Real Madrid officially signs Kylian Mbappe, ending his tenure with PSG. The 25-year-old joins as a free agent, expected to be the highest-paid player with annual earnings up to €20 million. Fans are thrilled with the move, celebrating the new addition to the team after their recent La Liga and Champions League triumphs.
The long-awaited transfer saga of Kylian Mbappe has reached its conclusion, with Real Madrid officially confirming his signing. After announcing his departure from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in early May, Mbappe now joins Real Madrid following a remarkable season where Carlo Ancelotti's team topped La Liga and won their 15th Champions League title.
Real Madrid confirmed the move with a succinct statement: "Real Madrid C.F. and Kylian Mbappé have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons."
This transfer has been in the making for years, with Mbappe being linked to Real Madrid in almost every transfer window since he turned down a move in 2022. At 25 years old, Mbappe joins Real Madrid as a free agent but has reportedly accepted a pay cut to join the Spanish giants. Nevertheless, he is expected to be the club's highest-paid player, with annual earnings estimated between €15 million (£13 million/$16 million) and €20 million (£17 million/$22 million).
Mbappe has already joined the French national team camp ahead of their European Championship campaign. He aims to achieve further success with France before linking up with his new teammates at the Santiago Bernabeu.
