We are pleased to announce that Kylian Mbappe has finally signed a contract with his new club, which includes a signing on fee of £85.5 million
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly finalized his departure from Paris Saint-Germain and inked a lucrative five-year deal with Real Madrid. His exit from the Parc des Princes was anticipated, given his contract’s imminent expiration at the current season’s end. Speculation had been rife regarding potential suitors, with Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Liverpool frequently mentioned in connection with the Frenchman. Now, it seems his move to the Santiago Bernabeu is drawing nearer.
According to Marca, a Spanish outlet, Mbappe has already put pen to paper with Real Madrid, with his contract set to run until the summer of 2029. The deal is said to include the highest salary offered to any player, albeit reportedly lower than the staggering £22 million he earns annually in Paris. Nevertheless, Mbappe is set to receive a substantial £85.5 million signing-on fee.
Despite the rumors swirling around his transfer, PSG manager Luis Enrique has remained tight-lipped about Mbappe’s future, stating, “I have nothing to say.” He emphasized the lack of public statements from Mbappe or any involved parties and indicated his intention to weigh in once all sides have spoken.
With Mbappe’s signature, speculation about a potential move to the Premier League comes to an end. Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate dismissed rumors linking Mbappe to Anfield, implying that the destination was already widely known. Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta hinted at Mbappe’s move to Spain, acknowledging the caliber of player involved but suggesting a different direction for the striker.
Despite the ongoing transfer speculation, Mbappe continues to shine on the field for PSG. In a recent match against Nantes, despite starting on the bench, he was brought on to secure a 2-0 victory with a goal from the penalty spot. With 32 goals in 31 games across all competitions this season, the 2018 World Cup winner’s prowess remains undiminished amidst the uncertainty surrounding his future.
