    WHAT HAPPENED?

    In a move that has been in the making since 2019, the French World Cup winner is set to finally make his dream move to the 14-time Champions League winners. It has now been reported by the Daily Mail, that Kylian has made a special request to the higher-ups at the club to sign his brother Ethan alongside himself. The report has also suggested that Madrid have already accepted the request and will prepare for a double signing from the Parisians.

    Ethan is only 17 years old but made his professional debut with the defending Ligue 1 champions earlier this season. It has been reported that his signing would initially be for Real Madrid Castilla before the team can judge the player and his level.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Despite taking a significant pay cut, the 25-year-old, who makes £21.4 million net every season in Paris, will earn £12.8 million at Real Madrid this season, making him the team's highest earner. Although Mbappe will not get the same base salary at Madrid, he will receive a substantial signing bonus estimated to be worth over £85.6 million, and he will retain an 80% share of the image rights in any future deals he signs. This deviates from the customary 50/50 split that the club imposes on new members.
