To make up for that, Real Madrid is willing to let him keep up to 90% of the image copyrights, something that no player at the Spanish capital team has ever had, when even the famous superstar – Cristiano Ronaldo has only ever held 60% of the image copyright.
According to many sources, the agreement between Mbappe and Real Madrid has been signed. However, the player asked Real Madrid to keep it a secret to prevent PSG’s superstars from causing difficulties for him, something Neymar experienced during his final spell at the French club.
