As Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid nears, his former teammate Neymar Jr. has taken the opportunity to take a dig at the French star.
Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid is an open secret. The French forward is reportedly set to sign a five-year deal with the Spanish giants, with a contract that was allegedly signed two weeks ago. Mbappé is expected to earn up to €50 million net per season (including bonuses) and a signing bonus.
The main point of contention was salary, with Real Madrid keen to maintain a stable salary structure to avoid dressing room tension. While Mbappé will become the highest-paid player on the team, his salary will still be slightly higher than that of other senior players such as Kroos, Modric, and Alaba.
With a reduced signing bonus of around €50 million, Mbappé will receive a total of around €50 million net per season. The next step will be the player’s official presentation at the new Santiago Bernabéu, scheduled for this summer from July 1st, given his busy schedule with Euro 2024 and the Olympic Games.
Neymar Jr. resentful of leaving because of Mbappé?
On the other hand, one of the players who has suffered the consequences of Kylian Mbappé’s megalomania is the former number 10 of Paris Saint-Germain: Neymar Jr. Currently in the midst of rehabilitation after a cruciate ligament rupture, the Brazilian genius liked an Instagram post that criticized the 2018 World Cup champion. The post said that no player should be above the institution of PSG and that the ego of a certain Frenchman has started to spoil the atmosphere at the club. Thus, Neymar confirms what many people think around the club and among the fans…
