Kylian Mbappe is set to become one of the best-paid players in world football when he joins Real Madrid next season.
Mbappe’s contract at PSG expires in June and he has repeatedly rejected offers of an extension.
The World Cup hero was involved in the biggest transfer saga of the summer in 2021 as he attempted to push through a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The transfer didn’t go through but it has for some months now been accepted that Mbappe will move to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season on a Bosman.
According to Marca, Mbappe will officially sign his Bosman contract with Real Madrid by the end of March at the latest.
What will Mbappe’s wages be at Real Madrid?
Marca claims that Mbappe will sign a six-year contract worth €25 million per year net.
This means he will receive a salary of €150m net during his time at the club.
Mbappe will also be paid a signing-on bonus of €60-80m in order to join Real Madrid.
Thus, in total he will make between €210-230m from this ‘free’ transfer move.
Mbappe was a key protagonist as his current club PSG played against his future club Real Madrid in the Champions League last-16 in 2022.
The Frenchman scored the winner in the 1-0 first leg win for PSG in Paris, before opening the scoring in the Bernabeu in the second leg.
However, a seventeen-minute Karim Benzema hat-trick in the last half-an-hour claimed a famous comeback win for Real Madrid, 3-2 on aggregate.
Mbappe signed for PSG from Monaco in a €180m deal in 2017, joining the same summer as Neymar, who transferred for a world record €222m.
He has won three Ligue 1 titles during his time at the club, as well as the World Cup for the France national team.
