After several years of approaches, vicissitudes and negotiations, everything seems to indicate that this year the president of
Real Madrid,
Florentino Pérez,
would have achieved the signing of one of the best players in the world for his galactic project:
Kylian Mbappé
.
To the news that last week the French forward informed the
Paris Saint Germain
leadership of his decision not to renew his contract in June, this Monday the publication of the Spanish newspaper Marca was added, which states that he
has even signed his new contract. with the White House
.
The details revealed by the Madrid media ensure that the 'Turtle' will be in Madrid for at least five seasons (until 2029) and with a salary that would make him the best paid member of the 'Galacticos' squad.
Always according to the same media, the negotiation would have been agreed on a salary range between 15 and 20 million euros net annually for Mbappé, plus a bonus for objectives during the five-year extension of the contract.
For the signing to be possible, the Frenchman and his entourage would have accepted a considerable salary drop so his financial remuneration would be
half of what he received at PSG this last season

Mbappé communicated his desire to leave Paris Saint Germain on June 30, refusing any possibility of extending his contract for one more season with the French club.
The main reason would be that since January the player had already made the decision to continue his career at the Spanish club.
What number would Mbappé wear at Real Madrid?
The arrival of the world champion with France in 2018 coincides with a moment of economic strength in the Merengue club that has allowed the signing to be completed without too many problems, showing that in no case was the club going to break its strict financial regulations.
With the addition of this signing, Real Madrid would have a luxury team for next season taking into account that it currently has in its ranks:
Vinicius
,
Jude Bellingham
,
Valverde
,
Rodrygo
,
Camavinga
and
Tchouaméni
.
An issue to be resolved would be the number that Mbappé will use: number
7
is owned by Vini Jr., number
9
is vacant since the departure of
Karim Benzema
- his strike partner in France - and number
10
is the possession of Croatian
Luka Modric
.
Furthermore, it is speculated that the Frenchman's presentation would coincide with the reopening of the remodeled Santiago Bernabéu stadium, thus concretizing Florentino Pérez's most ambitious project in this 21st century.
