As the first core of the team, Mbappe has appeared on the bench many times this season, and even Enrique said in an interview that the team must adapt to the lineup without Mbappe in advance, which undoubtedly confirms the news of Mbappe's departure from the side. Although neither Real Madrid nor Mbappe directly announced the news of the signing, but judging from the current news and reports from all parties, Real Madrid is indeed the closest club to Mbappe, and he is also ready to join Real Madrid and fulfill the agreement promised 2 years ago.
Mbappe must have made a certain sacrifice in order to join Real Madrid, which is predicted by almost all fans. First of all, the most direct loss must be the loss of salary, Mbappe got the highest salary in the team in Paris, and the highest salary in Europe, but after joining Real Madrid, he must accept the salary structure of the team, and it is impossible to get a salary that is too high beyond the maximum salary, which means that Mbappe has lost at least about 20 million euros in terms of salary, and if he signs for 5 years, the loss of this salary will be close to 100 million euros.
In addition, according to Spanish journalist Ramón Álvarez, Mbappe gave up a total of about 127.8 million euros in salary and bonuses to leave Paris. The salary and bonus of nearly 128 million euros includes nearly 90 million euros of loyalty bonuses and contract renewal bonuses, which are also a very important part of Mbappe's salary, and the other part is Mbappe's concession in terms of salary, 38 million euros. And all of this is contained in the agreement reached between Mbappe and Al-Nassr last August, and it looks like Mbappe has lost a lot in his final season in Paris.
With a salary of 128 million euros and bonuses, this is almost the income that most players will not get for their entire careers, but Mbappe can easily do so if he chooses to accept a contract extension from Paris. Of course, it must also be noted that although Mbappe has lost something this season, if he joins Real Madrid as a free agent, just the signing fee will bring Mbappe a lot of income, and the 130 million euros reported by the media is enough to erase the loss of Mbappe's last season in Paris.
Moreover, many fans have overlooked the fact that, according to Spanish media reports, Mbappe has conducted in-depth negotiations on his image rights in his contract with Real Madrid, which is the key reason why he is willing to compromise on salary. Every extra percentage point of image rights is enough to bring a lot of income to the player, which is Mbappe's biggest goal, not to mention the close to 80% (50% for ordinary players) required by Mbappe, which Mbappe obtained after joining Real Madrid. Therefore, although Mbappe has lost a short period of time when he joins Real Madrid, most of the losses can be compensated after joining, and if he wins the Champions League and the Golden Ball in Real Madrid, Mbappe can earn more.
