UNCOVERED: PSG handed Kylian Mbappe richest contract in HISTORY OF SPORT

PSG striker Kylian Mbappe can earn a world record €630m should he fulfil the three years of the new contract he signed this past summer.

Le Parisien have published details of the arrangement - which is regarded as the richest contract in the history of sport. PSG convinced Mbappe to stay amid expectations he was joining Real Madrid last summer as his deal was running down.

The deal is worth a base of €72m-a-year - not counting the various bonuses written into the agreement. The salary is worth three times his previous wages.

Mbappe has also received a signing bonus of €180m plus a further €240m will be due as a loyalty bonus.

The striker will have collected the sum of €630m gross if he reaches the end of his contract in June 2025, €480m if he packs up after the Paris Olympic Games in 2024 and €325m if Mbappé chooses to leave this coming summer.
