Real Madrid did not get Mbappe for free; his signing bonus is higher than the amount paid for 99.9% of player transfers. But the fact that Mbappe comes to Real at the right time is 100%, first of all, because Real showed that even without Mbappe they can take all the titles, but Mbappe cannot without Real. That is, this is an ideal situation when the player is maximally interested in proving himself, because if the results with Mbappe are worse (they probably cannot be better), then many will blame him for this.

There's no doubt to the fact that the sign-on fee of Kylian Mbappe is one of the most lucrative in the history of footballers transfer but it doesn't change the fact that he joined Real Madrid on a free transfer. Once a player leaves his club as a free agent and joins another it is recorded that the transfer is free irrespective of the amount that's agreed as he wages or any other offer in his contract. The signing of Kylian Mbappe as a free agent helps Real Madrid to balance their spendings and not break the Financial Fair Play rules after spending huge to land Jude Bellingham last summer.
As a Real Madrid fan, I'm extremely happy that the club was able to sign a player they've actually done so many things to bring to the club in the past years. I have no doubt that the Frenchman will succeed in the club by winning many trophies and individual accolades.

I am 100% sure that although the signing bonus and transfer money are different expense items in an accounting sense, they are both still taken into account by the FFP. But Real can afford such expenses because its income exceeds expenses, they have not made major purchases for a long time (before Bellingham) and have accumulated a good financial reserve.
In addition, I am sure that Mbape will receive his signing bonus not just once, but as the contract is fulfilled, that is, this payment will be spread over several years.

It's not just about the money; it's also about brain. Real Madrid, they ain't just buying players, they're investing in a dynasty. Mbappe? He's more than just another striker; he's an edge. Real Madrid ain't throwing money around. It's a long-term strategy for them to spread out payments

And their transfer strategy is surgical. They're not going to buy every new toy that comes out. The guys who fit their method and can help the team get better are chosen by hand. This ain't some impulsive purchase, man. This is a calculated move. Not only is Mbappe talented, he's also a great investment. Also, yes, there are FFP rules, but Real Madrid? They're doing it awesome

This ain't just about football, this is about business. This is about legacy. This is Real Madrid, baby
