It isn’t a one time payment. It’s spread across the 5 years of his contract.
Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
you could say the same thing about any player that joins Madrid. Ultimately it won’t matter, if he wins CLs and titles, it’ll be part of his legacy. When you have a footballing world with no salary cap, that’s the way it is. And all the great players seemingly went to join Madrid.
Haaland will go there eventually.
Hopefully, he'll go there once City are sent down to the Conference League
I’m really curious to see how this will work. He’s an absolute helmet of a boy with an ego that isn’t far off his idol’s, so it’ll be interesting to see if he upsets the Apple cart.
I don't see how they make this work. You have arguably two of the best attacking players around playing in the same position.
People say Mbappe will play more centrally whilst occupying left spaces, but he's not Benzema. He's most effective on the left with space around him. Benzema was a striker that could drift if needed, Mbappe is a wide player that can play striker when needed, but it'll nullify a lot of his strengths.

I don't watch enough of Madrid to know Vinicius Jr in detail but some who do say he's just as effective on the right. I don't know.
If so then the following will be quite something...
Nordic Ghost Yeti
MBappe --- Vin Jr
Bellingham
Camavinga - Tchouameni
Or it could descend into egotistical infighting.
Rashford maybe?
Finally the most boring soap opera is over.
Imagine making your dream move in any career but getting paid less for it. A bit embarrassing.
Must be nice to be a Madrid fan, eh?
Not necessarily. Many would be fine with getting paid less for a dream job. It's not like he's working for food stamps.
It's 10 terrible months followed by a summer of wild celebrations and euphoria
With his signing on fee, image rights and wages, will he be earning less?
Only if it's what they negotiated it. Signing bonuses can be paid however both parties want.
I’ve read from multiple reputable sources saying it will be spread across the 5 years. Possibly even from Fabrizio himself aswell.
That's possible but I'm pretty sure that they have no clue. Since yesterday, I have seen at least 3 different amounts mentioned for the signing bonus, 100m€, 125m€ and 150m€. If they don't know the amount what are the chances that they know the structure?
Than at PSG? Certainly, yes. But that would have been the case anywhere else, too.
if you change months to seconds then that’s how i have sex.
Assuming the numbers published of his PSG contract, and the numbers touted now are correct? He made more money in 2 years in Paris than he stands to make over 5 in Madrid
And he will still makes way more than actual UCL-winners at RM, when bonuses, sign-on-fee and whatever else we don't know is included.
With Cristiano it at least made sense, he had already done it all at club level, while RM were a laughing stock in Europe, Mbappe comes here when we have already won everything, and he gets status that is not warranted on sporting merits, nor the situation the club finds itself in.
He better lead us to a treble next season.
I know Madrid players seem excited about this in general but given the guy's tantrums on pitch and the ego he comes with, given Madrid seems a very happy and settled dressing room, I'm not really sure how much upside there is to this transfer. That being said, he's 5x the player Haaland is, so, well, lucky them.
Including the sign on bonus at Madrid?
What's that supposed to mean? He shouldn't have admitted or said that?
It’s not even close. PSG paid him gazillions to have him stay (and thereby promote their WC) the last two years.
Cannot believe some Real Madrid fans are complaining about Mbappé's arrival... spoilt fans
Is that a bad thing? I'm not sure when our club can ever make our fans feel spoilt like that.
They have bought the stories the media told them about his preference for money at PSG, when in reality it was way more complicated than that.
Or way easier, depending the way you see it.
Hopefully just a minority anyway.
Seems silly to me that you can't say the reigning European champions and treble holders are the best team in the world.
That would be something I can get on board withImagine PSG winning the CL next year, would love to see it.
Nah I'm sorry but I don't care about his preference for money or pressure or whatever. What I care about is that he rejected us. That's it. I don't want a player like that. We can have Bellingham turn down treble-winning city offering more money for us, and we should be happy for signing a guy who rejected us - twice??? Nah. He's gotta earn our regard now
@JPRouve I don't know about you but I think I'm about to find my love back for Kyky
I honestly believe he will be on his best behavior. He's at a proper club, when he plays for France, his behavior is very good. I expect the same.
PSG gave him way too much power, that was ridiculous
Question is for how long. Didn’t things start off well with Neymar? I fear it’s just a ticking time bomb before he/his camp are gonna start moaning about taking penalties, more money, playing on the LW and whatever else.
Madrid managed Ronaldo really badly
Like I said, if a club enables a player to that extent, it's not surprising the end result.
Mbappe is very smart, he knows he will be much more scrutinized.
I was not a fan of all the circus around him and then rejecting joining the team twice, only to keep talking about wanting to join us. He could had been more reserved about it and honestly don't think he's that good to be acting like that. He's our player now so hopefully everything goes smoothly but he will need to earn the support of the crowd.
These things are overstated and mainly BS. No one actually knows much about him and what he thinks outside of the field, on the training pitch he is like Henry or Griezmann, they train hard, are sore losers and can turn against teammates that aren't good trainers.
Absolutley. Can spend and spend and the Spanish tax payer will sort you out.
