In a move that has fans buzzing, Kylian Mbappe has officially joined Real Madrid in what many are calling a 'dream' transfer. The Spanish giants from La Liga announced on Monday that they've secured the French superstar on a five-year contract.
\"Real Madrid C. F. and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons,\" the club stated.
Mbappe took to X to express his excitement: \"A dream come true, So happy and proud to join the club of my dream. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can't wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid!\"
According to ESPN, Mbappe's salary will be €15 million per year after taxes, along with a €150 million signing bonus spread over five years. While this is lower than his earnings at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the offer from Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal last year, the 25-year-old is thrilled to play at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and aims to add more trophies to his collection.
