As reported by the French newspaper “L’Equipe” this Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain has committed to UEFA and Financial Fair Play to sell Kylian Mbappé this summer. In exchange for that sale, he will put the French striker’s salary and bonuses into his accounts. If Mbappé leaves at the end of his contract in 2024, PSG would be in a very difficult financial situation.

The summary of the novel
Everything indicates that Mbappé will not renew at PSG when his contract expires in June 2024. In other words, next summer he could go to Real Madrid for free. The first question that appears is the following: Is Real Madrid prepared to wait a season for the striker? The second question, no less important: Will PSG let one of world football’s biggest stars go for free?
Numbers and more numbers…
Real Madrid are waiting for the moment because they have already played their chips. The white club could now offer up to 200 million euros for the Frenchman: he would immediately invest around 140 million and distribute another 60 in bonuses. Florentino Pérez, president of the merengue institution, does not want to deviate from that figure this European summer. If no agreement is reached, we will wait until January.
A fidelity premium, the obstacle that slows down the operation
Mbappé’s current contract with PSG has a loyalty bonus. The France international will receive 70 million euros for completing his first year as stipulated in the contract. If it continues until June 2024, it will bring in another 80 milliona figure he would give up if he left the capital of France.
