‘Dream come true’: Mbappe reacts as football’s worst-kept $285m secret finally confirmed
Kylian Mbappe signed a five-year deal to move to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on Monday and hailed the move as a “dream come true”.
“So happy and proud to join the club of my dream @realmadrid. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support,” 25-year-old Mbappe added on social media.Mbappe’s last contract with PSG, signed in 2022, was a two-year deal worth some 72 million euros before tax with loyalty bonuses of a similar amount and a signing-on fee of 150 million euros.
He eventually moved to PSG in a 180-million-euro deal — all at the age of 18. Mbappe helped PSG to six Ligue 1 titles and steered them to the 2020 Champions League final, but they lost to Bayern Munich. As Mbappe’s fame has grown, so has his importance to both the French national team and France the country.
Mbappe idolised Ronaldo as a child and now has the chance to emulate the Portuguese forward, Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer.
