In what is poised to be a groundbreaking transfer saga, Kylian Mbappe is reportedly on the brink of securing a monumental deal with Real Madrid this summer. The French forward, currently with Paris Saint-Germain, is set to receive an astronomical signing-on fee, potentially setting a new world record for such a payout in football history.
Reports from Spanish radio station COPE suggest that Mbappe will pocket an eye-watering signing bonus ranging between €120 million to €150 million (£103m to £128m / $130m to $162m) over the span of his anticipated five-year contract with the Madrid giants. Although the deal has yet to be officially announced, sources indicate that an agreement has been reached between Mbappe and Real Madrid, with an announcement possibly delayed until after the current Champions League campaign, during which Real Madrid may still face Paris Saint-Germain.
The saga surrounding Mbappe’s future, which has captivated football enthusiasts for years, appears to be nearing its conclusion with a degree of subtlety. Following Mbappe’s expressed desire to depart from PSG upon the expiration of his contract this summer, negotiations have progressed quietly, with Real Madrid, PSG, and the player’s representatives all seemingly intent on reaching a diplomatic resolution.
Interestingly, Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid may entail a pay cut, despite the substantial signing-on fee. However, he is poised to become the highest earner in the Madrid squad, with additional benefits such as a share of image rights further bolstering his overall earnings.
