Kylian Mbappe says Real Madrid move ‘a dream come true’
France forward Kylian Mbappe says it is a “dream come true” as his long-awaited move to Real Madrid was confirmed, external on Monday evening.
Mbappe, 25, will move to the Bernabeu Stadium on a five-year deal when his Paris St-Germain contract expires on 30 June.
He will earn 15m euros (£12.8m) a season, plus a 150m euro (£128m) signing-on bonus to be paid over five years, and he will keep a percentage of his image rights.
“Nobody can understand how excited I am right now!” Mbappe posted on Instagram.
“A dream come true. So happy and proud to join the club of my dreams.”
He will join a Madrid side fresh from winning La Liga as they captured a record-extending 15th European crown with victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final.
Mbappe’s arrival in the Spanish capital is likely to prompt suggestions of a new Galacticos era at the club given the exciting prospect of him lining up alongside Brazil forwards Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and fellow new signing Endrick, and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.
