Real Madrid announced the signing of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, with the French international joining the Spanish and European champions on a five-year deal once his contract expires in the French capital at the end of June.
Mbappe released a statement on social media following the announcement.
“A dream come true, I am very happy and proud to join my dream club, Real Madird. No one can understand how excited I am right now. I can’t wait to see you Madridistas and thank you for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid!”
The 25-year-old is currently with Les Bleus ahead of UEFA Euro 2024 and although he has expressed his hope of representing his country at the Paris Olympic Games later this summer, on Monday the Olympic team was released without him.
However, fresh from an unprecedented 15th UEFA Champions League success at the weekend, Real announced the signing of Mbappé on a contract until 2029 at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the star reportedly taking shirt number 9 upon arriving at PSG.

The Bondy native began his career with AS Monaco before joining Les Parisiens and bursting onto the French and global football scene with his role in Les Monegasques’ 2016-17 Ligue 1 triumph as well as their 2018 FIFA World Cup victory with Les Bleus in Russia.
Mbappe’s individual brilliance took France to the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, where Didier Deschamps’ men narrowly lost to Argentina in a thrilling encounter that saw then PSG team-mate Lionel Messi triumph at in front of you.
Once part of Carlo Ancelotti’s Blancos, the Frenchman is expected to form a terrifying attacking unit alongside the likes of Champions League final hero Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and newcomer Endrick.
Compatriots Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy are familiar faces to Mbappe, with the trio forming part of Deschamps’ squad for this summer’s Euros, which will see Real’s latest signing captain the pre-tournament favourites.
