Why Kylian Mbappe and Haaland Rejected Real Madrid
Real Madrid has gone from near bankruptcy to becoming the most valuable sports team on the planet. How did they manage to rise to the top of a highly-competitive and dynamic sports industry? And Why Did Kylian Mbappe and Haaland Reject Real Madrid?
Haaland going to Man City has nothing to do with image rights and everything to do with the Madrid situation. When Haaland decided to move, Real were pursuing Mbappe completely and already had an in-form world class ballon d’or winner in Benzema playing in that role. Haaland would have gained absolutely nothing by joining Madrid at that point in time. Although it might be a whole different story a year or two later from now.
PSG pays Mbappe €636 million gross without bonuses over 3 years + he reportedly has a say in how the club is run. Also, PSG’s entire YEARLY revenue in 2020-2021 was less than this: €556. They forecast around €700 million in revenue for 2022-2023.
In contrast, Real Madrid’s highest-paid player is Eden Hazard atm, earning about €160 over 5 years. Real forecast a €769.6 million revenue for the 2022-2023 season and constantly ranked in the top 3 football clubs with the highest revenue in the last 10 years.
Like this year, around 30% of PSG’s revenue is Mbappe’s salary.
Insane.
I will leave it up to you all to decide how big a part this played in him not signing for Real Madrid.

We are breaking down the strategy that made Real Madrid successful – and how players like Ronaldo, Haaland and Mbappé are challenging it today.
The new rivlary is now between Mbappe vs Haaland: Who is a Better Player (the GOAT)?
Why Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland Did Not Sign for Real Madrid in 2022
It is widely reported Mbappe was granted full control of his image rights by Madrid, but PSG offered him a much higher salary and control over the club’s transfer policy.
Why didnt Haaland go to Real Madrid?
On the other hand, Haaland did not sign with Madrid because he wasn’t given a guarantee to start over Benzema. Haaland was also not pursued as a priority target, Florentino was obsessed with signing Mbappe and devoted all of the club’s resources and attention into his signing.
The only reason why Madrid stepped away from signing Galácticos is because Perez soon understood that there is no way anyone can compete against oil money. And at the same time the oil and foreign investment money was creating a huge bubble in football transfers making every player hyper expensive.
Hence they switched formulas and in 2015 , they decided to invest in young players. And this strategy worked amazingly for them. They won the last champions league with a goal scored by Vini jr (bought when he was 16) and assisted by fede Valverde (bought when he was 18).
There is a Tifo football video explaining this. You can say whatever you want but Perez is a genius.
Perez is a Genius, maybe he’s selfish, but for Damn sure he knows how to run a business.
I think Florentino will find another way. This time with bringing in younger players who want to play for the club. Vini, Camavinga & Touchameni. Madrid’s latest success comes from players loving the club. Florentino will keep it this way.
Who is the main player in PSG? Mbappe or Messi?
The main reason for rejection by Mbappe and Haaland is being the main man. The way RMA were trying to bring in both Haaland and Mbappe, all while having Benzema, it would result in a clash.
Resulting in less game time and exposure for all. They did the perfect job not to join RMA as now we can see them being the main man at their respective clubs rather than one being benched to make room for another.
We can’t have another Benzema or Bale who’ll just prefer being in shadow while having the ability to be the main man.
Who has more trophies Mbappé or Haaland?
| Mbappe | Trophies | Haaland |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | Cup competitions | 2 |
| 0 | European trophies | 0 |
According to the reports Mbappe and Madrid was in full agreement with the splitting of imagine rights, what the amount was is uncertain. The reality is he used the Madrid name to get a lucrative deal with PSG and was persuaded to stay by influential people in France.
Everyone knows countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia love to waste ridiculous amounts of money.
Therefore, imagine rights deals still exist in Madrid. The irony is he would still earn more money in the long run if he came to Madrid. Not only would he be exposed to the largest fanbase in the world and biggest sponsorship deal which Madrid has, but also the amount of bonuses he would be receiving winning major trophies, never mind the sporting legacy.
Ronaldo today earns 40 mil annually from his Instagram account alone. His popularity skyrocketed when he came to Madrid, go figure.

CR7 is so traumatized by playing with the camels that he has become delusional. messi never slenderd any league when he was playing with french farmers. But pendu has to please his owners😢 that’s why he said all this,please don’t hate him.
Great football player, without a doubt. But he is too obsessed with Messi. His whole argument was about justifying himself of what a player he is. That’s why, in my opinion, Messi is a greater player. Ps: How in the world can he compare himself with Haalands’ stats in the Premier League? You lost some credibility with this one CR.
Kobbie is Now the future of Man Utd
I understand that CR7 is angry with Messi (undeserved) last Ballon d’Or, but you can see through his body language that he’s sour and bitter. He’s just using the french league to aim Messi when this league is producing the best talents of Europe. Saudi league will be over in 1 year. Cash doesn”t pay you a brain. 🤣

Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has confessed he never wanted to join Paris Saint-Germain and leave FC Barcelona in 2021, and that he also doesn’t care if he wins the next edition of the Ballon d’Or, during a press conference held on Thursday afternoon.
Messi turned down a second stint in Catalonia in June when deciding to cross the Atlantic for a new challenge in the MLS.
He has gotten off to a roaring start in Florida, scoring nine goals in six appearances and guiding his new team to the Leagues Cup final set to be played against Nashville on Saturday night.
Mbappe hits out at France over Lionel Messi treatment
According to Forbes, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has hit out at France for its treatment of Lionel Messi during his two seasons in Ligue 1.
Messi joined the French champions in 2021 on a free transfer from Barcelona and despite winning the league on two occasions, the forward struggled to adapt to life at PSG.

Messi, 35, was booed and jeered by PSG fans following the team’s exits from the Champions League over the past few seasons.
Messi opted not to extend his PSG contract at the end of the season and joined Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami. Mbappe defended his former club teammate and said he deserved more respect in France.
Unpopular opinion but everything happens for a reason. As much as I disliked watching him treated badly at PSG, it did enable him to train for the World Cup. If he would have gone to Man City, SportsFila feels that would not have happened. Sometimes you have to be out of your comfort zone to thrive. I don’t see it as a waste, but necessary growing pains. Now he’s transforming the MLS and I’m happy to see him so happy here in the States. And he left Europe when he wanted to, not when he had to, and that’s important.
Lionel Messi Scores a Stunning Goal for Inter Miami
“I said it many times throughout my career, the Ballon d’Or is one of the most beautiful [prizes] on an individual level. [But] I never gave it importance, because for me the most important [trophies] are the collective [ones], at a group level.
Does Messi deserve to win Ballon d’Or 2023 over Haaland?
“I was lucky to have achieved everything. After winning the World Cup, I don’t think about that award,” Messi said in his latest interview sigted by SportsFila.com.
Can’t believe Laporta and Barcelona BACKSTABBED the GOAT and then PSG ultras treated him bad and took him for granted. Good to see he’s happy in Miami now.
Like anyone, if you do something last minute you end up not enjoying the final product. That’s all he was singing this WAS NOT disrespect towards PSG. If in some alternate universe he PLANNED to go there MAYBE he would’ve enjoyed his time more.

If Man Utd can sign Mbappe now, SportsFila think they have to go for him. Can’t continue waiting and can’t trust that nobody else will sign him or renew with PSG. Mbappe needs to understand that there are not too many clubs who can pay what he’s demanding. I think they both need each other to continue wasting a career at France.
PSG have to blame themselves. You paid him his transfer fee in salary essentially, and now you want him to forgo that money so you get it back as a transfer fee. PSG didn’t read the contract they had Mbappe sign. He can do anything his contract says.
Kylian Mbappe given PSG transfer ultimatum amid new Liverpool, Real Madrid and Man United claim
If a club puts an offer on the table and PSG accept does he HAVE to move? I don’t think so. Therefore, it is not up to PSG. Mbappe would be smart to move to Madrid for free next summer: more money for him and more money for Madrid to strengthen the squad.
Kylian Mbappe has been told he must sign a new contract if he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe writes letter to PSG seeking move
That is according to PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who says he will not allow the superstar France striker to walk away on a free transfer in 12 months time.
Mbappe, who has long been linked with Liverpool and Real Madrid in recent years, has put the world’s top clubs on alert after informing Paris he will not be triggering the one-year extension in his contract, sources have told SportsFila.com.
That means the top goalscorer at the 2022 World Cup will be a free agent next summer unless PSG cash in on his services.
Honestly I don’t think Mbappe wants to move to Madrid, I think this is all negotiation games that he’s being told to do by his people. Kylian isn’t the only pocket that gets filled by a big new juicy contract extension with PSG.
PSG will not allow Manchester United-linked Kylian Mbappe to leave for free
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will not let Kylian Mbappe leave the Parc des Princes side as a free agent amidst links to Manchester United.
The France international’s current contract with the Parisians expires next summer. While there is an option to extend the deal for another year, the forward has no intention of triggering it.
To that end, speaking via transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Twitter (h/t The Sun), Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of PSG, was adamant that the 24-year-old will be sold in the ongoing transfer window if his decision does not change.

I think Mbappe knows he has all the cards and he’s perfectly happy to let PSG sweat, he doesn’t benefit from signing a new deal now. He might as well wait until the very last moment to make PSG super sweaty then take them to the cleaners. I personally couldn’t be happier to see this. It’s what happens when you put a crown on a kid, now they think they’re the king.
Mbappe truly pulled a masterclass, he stayed at PSG long enough to become their all time top goalscorer and raking in the easy goals while simultaneously rinsing PSG of all the money possible before heading off to his dream club in Madrid whom will ultimately have no choice but to sign him because of how talented he is.
