French superstar Kylian Mbappe expressed his overwhelming excitement as his move to Real Madrid was finally confirmed on Monday.
The 25-year-old will join Los Blancos on a free transfer after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expires at the end of June.
Mbappe has signed a lucrative five-year deal, earning €15 million per season with a hefty €150 million signing bonus paid in installments. He will also retain control over a portion of his image rights.
“This is a dream come true!” Mbappe declared on Instagram, brimming with joy. “I’m incredibly happy and proud to be joining the club of my dreams.”
He arrives at a Real Madrid side fresh off a historic season. They secured a record-extending 15th Champions League title, adding to their La Liga triumph.
Mbappe’s presence sparks talk of a new “Galacticos” era at the Bernabeu. Fans anticipate a thrilling attacking line-up featuring Mbappe alongside Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, fellow newcomer Endrick, and English midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The move comes after Mbappe verbally committed to Real Madrid in February and announced his departure from PSG in May. He leaves the French capital as their all-time top scorer, having netted an impressive 256 goals since joining from Monaco in 2017.
Mbappe has dominated Ligue 1, claiming the top scorer title for the past six seasons with a total of 44 goals in 48 matches last term alone. He also boasts seven Ligue 1 titles (one with Monaco, six with PSG) and four French Cup victories.
On the international stage, Mbappe secured the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup, although France fell short in the final against Argentina. Now, he sets his sights on Champions League glory with a club renowned for its European dominance.
