The French press recently reveɑled a special clause in the contract Mbappe signed with PSG last summer.
Le Parisien newspaper recently reported that PSG will be allowed to spend heavily in the summer transfer window of 2023 after reaching an agreement with UEFA on the Financial Fair Play Law. In addition, the leading French daily newspaper also reveɑled some information about the contract between the Ligue 1 champion and star Kylian Mbappe.

Accordingly, by agreeing to a contract extension with PSG instead of going to Real Madrid and last summer, Mbappe will receive a loyalty bonus. Previously, this number was estimated to be around 100 million euros, but the trᴜth is more than that.
Le Parisien reveɑled that the signing bonus that PSG gave Mbappe was up to 180m euros. This figure is on par with what the club used to spend to recruit the French captain in 2017.

Notably, this huge bonus will be paid in 3 installments over 3 years of the contract, ie 60m euros each. With a pre-tax salary of up to 72m euros/season, a total of PSG has to pay Mbappe an amount of up to 132m euros each year, excluding other bonuses or distribution of brand rights.
According to Sportico statistics, before Ronaldo signed with Al Nassr, Mbappe was the player with the highest total income in the world in the 2022/23 season. At that time, the striker was only 23 years old.

It is also understandable that the club invested heavily in Mbappe because he is considered a treasure of France. According to the country’s press, President Emmanuel Macron personally called to convince the 24-year-old striker to stay in Paris to play football instead of moving to Real Madrid.
However, wearing the Los Blancos shirt has always been Mbappe’s dream. According to Athletic, the two sides have remained in regular contact this season and are expected to push for a move in the summer of 2024.
Mbappe is still a target of Real Madrid
That is also the time when phase 1 of Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires. The right to decide whether to activate the extension or not depends on the player. If he chooses to leave, Mbappe’s destination will definitely be Real Madrid.
