Kylian Mbappe has joined Real Madrid on a free transfer on a five-year contract.
The 25-year-old forward had announced his departure from Paris St Germain earlier in May, and will now join Real Madrid in July when his PSG contract expires.
Mbappe had been linked to Real Madrid for several years, and his move to the Spanish capital marks a significant coup for the European champions.
Mbappe leaves PSG after seven years, during which he won six Ligue 1 titles and four French Cups, and became the club’s all-time top scorer with 256 goals.
Despite his success in Paris, Mbappe has been unable to win the Champions League, which remains the only major honour missing from his resume.
He will now join a star-studded side in Madrid, led by coach Carlo Ancelotti, and featuring players like Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham.
Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid marks the end of a long-running saga, which had seen him linked to the club for several years.
His decision to join Real Madrid is a significant blow to PSG, who had hoped to keep their star player.
However, Mbappe’s desire to win the Champions League and play for a bigger club ultimately led him to Madrid.
The transfer is a major coup for Real Madrid, who have secured the services of one of the world’s top players.
