Breaking: Real Madrid announce Kylian Mbappe signing

Real Madrid have announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe, who left PSG at the end of the 2023-24 season. The Frenchman had already informed the Parisians at the start of the campaign that he would leave in the summer.

Los Blancos were widely regarded as Mbappe's next destination, and the newly crowned UEFA Champions League winner has confirmed the same, announcing the Frenchman's signing on a free transfer.

In a statement on their website, Los Blancos posted the signing of Mbappe on a five-year deal:

"Real Madrid CF and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement whereby he will be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons.'

Having been in pursuit of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner since 2022, Los Blancos have finally been successful in landing Mbappe, widely regarded as one of the best young strikers in the game currently.

Mbappe joins a youthful Los Blancos attack comprising Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes, making Carlo Ancelotti's side huge favourites to go back-to-back in the UEFA Champions League next season and also dominate domestically.
