Real Madrid has confirmed the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year contract, marking the culmination of the Spanish club's pursuit of one of football's most prolific forwards.
"Real Madrid have reached an agreement for the player to join us for the next five seasons," stated the club in an official announcement.
Expressing his excitement on social media, Mbappe described the move as "a dream come true." He eagerly awaits joining the club he has long admired, expressing gratitude to the Madridistas for their unwavering support.
Reports from Spain indicate that Mbappe's annual salary will be 35 million euros ($38 million).
The agreement follows Mbappe's earlier verbal commitment to join Real in February, with the confirmation of his departure from PSG announced in May.
Real Madrid wasted no time in sealing the deal following their recent Champions League victory, ensuring Mbappe's transfer before his involvement in pre-Euro 2024 friendlies with the French national team.
Having achieved remarkable success with PSG, including six Ligue 1 titles and a Champions League final appearance in 2020, Mbappe's move to Real Madrid signifies a new chapter in his illustrious career.
Despite his young age, Mbappe's impact on both club and country has been immense, highlighted by his World Cup triumph with France in 2018 and subsequent achievements.
As Mbappe embarks on this new journey with Real Madrid, he is set to form a formidable attacking trio alongside Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham, contributing to the club's pursuit of further success domestically and in European competitions.
