LaLiga Scrutinizes Barcelona: A Close Look at Mbappé’s Contract Raises Eyebrows

As the inevitability of Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid looms, LaLiga’s scrutiny intensifies, particularly when contrasting the ease with which Madrid appears to inscribe Mbappé’s contract against the challenges faced by Barcelona.

The PSG star has officially communicated his decision not to renew his contract, with Real Madrid emerging as the sole and prime destination for the French sensation starting July 1. His impending contract, a feat of financial engineering, will intertwine fixed salary, signing bonuses, and intricate negotiations over image rights. This arrangement not only shields Mbappé’s financial stature but also allows Madrid to register the contract with LaLiga without apparent hurdles, as detailed by SPORT.

Interestingly, the contrast is stark when it comes to the hurdles faced by Barcelona, a club perennially under the watchful eye of LaLiga President Tebas. The case of Joao Félix serves as a precedent, where LaLiga contested the club’s claim that the player earned 400,000 euros, insisting on a salary ten times higher based on the contract he had with Atlético Madrid. Now, with Mbappé, LaLiga is poised to scrutinize the contract based on its merits, acknowledging the signing bonus while emphasizing the league’s need for players of his caliber.

The article also touches upon the past situation with Lionel Messi, the former world’s best footballer, who left Barcelona as the club grappled with dire economic conditions. The club reveals that LaLiga’s treatment of contracts might differ based on considerations, highlighting the nuanced financial scenarios faced by both Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In the unfolding Mbappé saga, LaLiga’s watchful eye on Barcelona takes center stage, shedding light on the intricacies and potential challenges in the football transfer landscape.
