Contrary to what the Spanish press claims, Kylian Mbappé has not yet signed for Real Madrid. There remains a thorny detail.
No, Kylian Mbappé has not committed to Real Madrid. According to L’Equipe, he has not yet put pen to paper on his contract. No agreement has been officially reached yet. Additional discussions, particularly regarding the distribution of image rights, are still necessary before any finalization.
“In the entourage of the Spanish capital club, it is explained that nothing has been signed yet but that negotiations are progressing very well, while specifying that a few points still need to be refined. The same sentiment is echoed from France. A total agreement – the main outlines of the future contract, likely to be for at least 5 years, have been established – should not be long in coming,” assures L’Equipe.
“One element fuels the idea that discussions are not yet complete: the distribution of the player’s image rights with his new employer. Mbappé’s advisers, including his mother Fayza Lamari, have made it a major parameter in the discussions with Real Madrid, aware of the international dimension taken by the 2018 World Cup champion and the prospects ahead by associating him with the biggest club in the world.”
