Real Madrid has on the table in the Bernabéu offices a valuation very close to the real cost of Mbappé if they wanted to sign him this summer. The research is by the KPMG auditor, leader in its sector and also author of the report that was released just a few hours ago and that gave Madrid the honor of being the most valuable club in the world (for the second consecutive year), above Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. The economic crisis caused by the coronavirus has wreaked havoc on football finances and the value of the players has been greatly affected. In that KPMG study we calculate how much. For this, the situation of the children has been analyzed in detail and with a patented algorithm. 4,183 players participating in the 10 most important leagues in Europe. The auditor poses two scenarios: footballers they will have lost 26.5% of their value if the championship is not resumed and 17.7% if the leagues are resumed behind closed doors. Mbappé, is in the first group.
KMPG gives Mbappé a market value of 177 million. The French League will not resume. Either way, the French star Not less than 26.5% of the average has been devalued, because the stars and young players have better resisted the coronavirus tsunami. Either way, in February of this year, before the start of the pandemic. KPMG gave Mbappé a value of 225 million euros. The reduction is substantial, of almost 50 million euros, but it will be even more so in the summer of 2021, when only one contract season remains.
In the roadmap that Madrid has drawn up to undertake the signing of the Frenchman, he will not move until that summer of 2021. But it does not escape anyone that Mbappé is now at a crucial moment in his career, with PSG trying renew it and with a lot of economic uncertainty for the future. This newspaper has been reporting that, in the last conversations between the Parisian club and the player, the possibility of its renewal with a proMadrid clause was raised. But this would be very negative for Florentino's plans, because the signing of Mbappé would be more expensive. Either way, if the deal were to rush this summer, $ 177 million per Mbappé seems like a good deal.
In the table that illustrates this text you can see what has changed the market for the 20 most highly valued soccer players on the planetto. If before the crisis there were 15 players over 100 million euros, for scenario 1 that arises (not to play again) only 8 remain and for scenario 2 (to play behind closed doors) only 11 . The Madrid it only has Hazard in the top-20 of the most valuable players.
