Recently, a news about Paris Saint-Germain FC striker Kylian Mbappe may transfer to Real Madrid in the summer has attracted widespread attention in the football world. It is reported that Mbappe can get the maximum salary at Real Madrid, which is 15 million to 20 million euros per year after tax, and there are bonus clauses. In comparison, this is indeed much less than Paris's income, even if other incentives are counted, it is estimated that Mbappe's annual income at Real Madrid will not cross the 50 million mark, which is about half of what he did in Paris.
However, behind this, is the motivation for Mbappe's transfer really just money? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the hidden motives behind Mbappe's move to Real Madrid, and take you to understand the true intentions of the French star.
First of all, although Real Madrid has offered a lower salary package than Paris, this does not mean that Mbappe's fortune will shrink significantly. Considering Spain's higher taxes, Mbappe's actual income at Real Madrid is likely to be about the same as in Paris. In addition, Real Madrid, as a club with a glorious history and a top star lineup, will undoubtedly surpass Paris Saint-Germain in terms of brand effect and market influence. Therefore, Mbappe's transfer can be seen as a boost in brand value to a certain extent, which will lead to more commercial endorsements and sponsorship opportunities, further enriching his income**.
Secondly, as a top star, Mbappe needs more honors and achievements in a critical period of his career. At Paris Saint-Germain, despite the team's strength, they have never been able to break through in Europe, while Real Madrid is a team with numerous accolades and excellent results in recent years. Joining Real Madrid, Mbappe has the opportunity to show his strength on a higher stage and compete for more honors, which is undoubtedly a great improvement for his career.
In addition, Real Madrid has a number of top stars in the team, such as Bellingham, Modric, etc., which will help Mbappe to improve better on a technical and mental level. At Real Madrid, Mbappe will need to work harder to compete for a place in the main team, which will help him continue to improve his ability and prepare the French national team for next year's European Championship and the World Cup the year after.
Of course, we can't deny the role of money in the transfer process. But as a top star, Mbappe is more of a comprehensive consideration in terms of career planning, honor pursuit and personal growth when choosing a transfer. Although Real Madrid's salary is less than that of Paris, it can give Mbappe more support and development space in other aspects.
In short, Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is not just about money, there are more complex motives behind it. In the world of football, money is important, but honours, achievements and personal growth are just as important. Faced with a critical period in his career, Mbappe's choice is undoubtedly a wise move. We look forward to his achievements at Real Madrid and become a legend in the history of football!
