The long-standing speculation surrounding the future of France soccer captain Kylian Mbappe finally came to an end as he joined Spanish club Real Madrid on a five-year contract as a free agent. The 25-year-old, who was a crucial part of the French national team’s World Cup-winning squad, made the move from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Madrid.
Real Madrid confirmed the signing in an official statement, announcing Mbappe’s arrival on a five-season deal. The move comes shortly after Madrid secured their 15th European Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final.
Expressing his excitement about joining Real Madrid, Mbappe described it as a dream come true. He expressed gratitude to the club’s supporters and eagerly anticipated representing Los Blancos.
Mbappe’s journey to Real Madrid follows his successful stint at PSG, where he played 290 matches and scored 243 goals since joining from AS Monaco in 2017. Despite his impressive performances, Mbappe openly admitted his desire to play for Real Madrid, a dream he has harboured for years.
Throughout the years, Real Madrid had persistently pursued Mbappe, notably making a significant offer of 220 million Euros in 2021, which PSG declined. However, with his contract expiring, Mbappe seized the opportunity to make his dream move to the Spanish capital.
