Mbappé's Signing Bonus Comes to Light, Revealing How Much Real Madrid Paid

The French star has received a juicy signing bonus for his move to Madrid and the details come to light.

One of the most important additions to the Merengue team has definitely been the arrival of Kylian Mbappé as a free agent. The French star has been Florentino Pérez's most recent big bet when making a star signing. The player, despite having a rather poor start, has managed to adapt to become one of the team's main players.

However, there was still a topic that caused a lot of controversy regarding his arrival, and it was his signing bonus. Some pointed out that it was outrageously high, even for a footballer of his characteristics. Nevertheless, it has been revealed that it is approximately 117.5 million euros.

This amount is spread over the 5 years of his contract and can probably pay off with goals and assists. A player who was known from the beginning to have a very high figure when it came to his annual payments.

An Outstanding Bonus

The new Merengue star arrives earning Real Madrid much less than he earned at Paris Saint-Germain, which amounted to 72 million euros per year. However, in terms of the signing bonus, there is a somewhat high sum for many.

Nevertheless, although a rather high annual amount is paid for the player, it doesn't mean that this is his salary, but rather a combination of both payments. This helps Real Madrid not to disburse an exorbitant amount in a single installment and to better manage its economy.

Once again, it is demonstrated that the management has a much better-prepared economic and financial vision than other clubs. For this reason, even though it is quite a high figure, they have not exceeded at any time.

Now He Has to Compensate for It

The player arrived not only to earn a large amount of money but to make a difference at every opportunity he has. We have already seen a small version of the Mbappé that he can be at Real Madrid. However, Madridism wants more from this player and his best version as soon as possible.
