KYLIAN MBAPPE is NOT the highest-paid player in LaLiga following his blockbuster move to Real Madrid.
No star raked in more money than Mbappe over the last two years after he signed a lucrative contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
But the Frenchman turned down the opportunity to earn big bucks in favour of completing a dream move to the Bernabeu.
Mbappe, 25, will earn £26.3million a year - making him the highest-paid Real Madrid star.
But his salary is lower than Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski and Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong, who is the highest-paid player in the league with a wage of £31.6m a year.
Six Real Madrid players make up the top ten salaries with Mbappe accepting a massive pay cut to make his move from PSG.
However he was handed an £85.5m signing on fee upon his arrival.
But if he did not leave PSG he could be picking up an eye-watering salary after being offered £86m-per-year to stay.
Mbappe was unveiled as a Real Madrid player this week and he revealed his delight at joining the LaLiga giants.
He said: “It’s such an incredible feeling to be here, just incredible. I spent endless nights dreaming about one day playing for Real Madrid, and today I’m one happy guy.
“I want to thank the president Florentino Perez, for always having great confidence in me.
“There have been a lot of things going on, but we’ve done it. Thank you very much.
“I’d also like to thank all those people who have put in a great effort for me to be able to be here today, who have done so much for me to enjoy this moment.
“My family are so happy here, I can see my mum crying.
“Now I have another dream. That’s a dream of living up to this club’s history.
“I can promise that I will give it my all for this club and for this badge.
“I’m very excited. The fact that I’m talking so much means that it’s important for me to be here today.
“This is the club of my dreams and the biggest club in the history of world football. Hala Madrid.”
