Kylian Mbappe Contract, Salary, Net worth and Earnings at PSG

Kylian Mbappe is poised to become the most sought-after free agent in modern football history. On February 15, widespread reports indicated that the France star had told Paris Saint-Germain he would be leaving the club in June, when his contract expires. 

Mbappe confirmed the news on May 10. Despite some hope among Parisian fans that the player could be persuaded to stay again, just as he was in 2022 when it seemed certain he would join Real Madrid, the star of French football will be playing outside his homeland in 2024/25.

Mbappe's base salary at PSG is reported to be €75 million net per year, excluding bonuses. When his contract, signed in 2022, expires in June 2024, it will save PSG a fortune, even without a transfer fee. Real Madrid's offer to Mbappe is reportedly worth €15m per season, with a signing-on fee worth €150m, payable over five years. He will also keep a percentage of his image rights.

The only clubs that could match or beat his current salary at PSG would be those in Saudi Arabia. Mbappe's net worth, according to Forbes, was $120 million in 2023, making him the third highest-paid athlete for the year. PSG paid a fee of €180 million for Mbappe in 2017, making him the second most expensive transfer in history after Neymar.

While it may seem like a financial blow for PSG to see him leave for nothing, his free transfer could save the club millions. Mbappe waived a loyalty bonus worth at least €60m and, by removing his salary from the club accounts, PSG are likely to be in a strong position to strengthen the playing squad in the summer transfer window of 2024.
