Kylian Mbappe is being extremely indulged by PSG and is receiving the highest salary in Europe at the moment. However, the French superstar is still on his way out.
Kylian Mbappe is currently on his way to leave PSG. The 25-year-old French superstar is rumored to have signed a new contract with Real Madrid. Marca says the contract will be announced if either PSG or Real Madrid is eliminated from the Champions League.
But let’s take a look at what PSG has provided Mbappe. According to Transfermarkt, French football’s “Golden Boy” receives the highest wages and bonuses among players currently playing in Europe. He is reportedly earning a fixed salary of up to 6 million euros per month. This figure is nearly three times higher than the second-ranked player on the list, Harry Kane. Last summer, Kane joined Bayern Munich in a 105 million euro contract. The German club also pays a monthly salary of 2.1 million euros to the captain of the England national team.
The next positions on this list belong to two Manchester City players, Kevin De Bruyne (2.02 million euros per month) and Erling Haaland (1.9 million euros per month). This duo has made significant contributions to Manchester City, especially in their impressive treble-winning season last year.
Fundamentally, the top four positions are well-deserved for the amount they receive. As Mbappe is set to move to Real Madrid, he may not receive such a high salary, but in return, he will receive a staggering signing bonus. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 2018 World Cup champion may receive a signing bonus of up to 125 million euros, an unprecedented amount in European football history.
It is quite surprising that Manchester United has two players on the list. Casemiro receives 1.77 million euros per month, while Raphael Varane receives 1.72 million euros.
Clearly, their high salaries are based on their brilliant careers at Real Madrid. However, at Old Trafford, their contributions have not matched the rewards. In fact, multiple English newspapers have unanimously claimed that both Casemiro and Varane will leave Old Trafford this summer.
