According to a report published in 'L'Equipe' magazine, young French forward Kylian Mbappe wants an annual salary of 15 million euros, a sum which would make him one of the most well-paid players on the planet.
It would also prove to be a very difficult sum for Real Madrid to come up with, especially given their already high wage bill. Gareth bale currently earns 14 million a year, Sergio Ramos 11 million, and Karim Benzema and Luka Modric both earn 10 million. Therefore Mbappe's desired sum would make him the highest-paid player at the club.
Mbappe currently enjoys an increase of 1.2 million euros to his salary every year at PSG, meaning his wage for next season will come to 13.2 million euros. As 'AS' adds, the transfer fee alone is frightening. Real Madrid would have to cough up something in the region of 300 million euros to buy Mbappe.
It would be a spending spree only worthy of one of the best players in the world, and there is no doubt that the young Frenchman is one of them.
