Real Madrid will reportedly be the next destination for Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé. The 25-year-old will become a free agent after his contract with the capital club expires in June.
While Mbappé would arrive on a free transfer, it’s far from free with the salary and signing bonus he’ll command. As a result, Cadena Ser journalist Anton Meana noted that Real Madrid could be forced to part ways with a big name this summer.
“I continue to say that Real Madrid will sell,” Meana said (h/t Le10Sport). “They will sell for €80 million. I can’t say the name, but I don’t believe the club will sign Mbappé for such a sum and keep such players.
“Vinicius, no, I see Rodrygo more than Vinicius. I think Rodrygo has more starting options than Vinicius because Madrid knows that, at the moment, their two best players are Vini and Bellingham.”
Additionally, Cadena Ser recently reported that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner will earn a total of €14 million net and a €30 million bonus. The total value will soar to €500 million for each of the five years the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is at Real Madrid.
Finally, the footballers will have no issue with Mbappé being the top earner at Real Madrid. Still, if the report is accurate, it appears one player will be heading out due to the Frenchman’s arrival.
