  • The contract Mbappé signed in the summer amounts to the most expensive deal ever penned in sports history
  • Despite making the headlines for his off-field issues, the 23-year-old has been in red-hot form since the start of the 2022-23 season, scoring 14 goals in 15 matches

Kylian Mbappé is reportedly on an eyewatering €630 million gross salary, the biggest ever handed to a sportsperson.

Mbappé opted to sign a lucrative three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain last May ahead of a move to Real Madrid, despite reaching a verbal agreement with the Spanish giants.

In spite of the lucrative nature of his current contract, reports emerged of the 23-year-old's intention to quit the club, owing to a rumoured broken relationship with the top hierarchy of the club.

What are Mbappe's contract details?

As per reports from French outlet La Parisen via Football Espana, Mbappe’s deal involves a staggering €630 million in gross salary by the end of the 2024/25 season.

The breakdown of the contract includes a tripling of his salary to €6m (pre-tax) per month, with an instalment-based signing-on fee of €180m and a €70m loyalty bonus if he stays for the 2023/24 season.

The deal consists of two years with an extra season as an option, which can only be triggered by Mbappé himself. It has no performance-related clauses (Champions League or Ballon d’Or bonuses, for instance) as noted by Get French Football News.

Mbappé could walk away from PSG in 2024

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Kylian Mbappe has a contract clause that would allow the 23-year-old to leave Paris Saint-Germain earlier than anticipated, according to new reports.

In the summer, Mbappe stunned the world by signing a massive £650,000-a-week contract to stay at PSG, at a time when it looked like he would certainly be leaving to join Real Madrid.

During the announcement of the new contract, Mbappe proudly wore a shirt at Parc des Princes with 'Mbappe 2025' on the back.
