Kylian Mbappé will reportedly be announced as Real Madrid’s newest player this week, and details over the finances are beginning to emerge as the Spanish giants become a more powerful squad.
Real Madrid won the 2024 UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night at Wembley Stadium. Moreover, the rich are about to get richer as the Spanish giants have secured Mbappé to bolster their team.
Sky Sports News reported the financial details regarding the Frenchman’s arrival to Los Blancos. According to the outlet, Real Madrid is set to announce the signing of Mbappé this week.
He will receive a signing-on bonus of just over €100 million and will sign a five-year contract, earning €15 million a year after tax. With the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s arrival, one former player believes that the La Liga champions will have a run of superiority.
Former French footballer Christian Karembeu spoke on Europe 1 and he predicts a long run of dominance for the foreseeable future now that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is part of the squad.
“If Kylian signs with Real, they’ll dominate Europe for the next five years, no doubt,” Karembeu said. “Just think about their attack: Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, [Federico] Valverde, [Eduardo] Camavinga, and [Aurélien] Tchouaméni. Add Kylian to that mix, and it’s game over for everyone else.”
