MBAPPE FINALLY GETS HIS REAL MADRID DREAM

This move has been in the post for some time. Mbappe signed an extension with PSG to make him one of the world’s richest and most powerful players, but there were always suspicions that his heart was set on Real Madrid. According to today’s reports, Mbappe will move to the Spanish capital on a five-year deal of €15m a year. Over and above that €75m salary figure throughout the contract, the 25-year-old will also land a signing-on bonus of €150m. All in all, Madrid will shell out €225m to get their man.

MBAPPE IS NO STRANGER TO THE BIG STAGE

Kylian Mbappe scored in the 2018 World Cup final, becoming the first teenager to do so since Brazilian icon Pele. He memorably scored a hat-trick in the 2022 final but ended up on the losing side in one of football’s greatest-ever contests. The UEFA Champions League still eludes Mbappe, and winning Europe’s greatest club prize is one if his primary motivations for swapping Paris and Madrid.
