Kylian Mbappe’s audacious demands have once again come to light, revealing the extent of his expectations should he make the move to Real Madrid.
The French star, who currently plies his trade at Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly seeking not only to become the highest-paid player in the history of Los Blancos but also to receive a signing bonus exceeding €100 million.
Additionally, Mbappe aims to delay his debut for the club until after the commencement of the 2024/25 season, citing his desire to represent his country in the Olympics, particularly significant as the tournament is set to take place in Paris.
This move echoes a similar situation during Lionel Messi’s early days under Pep Guardiola at Barcelona, where the Argentine maestro prioritized participating in the Olympics and returned with a gold medal.
Kylian Mbappe has demanded Real Madrid also sign his brother
However, the latest twist in the Mbappe transfer saga really does take the biscuit.
According to OK Diario, a request was made to Real Madrid for Ethan Mbappe, Kylian’s younger brother, to also be signed by the Spanish giants.
Remarkably, it seems that Florentino Perez has acquiesced to Mbappe’s demands, signaling that the Frenchman holds considerable leverage over his prospective new club even before stepping onto the field in earnest.
While Mbappe undeniably possesses immense talent as a footballer, his ego may need some tempering. Perhaps when he dons the white shirt alongside players like Vini Jr. and Jude Bellingham, Mbappe will come to realize, much like he did at PSG alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar, that he is not always the focal point.
