Reuters. France forward Kylian Mbappe has joined Real Madrid as a free agent on a five-year contract, the LaLiga club said on Monday (June 3), ending a transfer saga that rumbled on for years before the European champions captured their newest "Galactico".
"Real Madrid C. F. and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons," the Spanish champions said in a statement, fresh off their 15th European Cup triumph.
Mbappe has long been linked with Real Madrid, reportedly rejecting a huge offer in 2021, and was again set for a move to the LaLiga side in 2022 before announcing a contract extension with PSG ahead of the transfer window opening.
The 25-year-old forward, who won the World Cup in 2018, joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 and has helped them win five Ligue 1 titles, while becoming the club's all time top goalscorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances.
