer will be much lower than that proposed in the summer of 2022, and the signing bonus is also lower than that proposed in 2022.”
Romano went on to say that Mbappé will not accept any further offers from PSG – no new contracts, no proposals, no salary increases and no new players signed on his behalf. Neymar’s move to the Saudi Pro League last summer and the subsequent signing of Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona to replace him was widely believed to be at the instigation of Mbappé. As a reminder, the tricolor star earns 72 million euros per season at PSG, without bonuses and other income, while the best salary at Real is currently that of Toni Kroos, which amounts to 24.4 million euros.
