The Real Madrid already schedules the next season giving by sure the signing of Kylian Mbappé, to the one who Paris Saint-Germain will try to convince in the weeks to come to remain in France, something that the forward seems to have descartado from the summer of 2021. However, Florentino Pérez can face a serious headache in the negotiations with the '7': his rights of image. Kylian Is one of the most popular players of the moment and, therefore, his production in merchandising is very high, in front of which the 'merengues' would be forced to negotiate an agreement, perhaps, do not give satisfactory for the club.
The 'white' are used to to share the rights of image with his players in egalitarian percentages (50-50), but with the crack Frenchman maybe was necessary to yield a bit more than the usual. Mbappé Invoices 21 million euros to the year with the PSG and estimates that it will happen to earn 25 'kilos' net from August in the 'white House'. Part of this income will come of the rights of image of the player, which include the sale of T-shirts and the advertising agreements with diverse marks.
Today, Kylian is the fifth player in the top of footballers that sell more T-shirts in the world, only surpassed by Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah, although the prompt French will surpass to the Egyptian in the listing. Besides, the player of 23 years already has ensured substantial agreement with Nike and marks like Hublot, EA Sports, Bulk and Good Gout. With this last invoiceed near of 18 'kilos' in 2020. The Madrid already faced a similar situation between 2009 and 2018 with Cristiano and, now, Florentino Pérez will have to slacken his calculator to finish to convince to the main signing of the club from the arrival of 'CR7'.
However, beyond the 'concessions' that the board will be forced to agree to with Mbappé, it is clear that the striker's signing will be a commercial success for Real Madrid. The media blow of his arrival in Spain excites not only the club but Javier Tebas himself, who is confident that LaLiga will regain commercial prestige with the Frenchman's incorporation. After the departure of Lionel Messi, the competition was 'orphaned' of a world figure, a role that Kylian could occupy from August. Moreover, Tebas crosses his fingers so that the signing of Erling Haaland, preferably to FC Barcelona, also takes place. In this way, 'El Clásico' would resume a duel between the two best players of the moment, just as it happened a few seasons ago with Cristiano and Messi.
PSG and their 'blank check'
This week, 'MARCA' announced that the Parisian board would have offered Mbappé a blank check as the last strategy to renew him, but the Frenchman rejected the proposal. For now, the number '7' is still psyched up to perform at his best with PSG and on Saturday he scored a brace in the victory against Saint-Étienne (3-1). With this, the striker has 24 goals and 17 assists in 34 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino's men this season and points to the main challenge of the season, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Madrid. On March 9, the Frenchman hopes to deliver the final blow against what will surely be his home from next summer. Florentino will have no choice but to get his checkbook ready and give in to Kylian's claims.
