Mbappe’s Dream Move to Madrid Becomes a Reality
Madrid, June 4, 2024-In a stunning development that has set the football world abuzz, Kylian Mbappe’s long-anticipated transfer to Real Madrid is finally a reality. The French superstar, often vocal about his admiration for the Spanish giants, has fulfilled what he has frequently described as a “dream come true.”
The 25-year-old French forward will join the iconic Spanish club on a five-year deal after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires on June 30.
Mbappe’s move to the Bernabeu Stadium includes a lucrative package, earning him €15 million (£12.8 million) per season. Additionally, he will receive a €150 million (£128 million) signing-on bonus, distributed over the duration of his contract. A portion of his image rights will also remain under his control, highlighting the star’s significant market value.
“Nobody can understand how excited I am right now!” Mbappe shared on Instagram. “A dream come true. So happy and proud to join the club of my dreams.”
Mbappe’s addition to Real Madrid comes on the heels of their recent triumphs, having clinched both La Liga and their record-extending 15th European title by defeating Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final. His arrival is expected to herald a new era of Galacticos, as he joins forces with Brazil’s Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, newcomer Endrick, and England’s Jude Bellingham.
Mbappe leaves PSG as the club’s all-time top scorer, amassing 256 goals since his initial loan move from Monaco in 2017. Over the past season, he netted 44 goals in 48 matches and led the scoring charts in Ligue 1 for six consecutive years. His tenure at PSG was marked by seven Ligue 1 titles—one with Monaco and six with PSG and four French Cup victories.
Internationally, Mbappe’s prowess was on full display at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he won the Golden Boot despite France’s dramatic penalty shootout loss to Argentina in the final.
Mbappe’s transfer marks a significant moment in football, promising to elevate Real Madrid’s already stellar squad and excite fans worldwide as they anticipate the impact of one of the game’s brightest stars on the grandest stages.
