Paris Saint-Germain will try everything to keep Kylian Mbappé. In addition to the sporting aspect, this file is very important financially.
It's go again ! At the start of 2024, the media around the world have only one name on their lips: that of Kylian Mbappé . Officially, the Frenchman, at the end of his contract in June at PSG , can discuss with the club of his choice since January 1. Real Madrid and Liverpool will not deprive themselves of this. The two European big names dream of getting their hands on the captain of the Blues. But as explained several times, the Ile-de-France residents still hope to convince him to stay.
Besides, they want to put all the chances on their side by also shielding his brother Ethan. This will necessarily be important for KM7, but it will not tip the scales when making its final choice. La Cadena COPE also ensures that the club which gives him the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games with France will have a chance of welcoming him this summer. Paris, which wants to move forward hand in hand with him, knows what remains to do. But the former Monaco player will take other points into consideration.
PSG has everything planned for Mbappé
It's no secret, you will have to offer him financially attractive conditions. The Athletic also reveals that the French champions have already established a budget in the event of the Bondynois' extension. The sources interviewed by the British media also specify that the Ile-de-France residents would pay less than during its last extension in 2022. But in the event of Kylian Mbappé's departure this summer 2024, PSG would not be a total loser. Indeed, he is by far the most expensive player at PSG.
This 2023-24 season, the capital club will spend 178 million euros in total for its superstar according to Le Monde. If the player born in 98 leaves Paris this summer, the team chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi risks making colossal savings. This Tuesday, The Athletic assures that PSG would save €40 million per year just with his salary. But it may end up being more. Indeed, he receives nearly €72 million gross per year from PSG (€56 million net). Forbes also specified that in addition to his salary, he receives €19 million in extra-sporting income, linked to his contracts.
The financial aspect will be important
In addition to his emoluments, the Frenchman was to receive other bonuses. In fact, he gave up nearly €200 million by not extending. In addition to his gross salary, which was to increase to €75 million in 2024-25, his contract provided for a signing bonus of €60 million gross, another loyalty bonus of €55 million payable in two installments and a bonus of 9, €5 million. A nice little jackpot that he will give up on if he leaves. Financially powerful, PSG still has several tricks up its sleeve. Money is one. Real Madrid, which does not want to upset the balance of its locker room by offering a big salary to KM7, must negotiate with him. Especially since other players, like Jude Bellingham, have agreed to lower their salary to sign for Madrid.
Recently, El Chiringuito mentioned a salary of €35 million per year for KM7, with a signing bonus. Several amounts have leaked into the press. The Iberian media spoke of €100, 130 and even €180 million for the Bondynois. Ready to recruit the Frenchman, Real Madrid, which must also manage the payment for its new stadium and its payroll, will not go crazy, despite significant profits. Liverpool, financially solid, has arguments to convince KM7. Paris too. If a departure would reduce the payroll, PSG would lose a lot in terms of advertising revenue and sponsorship. The club has already been impacted after the departures of Neymar and Lionel Messi. Losing Mbappé would be terrible news...
