Kylian had reportedly already signed with Madrid but his family asked for this personal bonus to be added to his pre-contract agreement, as per Ok Diario director Eduardo Inda. 

 

Ethan plays for PSG’s U19s and has broken into the first-team set-up this campaign, making three appearances.

Despite losing out in terms of basic wage Mbappe will be paid a sizeable signing-on fee understood to be over £85.6m and will keep an 80 percent share of image rights on any new commercial deals he signs after becoming a Madrid player. This breaks from the normal 50-50 split the club usually imposes on new players.

He is expected to wear Luke Modric’s number 10 shirt next season with the Croatian not being offered a new deal. However, the 38-year-old has reportedly been offered a chance to stay on with their coaching staff.
