Paris Saint-Germain faces a significant setback as Kylian Mbappe gets ready to depart from the club, likely heading to Real Madrid.
However, amidst the dismay, PSG stands to gain immensely, saving a remarkable €200 million from his departure.
This substantial sum includes unpaid signing bonuses and contract targets that won't be fulfilled.
Reportedly, the savings comprise €80 million in loyalty bonuses for this season alone, a substantial portion of the total amount saved.
These bonuses surpass even Mbappe’s hefty annual wage of €72 million.
Despite this financial boon for PSG, the club still owes a portion of the €130 million signing bonus from Mbappe’s two-year deal inked in 2022, as per Get Football News France.
While Mbappe’s expected salary at Real Madrid hovers around €12 million annually, the exact impact of his signing bonus on his total earnings remains uncertain.
Moreover, Mbappe stands to benefit from the “Mbappe law,” potentially saving him approximately 20% in taxes if he opts to invest his earnings in Madrid.
With Mbappe’s projected salary at Madrid, he could potentially become the highest-paid player in the squad.
