Does Real Madrid have the financial capacity to sign the French star? What values are included in signing the contract? Signing the player at no cost will cost Real Madrid a lot.
The story of Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid has become something of a soap opera in recent years. He will go to Madrid, but he won't, as the Frenchman's heart beats faster with his hometown club. The series surrounding the star even prompted French President Emmanuel Macron to contact him directly to ask him to stay and play in France.
The player's refusal to go to Madrid prompted Spanish sports newspapers to beat their chests last summer, confirming that Los Blancos would now be the ones who would refuse to sign the player.
But it appears that the striker's time in the City of Light has come to an end. It seems that the White Club is already ready to retreat, especially after failing to sign Erling Haaland, who is destroying the nets in England and throughout Europe.
The player terminates his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and will come at no cost, but there are several costs that must be taken into consideration when signing him: first, the premium that must be paid when signing the contract; Then the wage during the contract period.
According to calculations conducted in the Spanish capital, and presented by “AS”, supporting Mbappe will require 500 million euros over five years.
The club's first offer has already reached the Frenchman: 25 million euros net per season, and a contract until 2030. But the value could reach 35 million euros, according to the program “El Chiringuito”.
Currently, the player receives €200 million a year from image rights alone, mainly from his main sponsor, Nike.
Once signed, Mbappe could receive €120 million, of which €90 million would go to Paris Saint-Germain. However, the value is much lower than the €200 million that Real Madrid offered to Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.
German Toni Kroos is the highest paid (24 million), followed by David Alaba and Luca Modred (22 million each), according to The Economista. Youngsters Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior receive a salary of 20 million each.
How will Real Madrid finance him?
At the moment, Real Madrid have €128 million in cash, a further €265 million in credits to use, and managed to reduce their wage bill by €78 million in the last financial year.
In the club's accounts, with the renovation of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the club will raise 317 million euros, compared to the current 150 million.
The club has a current efficiency ratio of 54% (which measures the club's total spending on staff compared to total revenue, if it's above 70% it's a 'red light'): Last season, Real Madrid scored 72%, but mostly. In the latest accounts, it recorded 54% (revenues of 843 million versus employee expenses of 452 million).
There was a decrease in payroll costs, but total revenues also increased by 17%.
The salaries of first-team players and coaches fell by 78 million to 326 million between 2022 and 2023.
The departure of many stars in recent years has helped reduce the wage bill: such as Hazard (30 million total per season), Benzema (30 million), Asensio (16 million), Mariano (8 million), or Marcelo, Isco or Bale. Modric is also expected to leave the club at the end of this season.
Already in Paris, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will use the 200 million he will save with Mbappe to strengthen the team and stimulate his plan to have PSG without Galacticos, a change in strategy after a club full of stars like Mbappe, Neymar or Ibrahimovic.
Where can Mbappe go for money?
In addition to his salary, the French player will receive a “signing fee”, which is a bonus when he signs the contract.
After that, you may be entitled to a “loyalty bonus”, which is a reward for staying at the club over several years, and you always get a bonus for staying, according to Marca.
Thirdly, you can also charge a fee for achieving individual awards (Golden Ball, Golden Boot, achieving a certain number of goals or assists).
Fourthly, you can also charge fees for winning titles, La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey…
Another salary bonus is image rights, which makes sense as a player will always try to get a higher percentage from the club for being one of the main stars.
Furthermore, you can earn a commission for playing at friendly parties.
