During negotiations with Al-Khelaifi in the summer, Mbappe also made a binding commitment to relinquish a substantial amount of 70-80 million euros if he were to depart on a free transfer. This ensures PSG’s financial stability even in the event of Mbappe’s departure.
The agreement between them goes beyond Mbappe simply forgoing his loyalty bonus; it encompasses more intricate aspects. The actual amount PSG would recoup depends on the specific timing of Mbappe’s departure and could potentially surpass the aforementioned 70-80 million, although reports suggest it would not exceed 100 million euros. Journalist Ben Jacobs, in a conversation with CaughtOffside, provided insights into the French star’s situation.
According to Ben Jacobs’ revelations, if Kylian Mbappe were to leave Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, he would be obligated to relinquish a colossal sum of money. The determined journalist emphasized that “there is no longer any doubt that Real Madrid is actively pursuing Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer this summer. It would come as no surprise if he makes the move. However, as of now, no agreement has been reached. PSG remаins unaware of Mbappe’s final decision, and he has committed to informing Nasser Al-Khelaifi in advance.”
