Real Madrid have been much more frugal with their spending in recent years than in Florentino Perez's first term as club president, but the arrival of Kylian Mbappé last summer certainly brought the Galactico feeling back to the Santiago Bernabeu, which was packed to welcome him to see. step onto the field.
Mbappe will be the cornerstone of their plans for the coming years, but Los Blancos have plans to make Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham the faces of their future as well. The Athletic says Real Madrid plan to give Bellingham and Vinicius wages similar to Mbappe's in their next contracts. They are currently believed to earn around €10 million per year after tax, while Mbappe earns €15 million per year, which equates to a 50% pay increase.
In Vinicius' case, he will enter negotiations with Los Blancos next summer amid strong interest from Saudi Arabia as his contract expires in 2027. What Bellingham, whose contract runs until 2029, and Vinicius are unlikely to receive is the €100 million signing bonus Mbappe received last summer, which changes the total money he will receive. Nevertheless, it is a statement of intent from Real Madrid.
