What’s the gist?
Kylian Mbappe has finally resolved a protracted transfer saga, opting to depart PSG and join Real Madrid as a free agent at the season’s conclusion. Despite this move, he faces the necessity of accepting a reduced salary, as Real Madrid is reluctant to exceed their existing wage framework and meet his current €25m (£21m) net pay, which translates to approximately £411,000 per week. In lieu of matching his current salary, Real Madrid is prepared to extend a substantial signing bonus amounting to €100m (£85m), accompanied by additional performance-related bonuses, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

Real Madrid typically claims 50% of image rights from their top players, but in their eagerness to secure Kylian Mbappe, they are reportedly open to a more favorable 60/40 split. This adjustment reflects their strong pursuit of the player dating back to 2017. Although it appeared certain that the World Cup winner would move to Spain last summer, he surprised many with a sudden U-turn, opting to sign a new deal with PSG instead.
