Football Leaks: Mbappe's demands, PSG contract and Madrid interest
The latest leaks have shed new light on Mbappe's move from Monaco to Paris
Football Leaks have revealed the details behind Kylian Mbappe's move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 after a huge offer was rejected from Real Madrid.
The first wish of the player was that he wanted to be the highest paid player in the squad if he won the Ballon d'Or, with a salary worth more than 30 million euros. PSG turned that down, compensating him instead with a payment of 500,000 euros net if he won the trophy.
Another demand from the forward -- also turned down -- was a bonus if PSG ended up kicked out of the Champions League for breaching Financial Fair Play. Mbappe arrived in the same summer that the French side paid 222 million euros for Neymar.
The Paris club also refused to facilitate a private jet for the young French forward for 50 hours a year. In exchange, PSG offered him a payment of 30,000 euros a month to pay for his rent, a butler, a security guard and a driver.
It has also been revealed that PSG paid Mbappe a signing on fee worth five million euros and and a salary of 10 million euros after tax.
Agent Jorge Mendes received five percent of Mbappe's move to PSG from Monaco, which corresponds to around nine million euros.
Mendes didn't receive that money for working with the Mbappe family, but for being an assessor with Monaco in the buying and selling of footballers.
PSG paid 180 million for Mbappe after an initial one year loan. It's also claimed in the leaks that Real Madrid had agreed to pay the same fee -- as well as taking charge of the 30 million euros which would have to be paid on top in taxes.
Mbappe, though, preferred to stay in France, fearing the competition for places at the Bernabeu would limit his minutes.
