The arrival of Kylian Mbappe appears to be stagnating more and more. The Paris Saint-Germain star is seriously considering continuing at the Parc des Princes so that Real Madrid does not give 50% of the sponsorship rights, as the white club demands.
As explained by El Pais newspaper, Kylian Mbappe’s lawyers were baffled when Real Madrid made them their fourth and final official offer to sign him: €180m in signing bonus, €40m net salary per year, and 50% of profits from image rights.
It is not new that Real Madrid is asking Mbappe for such a condition. Since Florentino Pérez took over the presidency in 2000, he has demanded that half of all the money the club’s players receive through sponsorship be transferred from the date of his appointment. Something that, according to his attorney, completely changed the scenario. So much so that after a month and a half, the French striker is seriously considering a renewal with PSG.
The French star, advised by the image rights expert Delphine Vertaiden, and his entire team of lawyers, estimates that the player’s assets in terms of publicity will currently be about 40 million, and could rise to 70 million. EA, Nike or Hublot are some of the brands already working with the player, but the celebration of the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year is multiplying the companies’ interest in scoring France’s top scorer.
In addition, Vertaydin and Mbappe’s parents admitted that they were surprised because in nearly two years of talks, Real Madrid had not said anything to them about the transfer of 50% of the image rights.
Moreover, they recalled with astonishment that Real Madrid had proposed signing an agreement contract, according to which a fine would be signed if either party eventually violated the agreement. The lawyers saw no benefit from this obligation on their client, who, according to FIFA rules, since January, has been free to negotiate with whomever he wants.
imminent decision
At the moment, Mbappe’s future is completely uncertain, with the arrival of Real Madrid that had been taken for granted for months now appears to be becoming more and more complicated. The player continues to express his calm in the face of the situation, but the fact is that the season is over and the player and those around him must begin to resolve their relationship with the club that Mbappe will play for next season.
