Kylian Mbappe's would-be salary at Real Madrid has reportedly been revealed, with the French superstar expected to earn three times the amount of the next highest-paid player at Los Blancos.

According to El Chiringuito, Los Blancos will offer the France captain a staggering €35 million (R685 million) per season, after tax, in a bid to finally secure his services.
The parties have been involved in a drawn-out transfer saga for the past few years, and it seems the above salary is what the record European champions will have to offer the attacker in order to successfully sign him.
Currently in the Spanish capital, David Alaba and Toni Kroos are the highest earners in the Real squad. The Austrian is believed to take home €11 million (R215 million) annually, while his German counterpart earns €10.8 million (R211 million) a season, so Mbappe would be a massive outlier within Los Merengues' wage structure if he joins on the mooted wages.
According to Diario AS, however, this is a reality the Spanish giants have prepared for given his current earnings at Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappe is believed to be earning more than €60 million (R1.1 billion) at the Parc des Princes, and anything below the mooted €35 million would likely see the Bondy native go elsewhere.
The same report claims that the club has been planning this offer for some time, having capped recent new contracts to a limit of €10 million (R195 million). Vinicius Junior is the most recent example of this, but perhaps the most important steps the club has taken in the hopes of affording the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is getting rid of the massive wages commanded by the likes of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard.

Along with Marco Asensio and Isco, all these high earners have left the club in recent months, leaving fiscal room for Real to financially accommodate Mbappe's potential arrival.
