Paris Saint-Germain apparently started “life without Kylian Mbappe” with Saturday’s visit to Nantes. The great goalscorer played only the last half hour of the game, so even though he managed to score a goal from the penalty spot for the final 2-0, it could be said that Luis Enrique did not rest him for the upcoming duel with Rennes, but wanted to send him a message that in the future he will not be in the foreground due to his decision to leave the club in the summer.The fate of Kylian Mbappe is tied to Real Madrid, and the Spanish Marca started the week with the news that a five-year contract has already been signed, and that the 25-year-old forward will receive 130,000,000 euros for that move alone. The salary amount is still unclear, but Marca’s knowledge is that it will be 26,000,000 euros on average; however the newspaper hedges by stating that there is no confirmation of that figure and that according to earlier information, the figure in question is between 15 and 20 million euros.##NAJAVA_MECA_7881131##Mbappe will be the highest-paid footballer of the Royal Club, but the Madrid-based newspaper points out that his guaranteed earnings per season will not be too different from the currently highest-paid Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior. In addition to the regular income, there are also numerous rich bonuses guaranteed by the achievement of the goals of the five-year contract, which has become the practice of the Madrid club in recent years.Real Madrid’s total annual spending on Kylian Mbappe should not exceed €50,000,000.All of this is a far smaller sum of money than PSG allocated only for the extension of cooperation two years ago, when Mbappe was promised 80,000,000 euros for loyalty, 60,000,000 as a reward for the renewal of the contract and another 50,000,000 euros net for wages. The Frenchman had the option of staying at least one more year in Paris, and it is clear that he could have spent much longer, but he chose to fulfill his boyhood dream and wear the Real Madrid jersey. It looked like it would happen in the summer of 2022, but then he decided at the last minute to continue being a Saint.Kylian Mbappe will earn around half of what he is currently on at #PSG, and he will sign a five-year deal with #RealMadrid. pic.twitter.com/hWXQjMH5xc— Football España (@footballespana_) February 19, 2024 The negative response hit Florentino Perez, however, the president of Real Madrid showed that he did not lose his cool, and that he is determined to create the third generation of Galacticos. Mbappe, Bellingham, Vinicius, Camavinga, Endrick will lead the newest project… The first echelon had names such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Owen, the second was made of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria, Ozil, Alonso…The decision not to give up on Mbappe without another try was influenced by a personal call from the player at the end of May 2022, when he himself turned to Perez to tell him that he would not be coming to Real and apologized.A very important item in Mbappe’s decision to give up more money in Paris is the rights to the player’s image and deed. The people gathered around the great footballer advised him to agree to a smaller financial offer from Madrid, aware that this time he should put sports motives before economic ones, because it will contribute to financial results in the future, writes Marca. Mbappe has a better chance of finally winning the Champions League at Santiago Bernabeu, as well as the Ballon d’Or, and with that, the player’s image grows, which brings better sponsorship contracts. That’s why, according to the Madridian newspaper, only the details of the contract clause that refers to the image and deed of the player are significantly different from the offer made by Real in 2022, that is, the Madrid team managed to lower Mbappe’s demands.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Jose Angel Sanchez – Florentino Perez’s right-hand man and Real’s main representative in these negotiations – received confirmation of this in January of this year, when he contacted Mbappe’s entourage again. Los Blancos waited for the player to enter the final six months of his contract before re-establishing contact so that PSG would not have the option of appealing to UEFA and FIFA. The answer was positive, and the negotiations were soon resumed. The official culmination should be on July 1.Kylian Mbappe is expected to be with the French national team at the European Championship at that time, and he also expressed his desire to represent his country at the Olympics because they will be held in Paris, but it is certain that Los Blancos will think of a way to present their new signing – after what will probably end up being the longest negotiations in football history.
