Will Mbappe tear down Real Madrid? He is not James, and there are hidden dangers in buying him by the giants

A year ago, when the famous journalist Balag broke the news that Mbappe would not be coming to the Bernabeu, he said: "Mbappe is very smart, his team is extremely good at marketing. He is following the example of James in the NBA and let us witness the birth of a new king. ”

A year later, when Mbappe informed Paris in writing that he would not activate the one-year contract extension, Rioro, a well-known RMC reporter, said: "Mbappe is an extreme individualist, his idol is James, and it is difficult for Paris to accept such a player. ”

01. Although every sentence is good, it is helpless to contradict itself

From "I want to leave a transfer fee for Paris" to "I will stay in Paris next season"

In 2021, Mbappe publicly stated that he had submitted an application to Paris Saint-Germain to leave the team, reasoning: "I hope that Paris can get a transfer fee to bring in a high-quality replacement." ”

However, Paris did not give up, and after refusing to sell him to Real Madrid, Mbappe accepted a sky-high contract extension from Paris and ultimately did not travel to the Bernabeu.

Two years later, Mbappe informed Paris in writing that he would not enforce the terms of the renewal. When a number of media thought he would be likely to transfer, Mbappe publicly posted on social platforms.

He made it clear that claims of his summer window move to Real Madrid were "lies" and reiterated that "I will remain at Paris Saint-Germain next season and I am very happy. ”

b. The total value of the three-year contract is 630 million euros: how much will Mbappé give up?

Some people say that Mbappe wants to force Paris to release him, because after he does not renew his contract, if the summer window does not leave, Mbappe will be free, and Paris will be empty.

But judging from Mbappé's attitude, he may really "want" to stay, because Paris has given too much. The total value of this three-year contract reached 630 million yuan (300 million annual salary and portrait rights income for 300 million years + 180 million signing fees + 150 million loyalty bonuses), surpassing Messi's four-year contract worth 550 million euros from 2017 to 2021 and becoming the highest in sports history.

Mbappe stays in Paris this summer and will receive an annual salary of €70 million and a €60 million signing fee (€180 million over three years), in addition to an annual salary of 100 million and image rights.

At the same time, without the option of renewing his contract for the third year, Mbappe will lose at least 100 million annual salary and image rights earnings, as well as a second loyalty bonus of 80 million euros. It is uncertain whether Mbappe will receive the third signing fee of 60 million euros.

02. Do Real Madrid really dare to ask for Mbappe? There may be a risk of "breaking up the team"

Mbappe to Real Madrid: how much can he get a salary cut?

One year ago, in order to get Mbappe, who was about to become a free agent, Real Madrid gave an annual salary of 30 million euros + a floating bonus of 10 million euros.

At the same time, Mbappe's father and agent were promised a total of 60 million to 80 million euros in signing fees and commissions.

After a year, if Mbappe gives up his second and third years in Paris, will Real Madrid make up for Mbappe's financial losses and try to get as close as possible to his contract income in Paris? Or is Mbappe willing to take a huge salary cut and come to Real Madrid smoothly?

Loyalty bonuses are only triggered after staying in the team in the second and third years, and Mbappe has only taken €160 million in the first year of the three-year contract. Just one more year of play, you can get at least 230 million euros (240 million in the final year).

Especially if you come to Real Madrid this summer, you will have to pay a sky-high transfer fee. This figure will certainly surpass Eden Hazard and Bellingham, perhaps closer to 200 million euros.

The price of this, I am afraid that even if Real Madrid has money, it may not be able to reach a consensus. Unless Mbappe's salary cut is unbelievable.

b. Mbappe could lead to complete disruption of Real Madrid's salary structure

After Real Madrid bid farewell to Benzema and released Eden Hazard, the team's top salary was vacated. Venicius, who got the number 7 shirt, earns between €20 million and €24 million a year before tax (Bellingham's new contract is about that figure).

Perhaps this can be understood that Real Madrid have more potential to give a big contract to a new signing. But there is also a question, that is, how big will the gap between the first highest salary in the team and the rest of the team be in the future?

The future Real Madrid team will be very young, with many post-00s rising stars in the team. If Mbappe suddenly pulls the top salary to an astonishing height, it will be increasingly difficult for Real Madrid to negotiate contracts with other young people in the future.

Even if there is a longer contract at the moment, the players will have emotions and conflicts. Even with Florentino's iron fist, it is impossible to use high pressure on every young person.

After all, "before you arrived, we were already champions of the Champions League"! If Mbappe can win the Champions League in his first year at Real Madrid, it will be a joy for everyone.

If this is not possible, or even the record declines, the negative effects will be great.

03. Real Madrid's future dressing room: Will it be France helping PK South Americans?

a. Striker Brazilian Trident: 2024 is expected to fit

Mbappe has a problem, which is that after he came to Real Madrid, in terms of the location and resource allocation of the stadium, there was a conflict with Venicius and Rodrigo (who can also play in the middle).

In particular, there is a problem with the Real Madrid dressing room, that is, there is no so-called "local gang". Because there are few Spaniards, Venicius and Rodrigo, who joined the team early, will be regarded as "their own children" to a certain extent by Real Madrid fans.

At the same time, in the summer of 2024, Ndrik will turn 18 years old and have a certain chance of coming to Real Madrid.

With Real Madrid's courage to cultivate Venicius and Rodrigo, this time should also give Ndrik a lot of resources. If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid a year later (after all, he has stated that he does not want to give up the 230 million euros the following year), he may face more embarrassment.

b. Can Mbappé replicate the Paris story: defeat the South American gang?

For Mbappe, his first year at Real Madrid is an opportunity and a huge adventure. If he can win La Liga and the Champions League, he can surely become the new first man in football.

Once it fails, perhaps the pressure in the second year will be great, and the internal contradictions will become more and more acute. Can he still single-handedly lead the purge of the South American gang, as he did in Paris? (e.g. selling Venicius, who overlaps his position)

After all, in Paris, Mbappe has found his compatriot ally Kimpenbe, who will be competing with Thiago Silva and Marquinhos for the starting force.

But in Real Madrid, Mbappe's French compatriots are in midfield, and there is no direct conflict with the South American gang, and it is difficult to say whether they can form a joint force.

Conclusion:

The key is that once he leaves Paris, Mbappe will lose the advantage of his local identity, he is just an outsider.

If he can keep winning and winning the Champions League, then he deserves to be king. On the contrary, Mbappe will also pay the price because of his previous dynasty and Qin Chu, which will make the road behind more and more difficult.
