This is news that surprised absolutely everyone. After five years at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe asked a lot of questions about his future and many already saw him leaving the capital club to join the great Real Madrid. Against all expectations, he decided to sign a new contract in Paris and thus stay a few more years alongside his two acolytes in the attack, Lionel Messi and Neymar. For the time being, all is not rosy for the kid from Bondy, who has sparked a lot of controversy lately, he who has complained about his position in the team.
If he had an incredible last season in statistical terms, Kylian Mbappé finished in sixth place in the last Ballon d’Or, far behind his friend Karim Benzema, the big winner of the evening. However, the 23-year-old player hopes to be able to win this trophy one day and he is now the future world number 1 in football. To keep him in his workforce, PSG has made incredible financial efforts if we are to believe the latest revelations from the Parisian. To keep him, the Qatari leaders released the heavy artillery and the French would have been offered a two-year contract plus an optionala total amount of 630 million euros!
A signing bonus of 180 million euros
In detail, Sergio Ramos’ teammate will touch a salary of 72 million euros gross per year, or 6 million each month, which amounts to 2.7 million net after tax. To this staggering amount must be added a signing bonus amounting to 180 million euros gross and which will be paid in three installments by the capital club each month of July. Finally, a loyalty bonus accompanies this simply stratospheric contract. If he stays at PSG each season until the end of his contract, the striker, who we saw alongside a very pretty young woman during the Ballon d’Or ceremony, will touch a total of 240 million euros.
Figures that make you dizzy and that show the importance that Kylian Mbappé has taken in world football. Having become the highest paid athlete on the planet, the Frenchman never stops breaking records.
