After seven years of rumours, on June 3rd, Kylian Mbappé officially signed up with the club that he had dreamed about since he was a kid, that is to say, Real Madrid.
A few years ago, Real Madrid offered Kylian Mbappé the chance to play with the club, but the soccer player refused and preferred to stay in Paris with Paris Saint Germain (PSG). However, this time the attacker signed up with Real Madrid for the next five seasons with a contract ending in 2029. In this contract, it is said that his salary will be around 150 million dollars. Therefore, it is a considerable wage increase from when he was with PSG since Mbappé had a salary of about 72 million dollars. He has more than doubled his salary.
In addition, it is important to know that from an early age, Kylian Mbappé was a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and the club Real Madrid, which means he is now able to live the dream of his life. “A dream come true, So happy and proud to be joining the club of my dreams. No one can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thank you for your incredible support. ¡Hala Madrid!” commented Kylian Mbappé on his social media. “My turn (to watch you). Can’t wait to see you light up the Bernabeu,” commented the old idol of Mbappé.
During his seven seasons alongside the PSG, he has been the best scorer of all time with 256 goals. Despite his loyalty to the PSG, the terms between the attacker and the fans and the leaders of the French club have badly finished. He was not happy anymore with the PSG, he had conflictual relations and he was threatened not to play for the club anymore.
Last May, the superstar was saying that he was ready for a new challenge, so it appears that he is in the right spot for that. The soccer player is continuing his remarkable career at only 25 years old.
