Paris Saint-Germain to save 200 million euros on the exit of Kylian Mbappe through unpaid bonuses

In addition to losing their best player, the face of their club, and perhaps the best in the world, Paris Saint-Germain will not make a penny at the exit of Kylian Mbappe, presumably to Real Madrid, as his contract expires. However, the amount of money they will save from their departure will make the bitter pill a little easier to swallow.

As reported by Relief, PSG will save around 200 million euros in total, compromise of unpaid signing bonuses, and contract targets. The loyalty bonus of 80 million euros for this season has and will not be paid, which constitutes a significant part of that savings. The bonuses he would have been owed also comfortably exceed the second best paid at PSG, his own salary set at €72 million a year without them. Even so, PSG is still footing the bill, and Mbappe is due a share of the €130 million signing bonus to sign a new two-year deal in 2022. All in all, the Parisian side will save a considerable amount.

It is rumored that Mbappe's salary at Real Madrid will be somewhere in the region of what Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior earn, which is 12 million euros per year, although he will be the highest paid in the team. It's not yet clear whether his signing bonus will make a much bigger difference. The 25-year-old will also benefit from the so-called 'law Mbappe“, which will save him about 20% in taxes if he invests the same money in Madrid.
