Football star Mbappe allegedly set to collect a bonus of at least $108 million in his Real Madrid move.

French football prodigy Kylian Mbappe is expected to receive a signing-on bonus of at least £85 million ($108.4 million) over the following five years after completing his much-anticipated move to Spanish club Real Madrid.

Real Madrid revealed in a short statement on Monday that Mbappe has agreed to play for the club for the next five seasons. The release did not include any financial information.

The 25-year-old World Cup winner is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of June.

The media reported conflicting information about the deal's financial structure.

According to Sky Sports, Mbappe will get a signing bonus of somewhat more than £85 million from Real Madrid, which will be paid in instalments over the course of his five-year contract.

Separately, the BBC reported that Mbappe will receive a signing-on fee of 150 million euros ($162.9 million) over five years, with 15 million euros every season and the player keeping a part of his image rights.

CNBC could not independently verify either report.

A Real Madrid spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment. CNBC reached out to Mbappe.

Mbappe, who has long been a top target of Real Madrid, stated on social media that it was "a dream come true" to sign for the club.

"So happy and proud to join the club of my dreams, @realmadrid," Mbappe said on the X social networking platform on Monday. "Nobody can understand how excited I am right now."

The article, written in Spanish, English, and French, featured photographs of a young Mbappe wearing a Real Madrid blazer on a visit to the club. One of the photographs showed Mbappe with Cristiano Ronaldo, a former Real Madrid player and five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Mbappe's deal to Real Madrid was confirmed immediately after the Spanish club won the Champions League final for the record 15th time.

Mbappe scored 44 goals for Paris Saint-Germain last season, helping the team win the Ligue 1 title for the 12th time. The striker has been the top scorer in France's top division for the past six years.
