630 million euros: they filter Mbappé’s contract with PSG, the biggest in the history of sport

A teleseries was the one that formed around Kylian Mbappé in June of this year. The French striker ended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain on the 30th of this month and was free to negotiate with any other club. The day had been recorded for months by Real Madrid, a team that seemed to have an advantage in taking over the services of the Frenchman.

Everything indicated that the footballer would land in Madrid to sign with the Merengues, however, the story took a turn and the 23-year-old footballer ended up extending his contract with the Parisian team.

In this line, during the current day, new antecedents of the agreement that the striker signed with the state club came out. French newspaper Le Parisien reported that Mbappé had extended his stay at PSG, for two seasons and one more optional, in exchange for the highest contract in the history of the sport.

If the three deadlines are met (until June 2025), the French will receive a total of 630 million euros, a shared figure. As the famous European site indicates, which has broken down what was signed by both parties, the striker signed in exchange for 72 million euros gross per season. Also, a series of bonds would stretch the numbers.

In case of renewal, his signature could mean 180 million of the European currency (divided into three sections). The other three bonuses would be for loyalty. If he does not leave in 2023, he will receive 70 million; if he does not do so in 2024, he will collect 80 million; and if he doesn’t do it in 2025, he will get 90 million. Absolutely stratospheric figures.

Following the announcement of his renewal with Paris Saint-Germain, the striker assured that the contract was not specifically money-related and that he was staying in the French capital for other reasons. On the other hand, there is no other agreement of this magnitude in the history of the sport, which suggests that the numbers have something to do with it.

The numbers far exceed those of Lionel Messi, who held the highest contract to date. The Argentinian, in his last renewal with Barcelona (2017), obtained a total of 555 million for four years.

As the Gallic medium also details, the rest of the contracts that close the summit are those of Patrick Mahomes with the Kansas City Chiefs, Floyd Mayweather Jr. with the Showtime television network and Mike Trout with the Los Angeles Angels.

The quarterback earned 510 million euros in 2010 by signing for ten years. Meanwhile, the American boxer won 456 million Euros in 2013 (with a conversion made on October 22 this year), in exchange for six fights broadcast on the channel. While the baseball player got 432 million in 2019, accepting a 12-year contract, respectively.
