Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe is reportedly set to pocket a whopping £547million over the next three years.
The 23-year-old penned a lucrative new contract until 2025 in May with his contract at Parc des Princes set to expire.
talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan described the deal as ‘absurd’, ‘obscene’ and ‘preposterous’ after it was rumoured the striker will now be earning £1m-a-week.
And now Le Parisien have broken down just how much the 2018 World Cup winner be earning throughout his contract.
The French news outlet have stated that Mbappe will be taking home £547m in gross salary, which will make him the highest-paid sportsperson in history.
On top of that, he will rake it £156m from his signing on bonus, which will be paid in full across three years regardless of whether he leaves before 2025.
And his £61m loyalty bonus which the forward will receive at the end of the campaign will increase by £8.6m for every season he remains at PSG.
His contract – which required the intervention of French president Emmanuel Macron to stop the player joining Real Madrid – also includes the option of a further two-year stay.

But that can only be triggered by the three-time Ligue 1 Player of the Year himself.
And despite speculation that Mbappe was earning £1m-per-week, it has been said that he is actually pocketing £650k-a-week.
Incredibly, Mbappe’s wages are claimed to take up a quarter of Les Parisiens’ budget.
Despite his astronomical salary, recent reports have stated that the youngster is keen to depart PSG in 2023.
RMC declared he wanted to leave Christophe Galtier’s side with their relationship ‘completely broken’ while Marca revealed he felt ‘betrayed by the club.
But Mbappe, who has scored 14 goals from 15 games this term, rubbished the rumours last week as he said he remains ‘very happy’ in the French capital.
He said: “I’m very happy. I never asked for my departure in January.
“The info that came out on the day of the match I didn’t understand. I was just as shocked as everyone else.
“There are people who may think I’m involved in this, but I’m not involved, I was taking a nap.
“My entourage was at my little brother’s game, all the people who take care of me weren’t there so we were flabbergasted when we heard about it.
“Afterwards, we had to deal with it, there was a game to play. Just to say that it is completely wrong and I am very happy.”
