'La Reppublica' revealed on Monday the fine details of Kylian Mbappe's big contract at PSG. The French club will pay almost 450 million euros for the most expensive agreement in the history of football.

Kylian Mbappe will stay at PSG. In principle, until 2025. This is when his new contract expires after turning down Real Madrid and penning a new deal which will not be cheap at all for the French side.

According to the Italian paper 'La Reppublica', the striker's continuity will cost the club and the Qatari owner 435 million euros. That is an amount which is divided into three big parts to create the most expensive contract in the history of football. 

The first bit is Mbappe's renewal bonus. The player, who seemed to have agreed everything with Real Madrid, will receive a huge bonus for making a U-turn and staying at PSG. He will get 100 million euros just for accepting the proposal. 

Secondly, the largest amount of the spending is on the player's salary. Mbappe will get 50 million euros net a year, which means a total of 150 million over three seasons. However, this will go up to 300 million through taxes and similar things. 

Lastly, PSG have to pay 35 million euros to Monaco. Few knew about this, but there was an agreement between PSG and Monaco when the former bought the player from the Principality that they would pay Monaco 35 million if he renewed at PSG.
