Real Madrid have confirmed the inking of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer, ending their years-long saga for the French superstar to join the Spanish giants.
Kylian revealed in May that he would leave PSG at the end of the campaign when his deal expired.
Un sueño hecho realidad.
Muy feliz y orgulloso de formar parte del club de mis sueños @realmadrid Es imposible explicar lo feliz y emocionado que me siento en este momento. Estoy impaciente por veros, Madridistas, y gracias por vuestro increíble apoyo.
¡Hala Madrid! 🤍🤍🤍— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) June 3, 2024
Mbappe has inked a 5-year contract worth over 16 million dollars annually after taxes, having been discussing his deal with Los Blancos for at least the past few months.
Real are the reigning La Liga champs and triumphed with their 15th Champions League last weekend after defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in London.
In 2017, after starring for Monaco, Kylian was close to joining Real Madrid, but he preferred the PSG offer after the French side agreed to a world record contract for him for almost 200 million dollars.
Mbappe triumphed in the World Cup with his nation in 2018 and netted a hat trick in their World Cup final loss against Argentina in Qatar.
Kylian also almost signed with Los Blancos 2 seasons ago, but at the last moment, they inked an extension with PSG. However, the French superstar has now joined a squad with stars like Vini Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.
