Kylian Mbappe will get a huge world-record signing-on fee from Real Madrid after telling PSG he wants to transfer this summer.

Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid has been making headlines, with reports indicating that he is poised to receive an unprecedented world-record signing-on fee upon joining the Spanish giants. According to Spanish radio station COPE, the France captain is set to receive a staggering signing on bonus ranging between €120-€150 million (£103m-£128m /$130m-$162m) over the course of his expected five-year deal, as reported by Marca. This significant development comes following numerous speculations and discussions about Mbappe’s future, with an apparent agreement already in place between the player and Real Madrid. However, the public announcement of this long-anticipated transfer is likely to be delayed due to Real Madrid’s potential involvement in this season’s Champions League.

Despite the intense speculation and high financial stakes involved in this transfer, the parties involved seem committed to concluding the deal amicably and diplomatically. After Mbappe expressed his intention to depart from Paris Saint-Germain upon the expiration of his contract, the subsequent negotiations have surprisingly remained relatively low-profile. This approach, adopted by Real Madrid, PSG, and the player’s representatives, reflects a mutual desire to handle the situation in a respectful manner.

Notably, it has been suggested that Mbappe may experience a decrease in his salary upon joining the Spanish club. However, his overall earnings are expected to be bolstered by the lucrative signing-on fee and a share of image rights, positioning him as the highest-paid player in the Real Madrid squad. As Mbappe, aged 25, looks ahead to potentially concluding his time in his hometown of Paris on a high note, he will undoubtedly have his sights set on achieving significant success and adding to his impressive list of accomplishments.

With PSG commanding a strong lead in Ligue 1 and holding a 2-0 advantage over Real Sociedad in the last 16 of the Champions League, Mbappe’s immediate focus remains on contributing to the team’s pursuit of notable achievements, further cementing his status as one of the most sought-after and talented footballers in the world.
