On Friday, the newspaper "As" revealed that Real Madrid had reached an agreement with Mbappe, who will take a significant salary cut, with an annual salary of only 15 million euros.
Although it is widely believed in the media that Mbappe will move to Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer window, Real Madrid have not yet announced the news as the two teams continue to play in the Champions League. According to the analysis of "As" newspaper, the two sides have avoided the topic of when to sign a contract again and again, which has become a taboo topic.
Real Madrid are considering when to announce the signing of both parties, and at the moment, they have three dates to choose after the Champions League final (1 June), before the start of the European Championship (14 June) and after the end of the European Championship (14 July). It is worth emphasizing that Mbappe's contract with Paris expires on June 30.
If Real Madrid meet Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, it will make the situation between the two teams very tense, as they did in the 2022 Champions League quarter-finals. At that time, Mbappe reached an agreement with Real Madrid, but he ultimately chose to renew his contract with Paris.
Although no date has yet been finalised to announce Mbappe's arrival, Real Madrid have agreed all the details of Mbappe's contract, which will be signed for five years. At the same time, Mbappe will receive an annual salary of 15 million euros, which is only a third of his annual salary in Paris.
Mbappe will receive 80% of the image rights, which will allow Mbappe to receive the same income as his annual salary every year. After the agreement was reached, Mbappe has informed the French Football Federation that he will not participate in the Olympics. If France reach the final of the European Championship, then Mbappe will not play with Real Madrid on the US tour, but is expected to play in La Liga on time.
