Real Madrid have announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe and this news has broken the internet. Los Blancos had waited for several years for his signing and this has finally brought a lot of happiness to their fans.
The 25-year-old prodigy previously plied his trade for PSG and was one of the top-rated goal-scorers of the French club. The forward who is known for his agility and dribbling skills, played 178 matches for France and netted 162 goals for them.
“Real Madrid C. F. and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons,” announced the UEFA Champions League 2023-24 champions.
Notably, Kylian Mbappe had announced last month through a video that it would be his last season at PSG. There were several speculations and finally, he has joined Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe is a huge admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo and in his announcement post on his profile, he even included a childhood picture of his and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“A dream come true, So happy and proud to join the club of my dream,” read the caption of his social media post.
The five-year contract for €15 million ($16.2 million) a year after taxes, according to sources close to ESPN, includes a €150 million signing bonus that will be distributed over the course of the term.
Kylian Mbappe was a towering figure at PSG and steered them to 6 Ligue 1 titles. He also helped them qualify for the UEFA Champions League 2020 finals when they eventually lost to Bayern Munich in the finals.
Mbappe had netted a hattrick in the finals of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar versus Argentina but they eventually lost the finals. The French forward had helped his national team win the FIFA World Cup 2018.
His move to Real Madrid is a historic one and it is sure to bring laurels to the Spanish club. After the retirement of German legendary midfielder Toni Kroos, Mbappe’s inclusion is a breath of fresh energy and renewed hope for the fans of Real Madrid.
Los Blancos were also the champions of La Liga 2023-24 and had finished 10 points clear of second-place Barcelona.
