As the deal progressed, more details about the contract between Mbappe and Real Madrid were revealed. It can be seen that the reason why Mbappe chose to join Real Madrid at this stage is that in addition to his personal will, the ranking and respect given by Real Madrid are also full. To be able to get so many favorable conditions from such a giant club, Mbappe is indeed the only one, and it can even be said that he is the player with the highest joining conditions in the history of Real Madrid.
Just now, according to the exact news brought by Radio Serre in Spain. Real Madrid and Mbappe's team have agreed on the distribution of image rights. On the basis of the original basis, Real Madrid chose to give in one step further, so that Mbappe obtained 80% of the right to use the portrait, and the remaining 20% belonged to Real Madrid Club. Objectively speaking, Mbappe can get 80% of the image rights is something that many fans did not expect. Because it not only means that the conditions of the players have been met, but more importantly, the attitude of Real Madrid. They are clearly submissive to the French superstar.
Many fans don't understand what exactly is the concept of portrait rights? Generally speaking, there is a distribution of authority between the player and the club. The image authorization of most big team players is not too high, which means that the big head will be in the hands of the club. The club operates with the right to use the player's portrait, as well as some commercial activities to obtain a large amount of income. Especially for a highly commercial club like Real Madrid, the control over the right to use a player's portrait is very tight. At present, no more than 35% of the image rights of the players in the Real Madrid team are held in their own hands.
Club dominance seems to have become the norm in football, but Mbappe's team even demanded 100% of the right to use their portrait when they negotiated with Real Madrid, which Real Madrid refused. You must know that once Real Madrid agrees, then it proves that Real Madrid has completely become a vassal club of Mbappe. The power of individual players is even higher than that of the top, which is obviously unacceptable to them. Even when Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid, he only had 40% of the portrait authorization. Real Madrid was willing to give up to 60% not long ago, which is already beyond Ronaldo's treatment back then.
Mbappe's team may still be dissatisfied, but in the end, Real Madrid made concessions. 80% of the use rights were ceded to Mbappe, which is simply unprecedented. In addition, although the salary contract signed by Mbappe and Real Madrid is not high, it ranks fourth in Real Madrid after tax. It seems that the conditions and specifications of the franchise are not as fierce as Ronaldo and Bale were back then. However, in fact, this is not the case, Real Madrid gave Mbappe a 1€500 million in signing fees. The money will be paid to the player in instalments over the term of the contract.
On the whole, Mbappes joined Real Madrid, and the club paid a huge financial price. A salary of close to 16 million euros after tax, a 5-year contract, and a 1€500 million in signing fees. In addition, he gave twice as much portrait release as Ronaldo that year. It can be said that these terms are indeed a bit exaggerated when placed on a player, and they also reflect Real Madrid's concessions and respect for Mbappe's team. But there is no way, who made Mbappe the first active player, and the improvement that his instant combat power can bring to Real Madrid is too huge. What's more, the current president of Real Madrid, Florentino, loves the French star very much, and he has always believed that Real Madrid's top superstar must be him.
This may be the reason why Real Madrid signed Mbappe at all costs. At the same time, the calculation is calculated in conjunction with the above clauses. Nowadays, apart from Real Madrid, there are probably few clubs in Europe that can honour such a clause. This also shows that in addition to Real Madrid, Mbappe's other giants who are interested in signing him cannot come up with corresponding conditions. The cooperation between the two sides is not only a tacit understanding, but also an inevitable result. So in your opinion, after getting a huge contract, will Mbappe take off with Real Madrid next?
