Transfer Update: Mbappe Set to Become Real Madrid's Top Earner
Paris Saint-Germain's star forward, Kylian Mbappe, has reportedly finalized a deal with Real Madrid, making him the highest-paid player at the club, according to Marca.
Mbappe has communicated his decision to PSG, declining a one-year contract extension and opting to become a free agent at the conclusion of the current season.
Sources reveal that the 25-year-old has inked a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid, binding him to the club until 2029.
Despite his stature as a top earner at PSG, Mbappe has agreed to a reduced salary at Real Madrid, respecting the wage structure established by President Florentino Perez.
While Mbappe's new salary at the LaLiga powerhouse will still position him as the highest-paid player, it will amount to approximately one-third of his current £62 million annual gross earnings.
Additionally, Real Madrid will compensate Mbappe with a signing-on fee below £40 million.
In a strategic move, Real Madrid has negotiated a compromise on image rights, with Mbappe slated to receive around 60% of these rights.
