Star Forward Joins Real Madrid on a Five-Year Deal
Kylian Mbappe has officially signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, leaving Paris Saint-Germain for a new chapter in his career. The 25-year-old forward described the move as a “dream come true” despite taking a significant pay cut.
Real Madrid confirmed the signing in a statement, celebrating the end of their long pursuit of one of football’s most prolific forwards. “Real Madrid have reached an agreement for the player to be at Real Madrid for the next five seasons,” the club announced.
Mbappe expressed his excitement on social media, saying, “So happy and proud to join the club of my dream @realmadrid. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support.”
Mbappe will earn 35 million euros ($38 million) per season, a considerable reduction from his previous deal with PSG, which was worth 72 million euros annually before tax, along with significant loyalty bonuses and a 150-million-euro signing-on fee.
The move comes just days after Real Madrid secured their 15th Champions League title with a 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund. Mbappe, who verbally agreed to the transfer in February and announced his departure from PSG in May, is now set to join Real Madrid before participating in pre-Euro 2024 friendlies for France.
Mbappe’s journey to stardom began with a record 256 goals for PSG, where he won six Ligue 1 titles and reached the 2020 Champions League final. He became a World Cup champion in 2018 and scored a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina, although France lost in a penalty shootout.
Despite PSG’s high-profile lineup featuring Neymar and Lionel Messi, the club struggled to secure the Champions League title. Mbappe’s significance to French football and his country was evident when President Emmanuel Macron intervened to persuade him to stay at PSG in 2022.
At Real Madrid, Mbappe will join forces with Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior and England international Jude Bellingham, forming a formidable attacking trio reminiscent of the club’s golden era with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema.
Real Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti, when asked about accommodating Mbappe, emphasized the importance of quality and balance in the team. The club’s recent signings, including young talents Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and teenage Brazilian star Endrick, reflect a strategic rebuild aimed at sustaining their success.
As Mbappe steps into his new role at Real Madrid, fans and football enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate the impact of this exciting addition to the legendary club.
