The summer transfer window in European football is set to be turbulent, as French superstar Kylian Mbappe has announced his departure at the end of the season ahead of the final home game in Ligue 1 in Paris this weekend. This time, Mbappe himself announced that this game was a farewell game, which means that everything has become a foregone conclusion, and only the official announcement of joining Real Madrid in the summer window is left. Mbappe is no longer young at 25 years old, he has earned enough money, it is time to think about his dreams, and if he goes to Real Madrid in a few years, he may not stay for a few years before his form begins to decline.
After Mbappe announced his departure from Paris, several media outlets confirmed that his next stop was Real Madrid. Although it is a visa-free franchise, Real Madrid will definitely give a certain signing fee, and it is understood that the signing fee is as high as 150 million euros. Although the annual salary is lower than that of the Paris period, Mbappe will become the highest salary in the team for Real Madrid's salary system. It is reported that Real Madrid's salary cap last year showed 727 million euros, but the actual salary is far from reaching this ceiling, which is actually 453 million euros.
Mbappe's annual salary is 15 million, and the signing fee is also included in the salary expenditure, Mbappe will occupy 60 million euros of the team's salary cap every year, although Real Madrid's salary expenditure is still 200 million euros away from the salary cap, and the signing of some big-name stars can also be covered in the salary. Mbappe is certainly not the only big name signed in the summer window, Real Madrid still needs to strengthen in the central defender and wingback positions, if they can be strengthened, then there is basically no suspense in La Liga next season. Barcelona is still paying for the previous leverage, and it will not be easy to turn over.
Mbappe also gave up a lot in order to join Real Madrid, in addition to the high-salary renewal in Paris, the Saudi tycoon team has already sent a sky-high contract. Last year, Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Crescent offered an unprecedented contract with an annual salary of 700 million euros, and in addition to the 80 million euro loyalty award between Mbappe and Paris, he also voluntarily gave up, asking Paris not to abandon and let him leave. Finally, he chose the latter between money and dreams, and the French superstar has also been under a lot of pressure in the past two years, burdened with cynicism such as Love Money and Director M.
In fact, this departure is beneficial for all three parties, and Paris has saved 80 million euros in loyalty awards and priority contract renewal needs, totaling more than 200 million euros. Real Madrid got the star they wanted and gave the team the best point. Mbappe is naturally a dream come true, and at the same time, he can win more and more accolades after that. Mbappe's idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid at the age of 24 and then won 4 Champions League and 4 Golden Balls, Mbappe is now 25 years old, and he must also want to hit his idol's record and be optimistic about this inheritance.
