As Real Madrid intensifies its pursuit of Kylian Mbappe this month, new details have emerged regarding the Spanish club's enticing offer to the French forward. With the 25-year-old's contract expiring at the end of the season, Los Blancos are poised to make a compelling bid to lure Mbappe away from Paris Saint-Germain.
Unlike PSG, who are awaiting confirmation from Mbappe regarding his future intentions, Real Madrid appears ready to make a significant financial commitment. Reports from the Spanish capital suggest that Mbappe understands the club's financial constraints and is open to a salary closer to that of other players like Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, in the range of €10-12 million annually, rather than his current €70 million per year deal.
However, Real Madrid's offer comes with a twist, as revealed by Cadena Cope. While the base salary is reportedly set at around €15 million per year, Real Madrid is prepared to sweeten the deal with a staggering €60 million signing bonus. Furthermore, they are willing to negotiate on image rights, a departure from their usual practice of retaining control over such rights. In a groundbreaking move, Real Madrid is offering Mbappe 60% of his image rights, which can amount to tens of millions annually.
The significance of image rights in negotiations with Mbappe cannot be understated. During the 2022 saga, discussions around image rights were pivotal, with Mbappe expressing a desire to redefine their management. Notably, Mbappe withheld consent for the French Football Federation to use his image rights for marketing purposes, illustrating his determination to have greater control over his personal brand.
Real Madrid's bold offer underscores their determination to secure Mbappe's signature and reflects a willingness to adapt to the evolving landscape of player contracts, particularly concerning image rights.
