French football star Kylian Mbappe has officially signed with Real Madrid, marking the end of his prolific tenure at Paris St-Germain (PSG). The highly anticipated move comes after Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire on June 30, allowing him to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer.
Agreement and Announcement
Mbappe had initially verbally agreed to the transfer in February and publicly announced in May his decision to leave PSG at the season’s end. The formal signing of the contract now cements his move, with Real Madrid planning to officially unveil Mbappe as their new signing next week. The presentation of the forward at Madrid’s iconic Bernabeu stadium is expected to occur before the commencement of Euro 2024.
Record and Legacy
At only 25 years old, Mbappe leaves behind a significant legacy at PSG as the club’s all-time top scorer, netting a remarkable 256 goals since his transfer from Monaco in 2017. His tenure at PSG includes an initial loan period before a permanent signing, during which he helped the club secure multiple domestic titles and made significant contributions in European competitions.
Looking Forward
Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid is viewed as a major boost for the club, adding one of the world’s foremost talents to their ranks as they continue to compete at the highest levels of European football. His arrival is expected to be a cornerstone for the team’s strategies, both domestically in La Liga and internationally in the UEFA Champions League.
