France Captain Joins Real Madrid Following Champions League Triumph.
Just two days after securing their historic 15th Champions League title, Real Madrid finalized the long-anticipated transfer of Kylian Mbappe, adding another dimension to their already formidable squad.
The announcement of Mbappe's arrival came swiftly after Real Madrid's European victory over Borussia Dortmund, with the club confirming the signing in a brief statement.
Mbappe himself expressed his excitement about the move on Twitter/X, describing it as a dream come true and expressing gratitude to the fans for their support.
The France captain's five-year contract reportedly includes a €150m (£127m) signing-on fee, paid in installments over the duration of the deal.
His addition to the squad further bolsters Real Madrid's standing, not only as reigning La Liga champions but also as contenders for next season's revamped Champions League.
Mbappe's departure from Paris Saint-Germain marks the end of a seven-year stint in the French capital, during which he claimed multiple league titles but fell short in Champions League glory.
Now, his focus shifts to achieving European success with Real Madrid, a club renowned for its dominance in the competition.
Additionally, Mbappe sets his sights on individual accolades, including the coveted Ballon d'Or, aiming to break the dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
With a new generation of talent emerging in football, Mbappe is poised to lead the charge alongside the likes of Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.
In terms of his role on the field, Mbappe is expected to wear the No 9 jersey, succeeding fellow Frenchman Karim Benzema, who departed for Saudi Arabia last summer.
This move aligns him with a prestigious lineage of Real Madrid players who have donned the iconic number, further solidifying his place in the club's storied history.
