The long-awaited sale of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid is reportedly close, according to journalist Ramon Alvarez. It will be remembered as the most costly transfer in the history of football.
At €222 million, Neymar Jr.’s transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain is still the most expensive in football history.
The Galacticos’ acquisition of Mbappe might cost them about €230 million if the Spanish journalist’s calculations are to be believed.
The position of Real Madrid on financial stabilityIt was said earlier this month that the Spanish behemoths put the club’s financial security ahead of any player signings.
The Spanish journalist does, however, add that Real Madrid is not overly concerned about splashing the dough on his signing.
As soon as Mbappe joins Real Madrid, the Merengues will start making money because the increase in jersey sales and the addition of his brand to the team’s name will ultimately make up for the financial investment the club makes.
As a result, Los Blancos won’t think twice about spending big money to recruit him this summer, even though PSG plans to negotiate through a third party they have employed.
Not all of the €230 million that the Parisian giants would demand in exchange for Mbappe will go into the club’s coffers; instead, some of it is probably going to be used to bribe the player to go.
What are Mbappe’s best options?
His original intent was to sign a free transfer next summer and join the team of his dreams, but PSG’s most recent position seems to have stirred him.

He has no interest in transferring to Asia, and a contract renewal seems improbable, so his only remaining option is to join Real Madrid.
Despite the happenings in Paris, Florentino Perez has been quiet about the situation despite having the cash available to sign the brilliant winger.
According to rumors, he won’t start discussions unless PSG or Mbappe do so in the upcoming weeks.
Things will start moving shortly since PSG plans to approach Madrid through middlemen to tell them of the €230 million transfer costs.
