According to sources, the forward will make more than £547 million over the course of the mega-contract.
The 23-year-old made an unexpected U-turn after deciding to join Real Madrid and signed a new contract with the French champions during the summer.
Mbappe will be paid in gross compensation, according to Le Parisien via Get French Football News, making him the highest-paid athlete in history.
According to reports, the agreement contained a number of terms but no performance bonuses, such as those for Champions League or Ballon d’Or victories.
Nevertheless, it is rumored to include a £156 million signing bonus that will be paid over three years in full even if the player leaves, a £ 61 million loyalty bonus that will be given at the end of the season and increase annually, and a two-year extension option that can only be exercised by the player himself.
Only after a scuffle over his future and intervention from French president Emmanuel Macron was the record-breaking agreement finalized.
Mbappe, meanwhile, is said to have requested to leave the club and is planning a January departure after feeling let down by the club’s owners, according to reports.
Since joining PSG for £130.5 million from Monaco in 2018, Mbappe has scored 164 goals in 177 games. He also scored 21 goals in 39 appearances while on loan in Paris the year before the agreement was made permanent.
