Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Kylian Mbappe has signed all his transfer contracts to Real Madrid this summer.
The French star’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired this season, and he has the right to join any club for free.
According to Romano, Mbappe expressed his approval for Real Madrid last February, and finished signing all the contracts in the past few days.
Announcement date for Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid
The Italian journalist says that Real Madrid will announce Mbappe’s joining its ranks this week.
L’Equipe newspaper had expected the announcement to be made on Monday, while Spanish newspapers say the closest date is next Thursday.
Kylian Mbappe’s salary with Real Madrid
According to Romano, the salary that Mbappe will receive with Real Madrid is much lower than what was offered to him in the summer of 2022 by Florentino Pérez’s management.
The 25-year-old’s salary will be close to that of the highest-paid duo at the Santiago Bernabéu, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
Thus, Mbappe’s approximate salary will be only 20 million euros, but he has special privileges in image rights, as well as a huge transfer bonus of up to 100 million euros.
The duration of Mbappe’s contract with Real Madrid will be 5 years, and the bonus will be divided over this period, so that Mbappe will receive approximately 20 million euros annually from it.
Details of Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid
When Mbappe suddenly renewed his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022, he called Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and informed him that his dream was to play for Real Madrid. He apologized to him for the step to renew PSG and explained to him the extent of the pressures that burdened him and forced him to do so at the time.
This call was the reason for the continued friendship between Perez and Mbappe, and in this year’s negotiations it was clear that the summer of 2024 is the last opportunity for the player to join Real Madrid, otherwise the door will be closed in his face forever.
As a result, and because of the player’s dream of moving to Real Madrid, he decided to reject Paris Saint-Germain’s huge financial offer and move to the Spanish club this summer.
