Kylian Mbappe: career, salary and ambitions

Considered by many to be one of the best footballers ever, Kylian Mbappe has finally signed a contract with Real Madrid after years of tension! A look back at his career, his salary, and his future ambitions.

Kylian Mbappe: A look back at a career that has evolved

Kylian Mbappe made his Ligue 1 debut on 2 December 2015 for Monaco against Stade Malerbe in Cannes, aged just 16 years and 11 months. He will become the youngest player to wear the professional uniform of the Monegasque club, breaking the old record of Thierry Henry. During his second season with Monaco in 2016/2017, Kylian Mbappe broke numerous records for early goals, such as becoming the youngest goalscorer in a Champions League semi-final against Juventus in Turin.

In May 2017, Mbappe and Monaco won the French league title ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, who he joined on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. This purchase option will be exercised automatically if PSG remain in Ligue 1.

At the end of that loan, PSG paid 180 million euros for the services of Frenchman Kylian Mbappe. This makes him the second most expensive player in history behind his new teammate Neymar.

In 2022, after several months of negotiations, Kylian Mbappe decided to continue his adventure with PSG, and therefore to give up his childhood dream: to play for the Merengue club. Indeed, Mbappe has signed a 3-year contract, thus tying him to the capital club until 2025. But on 3 June 2024, Real Madrid announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe on a five-year contract, following the expiry of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Kylian Mbappe today:

283 club goals (256 for PSG and 27 for Monaco)
109 assists for the club (96 with PSG and 13 with Monaco)
The first and only player in the history of the French championship to become the best scorer and passer during the season (in 2021-2022)
The fastest scorer (8 seconds) in the history of the French championship (August 21, 2022 against LOSC)
7-time champion of France
4x French Cup, 1x Coupe de la Ligue
42 goals in the Champions League (3rd top scorer in France)

Mbappe: Blues number 10

Having never played for France's youth team, Kylian Mbappe was called up to the France national team for the first time by Didier Deschamps on 16 March 2017 for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg and a friendly against Spain.

Mbappe won the 2018 World Cup in Russia with the Blues. He competed there at a very high level. Indeed, the author of four goals and excellent performances, Kylian Mbappe won the "best young player" trophy of the competition awarded by FIFA. He will also win the Nations League in 2021 with France. His footballing peak with the Blues came at the 2022 World Cup, where he impressed the tournament with his talent, becoming the top scorer with 8 goals, including a hat-trick in the final, which did not prevent his team from losing. However, Euro-2020 and Euro-2024 remain the dark spots of a brilliant selection career.

As part of the "blues", Kylian Mbappé played 84 matches for 48 goals. He is now France's third-highest international goalscorer, 9 goals behind Olivier Giroud's record.

What is the salary of a native Kylian Mbappe?

Kylian Mbappe was already one of the highest paid players in the world. However, after extending his contract with PSG in 2022, he reached the real deal. Despite the request of Real Madrid from Florentino Perez, the world champion preferred to stay in the capital club.

According to the New York Times, the PSG forward signed a 3-year contract with a salary of 250 million euros until 2025. He also received a €125 million signing bonus. An exceptional number that has never happened in the history of football. Thus, Kylian Mbappe breaks records not only from the point of view of premature maturity, but also from the point of view of financial indicators.

Note that his old contract allowed him to receive 17.5 million euros per year. The indicated amounts do not take into account advertising contracts and bonuses.

At Real Madrid he just signed a 5 year contract with a salary of €26m gross per season, far from PSG's €72m, however Kylian Mbappe will receive 100% of his image rights which is substantial and allows us to estimate his income at Real Madrid at the level of what he was getting at PSG.

Kylian Mbappé's ambitions

During the press conference after joining Real Madrid, the Bond player, as always, did not hide his ambitions: "The goals are no different from Real Madrid's goals." You have to win titles. Goals, I can't put the maximum, if I have to pass to help, I pass. I want to help and win all possible titles. "Real" remains the favorite, the main thing is to be ready.
