Without such a distribution of earnings, the superstar wouldn't even join the European champions

Kylian Mbappe has signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid and his debut will have to wait until the end of the European Championship. However, he has already started earning money in Madrid.

According to the Spanish media, Real Madrid is about to release a new jersey with Mbappe's surname and number 9 in the back. The price will be 117 euros (KSh 16,600). And it is expected to earn - millions. As was the case when Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Ronaldo joined Real Madrid...

Since Florentino Perez became the president of Madrid, the rule is that the profit from the sale of jerseys is divided 50-50% between the club and the player. Such a rule was changed only once and that was because of Cristiano Ronaldo, because otherwise Los Blancos would not be able to pay the Portuguese.

And now, history repeats itself with Mbappe for the same reason.

He agreed to a salary twice as low as he had at Paris Saint-Germain, but he will, therefore, receive 80% of the money earned from the sale of jerseys. No one doubts that it will pay off handsomely.

To put things into perspective, it will be difficult for someone to "steal" Erling Haaland from Manchester City, because he earns 100 percent of the profit from the sale of his jerseys. Few people would agree to such a thing.

It is interesting that Endrick, a Brazilian kid who has yet to join the Royals, already has a 50-50% deal on the sale of jerseys with the Royal Club.

When it comes to Mbappe, he will play his first season at Real with the number nine on his back, and then will take over Modric's 10. This indirectly confirms that the next season will definitely be Modric's last in Madrid.
