Kylian Mbappe, the France forward, expressed his excitement as his move to Real Madrid was officially confirmed on Monday evening. The 25-year-old will be joining the Spanish club on a five-year deal when his contract with Paris St-Germain expires on June 30th.
Mbappe’s success at PSG has been nothing short of remarkable, as he scored 256 goals and became the club’s record goalscorer. Last season, he scored 44 goals in 48 matches and led the French top flight in scoring for the sixth consecutive year. He has won seven Ligue 1 titles and four French Cup titles during his time in France.
The talented forward has also achieved success on the international stage, winning the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, he has yet to win the Champions League, having been a finalist in 2019-20. His arrival at Real Madrid is expected to usher in a new era, with the prospect of him playing alongside other promising talents like Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.
Mbappe’s move to Madrid was a long time in the making, with rumors of his transfer circulating for months. The Frenchman announced in May that he would be leaving PSG at the end of the season, paving the way for his move to the Spanish capital. His signing will undoubtedly bolster an already strong Madrid team and increase their chances of success in both domestic and European competitions.
With Mbappe’s arrival at Real Madrid comes an added level of excitement for fans around Europe as they eagerly await to see him play alongside some of Europe’s best talent on one team.
