Real Madrid is on the verge of announcing the acquisition of Kylian Mbappé on a substantial deal. It has been reported that the talented forward has agreed to a five-year contract with the club. According to sources familiar with the matter, Mbappé is set to earn a staggering €15 million ($16.2m) annually after taxes. Additionally, the player is expected to receive a €150m signing bonus, which will be spread out over the duration of his contract.
Mbappé, who is currently representing France in the ongoing European Championship, is anticipated to be officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player at the Bernabéu. The announcement is expected to be made following the conclusion of Mbappé’s international duties with France. During a conversation with France President Emmanuel Macron at the national team’s training camp, Mbappé hinted at the imminent reveal by the Spanish giants on Monday evening.
Sources have disclosed that Mbappé has already taken steps to settle in Madrid by securing a residence in the city. The French star has reportedly purchased the house formerly owned by ex-Real Madrid player Gareth Bale in the prestigious La Finca area on the outskirts of Madrid. This move indicates Mbappé’s commitment to his new club and showcases his readiness to embrace this new chapter in his career.
Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappé dates back several years, with the club making notable attempts to sign the player in the past. Mbappé nearly joined Madrid in 2017 after departing Monaco and came close to a transfer again in 2022 before deciding to remain at Paris Saint-Germain. With Real Madrid recently clinching a double triumph in the form of the Champions League and LaLiga titles, the addition of Mbappé is expected to further bolster their already formidable squad.
While Mbappé’s PSG secured the Ligue 1 championship, they suffered a setback in the Champions League semifinals. In contrast, Real Madrid achieved a remarkable feat by claiming their 15th European Cup with a decisive 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. The addition of Mbappé to an already successful team is poised to elevate Real Madrid’s stature in both domestic and international competitions.
