The Dream Transfer
In a move that has captured the attention of the football world, Kylian Mbappé has turned down the chance to become the highest-paid player in LaLiga, opting instead for a “dream move” to Real Madrid. The 25-year-old French sensation has signed a deal with the Bernabeu that sees him earn £26.3million a year, making him the highest-paid star at Real Madrid but not in the league.
Salary Comparisons
Despite being a top earner, Mbappé’s salary at Real Madrid falls short of Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski and Manchester United’s target Frenkie de Jong, who tops the LaLiga salary chart with £31.6m a year. Mbappé’s commitment to Real Madrid is further highlighted by his acceptance of a significant pay cut from his previous contract with Paris Saint-Germain, where he was reportedly offered £86m-per-year to stay.
A Hefty Signing On Fee
While his annual earnings might not set a new benchmark, Mbappé was welcomed to Real Madrid with an impressive £85.5m signing on fee. This financial gesture underscores the club’s commitment to securing his services and marks the start of a new chapter for the French forward at a club he has long admired.
Mbappé’s Real Madrid Joy
Upon his unveiling, Mbappé expressed his elation at joining the ranks of the LaLiga giants. “It’s such an incredible feeling to be here,” he stated, acknowledging the nights he spent dreaming of playing for Real Madrid. He extended his gratitude to club president Florentino Perez and dedicated his move to the efforts of his supportive family, promising to give his all for the club’s badge and legacy.
Madrid Mansion for Mbappé
Off the pitch, Mbappé has reportedly invested over £15million in a luxurious mansion in Madrid’s exclusive suburb of La Moraleja, positioning him among neighbors like former Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos and Hollywood’s Richard Gere. Mbappé’s choice of residence, a comfortable 15-minute drive from Real Madrid’s training complex, reflects his commitment to settling into his new life in the Spanish capital.
