Kylian Mbappe has finally achieved his long awaited dream. The French talismanic forward’s dream was to play for Real Madrid and now his dream has finally come true. The global superstar has now joined Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer which will see him stay at the club for the next 5 years.
“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. ¡Hala Madrid! 🤍,🤍🤍,” Mbappe wrote on his social media.
Kylian Mbappe started making the headlines in 2016 and 2017 as being the next best thing in World football. Rising from the ranks of Monaco, Mbappe joined PSG in the summer of 2017 for a loan deal. The following year, the deal was made final as he continued to stay at the Parisian club for the next 7 years.
In between post 2022, Real Madrid and other clubs have shown great interest in buying the superstar. Mbappe had his fair share of contract extension and fresh contract denial talks with PSG. In 2022, Real Madrid offered him £180 million transfer fee which was then turned down by PSG. Finally, Mbappe declined to trigger his 1 year contract extension and left PSG as a free agent this summer. And now he joins Real Madrid as a Galactico signing.
