Just like with any other prima donna, being responsible for French superstar Kylian Mbappé comes buckets of chaos and pain. “The big amazing moments come from time to time, but also gigantic costs and uncertainty.
Kylian Mbappé sucked huge sums of money out of his former employer Paris Saint-Germain, demanded a loyalty bonus in court after he was disloyal and forced a free transfer to Real Madrid that gave him a €150 million bonus for “coming for free”.
And the salary is undeniable! His base salary is €31.3 million per year (€600,000/week). He can also earn €30.0 million/year in bonuses. His total contract is worth €306.5 million over 5 years. He is the highest paid player at Real Madrid.

But just like with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé is not happy at Real Madrid and is considering leaving the club.
€250 million for Kylian Mbappé
Liverpool have started structuring a €250 million financial proposal to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappé.
According to François Gallardo, the management at Anfield is looking to exploit the disagreements between the French international and the White management, where the player is under contract until June 2028.
The relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid’s management
The striker has expressed to his inner circle that he does not consider the club’s sporting project serious after two and a half years at the club. Despite winning the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup in his first year, the gap grew after the club’s refusal to run a media campaign for the Ballon d’Or before the Madrid derby.
At the same time, Real Madrid’s management is unhappy with the player’s travel during periods of medical recovery.
Mbappé’s scoring records and the Olise alternative
In sporting terms, Mbappé has scored over 90 goals in 110 appearances for Real Madrid. However, the lack of recent team titles has accelerated the willingness of both parties to consider a mid-2027 transfer.
With the player’s potential exit to Liverpool, Real Madrid’s technical secretariat has identified Michael Olise, a striker from Bayern Munich, as the main target to replace him in attack.
Liverpool’s feasibility for the operation in 2027
Liverpool’s management is analysing the feasibility of funding the €250 million transfer – an amount that would make it one of the highest sums in football history. The financial injection would require two highly-paid players to leave the ‘Reds’ squad.
English leaders believe that an offer of a prominent role in the Premier League will convince the French striker to leave Spain. Liverpool’s envoys will meet with Kylian Mbappé’s representatives during the first half of 2027.
If the striker maintains his stance on leaving Real Madrid due to the lack of a solid project, Liverpool will make a strong push to secure his signature and make him the centre of their project.
