The media revealed exciting details related to the financial aspects surrounding the transfer of French star Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid.
The French newspaper Onze Mondial reported that the deal, which occupied football circles in the summer of 2024, did not arouse interest only because of the large financial value that the player would receive, but also because of the influential role played by his mother, Fayza Al-Ammari, in completing this historic transfer.
The newspaper explained that “Mbappe” is considered the highest-paid player in Real Madrid, as he receives about 31 million euros annually as his total income. The player benefited from his move to the Royal Club in a free transfer deal after the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which gave him greater negotiating power to obtain a financial contract that is considered among the largest in the club’s history.
The most exciting thing is that the free transfer deal was not only reflected in Mbappe’s income, but rather its gains extended to his mother, Fayza Al-Ammari, who works as his agent. Reports indicate that Fayza Al-Ammari receives about 4.5 million euros annually for her role in managing her son’s contractual and marketing affairs, a number that reflects the influence she gained in one of the largest deals in European football.
These numbers reveal a striking paradox at Real Madrid, as Mbappé’s mother’s annual income exceeds the salaries of a number of first-team players.
The list includes names such as “Raul Asensio,” “Franco Mastantuano,” “Gonzalo Garcia,” “Andriy Lunin,” “Fran Garcia,” “Arda Guler,” and “Ibrahim Diaz,” which shows the large gap between the contracts of the major stars and the rest of the team’s players.
