Kylian Mbappé has joked about a possible move to Milan, his favourite club in Serie A, but the France superstar currently earns as much as the entire Rossoneri squad.
The 2018 France World Cup winner has recently extended his contract with PSG until 2025 and according to multiple reports, he’ll get a signing bonus in the region of €130m plus a net salary of €50m per season.
That’s almost as much as the current Milan squad earns as a report of Calcio&Finanza in September revealed the Serie A giants would spend €51.5m to play their players’ wages for 2021-22.
In his latest interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mbappé said that Milan are his favourite club in Italy because he had an Italian babysitter when he was a child and all the members of her family supported the Rossoneri.
“Thanks to them, I watched many Milan games and I’ve become a fan. I used to say: if I ever play in Italy, it will only be at Milan. If I had said something different, they would have killed me,” the France star said.
It is impossible to imagine Mbappé moving to the Stadio Meazza anytime soon, especially after his latest contract extension, which makes him the highest paid footballer in the world.
However, Milan fans can still dream of a possible transfer in the future, given Mbappé’s strong bond with the club. As of today, the Serie A giants are not even close to affording the player’s wages, given that the 23-year-old earns almost as much as the entire squad led by Stefano Pioli. Milan won their first Serie A title in 11 years on Sunday and their owners Elliott are close to reaching an agreement to sell the club to RedBird Capital Partners.

We don’t want/need him.
Milan’s strength is in the team, not individuals, and Leao might yet reach his level, or close to it.
No thanks. Not needed at all. Haaland though, that’s a guy I wouldn’t say no to. I can only dream of that guy playing for Milan, already has shown he has much more courage and desire/hunger by joining the toughest league right now.
Haaland > Mbappé.
@dollarumma
won’t be very tough for Haaland in England, I’d say.
MC hammer teams by huge margins on a regular basis. it will only get even easier for them with him.
“Can’t touch this”, Guardiola might say.
@Boss
Their title was literally decided on the last day too and they didn’t even make the UCL final. Its gonna be easier for him? It’s a step up. Sure he’s playing with better quality players and a better coach but the competition has also increased.
