Kylian Mbappe contract, salary: Net worth, earnings of PSG star and how free transfer could save his club millions

Kylian Mbappe is about to become the most sought-after free agent in the history of modern football.

On February 15, 2024, widespread reports indicated that the France star had told Paris Saint-Germain he would be leaving the club in June, when his contract expires.

While it has been anticipated for some time that Mbappe would not sign a new deal with the Ligue 1 champions, there had been some hope among Parisian fans that the player could be persuaded to stay again, just as he was in 2022 when it had seemed certain he would join Real Madrid. However, it now appears the undisputed star of French football will be playing outside his homeland in 2024/25.

Even though Mbappe will not command a transfer fee because his contract will have expired, signing him will be an expensive undertaking. When salary packages, potential bonuses and other elements are included, suitors may find they have to budget very carefully elsewhere in order to balance the books.

Indeed, getting Mbappe off their wage bill actually stands to save PSG a fortune even though they will not earn a transfer fee for the word's second most expensive signing. The Sporting News explains why here.

All the details on Mbappe's reported intention to leave PSG

Reports have suggested that Mbappe's base salary at the French champions is €75 million net per year, excluding bonuses. His contract, signed in 2022, expires in June 2024.

The Athletic reported in January that when Madrid attempted to sign the superstar in 2022, they offered a €130m signing bonus and a salary of €26m per year. He then went and renewed his contract at PSG.

It's important to note that the figures mentioned represent merely the base salary, excluding any potential additional incentives and contractual
