Revealed: The eye-watering true cost of Kylian Mbappe's touted 'free transfer' to Real Madrid - with decision on superstar's PSG future potentially 'days away'

Mbappe's contract at PSG will expire at the end of the season and from this month on he can agree a deal with another club that will see him move in the summer without the French side receiving any money. However, signing the 25-year-old will be a costly venture for whichever club manages to lure him away from Paris.

Real Madrid remain the favourites to sign Mbappe and The Telegraphreports that the France international expects to sign a deal worth at least €75 million a year (£65m/$82m) after tax. Furthermore, he will likely expect a significant signing-on bonus considering he will save his new club a fair amount of money by running out his contract at PSG.

It was recently reported that the forward has already agreed to join the Spanish giants, but his camp put out a statement denying that he has made a decision regarding his future. Mbappe is said to have agreed to inform PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi over his next step before making any public announcement.

Mbappe is free to hold talks with other clubs over a possible summer move as he considers his next move. The report adds that he could be 'days away' from making a decision, with Madrid, PSG and Liverpool all said to be awaiting news on his future.
