The ambition of Kylian to play at the Olympic Games on home soil (France) proves to be a crucial element of the negotiations. He may be the most independent player in football history to join Real Madrid. He appears destined to be a significant player for the Spanish giants (Real Madrid).

It is because Kylian Mbappe is considered one of the best football players in the world. He is well-known for dribbling, speed, and finishing. Hence, Liverpool and other major European teams expressed interest in signing Kylian. However, Kylian is interested in joining Real Madrid.

According to media reports, Real Madrid has given Kylian a contract deal. According to the deal, Kylian Mbappe has to receive a high amount of £85.5m as a part of the signing bonus deal. He has decided to sign it without informing his current PSG football club.

The reports claim that Real Madrid will not wreck their payment system to recruit Kylian. So, Kylian might have to accept a lower salary than he gets now, which is more than £880,000 a week.

However, Real Madrid would be willing to give Kylian a 60/40 split of the image rights. If Kylian gets 60% of the image rights, Real Madrid will be okay with it while receiving 40%. It would make Kylian even more valuable to the football club financially.
