Kylian Mbappé Celebrates 'Dream Come True' With Real Madrid Move
Kylian Mbappe has realised a long-held ambition by completing his highly anticipated transfer to Real Madrid. The French national team captain has signed a five-year contract with the reigning Champions League winners. Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent in July, following the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Mbappe, who had been the subject of intense transfer speculation, officially announced his departure from PSG in early May. This announcement came after PSG, under the management of Luis Enrique, secured a domestic double by winning the Coupe de France. The forward was previously expected to join Real Madrid during the 2021-22 season but opted to extend his contract with PSG for an additional two years.

Two years later, Real Madrid have finally secured Mbappe's services. The forward expressed his joy on Instagram, stating, "A dream come true. So happy and proud to join the club of my dreams." Mbappe shared his excitement with his 116 million followers, highlighting the significance of this move in his career.
Mbappe leaves PSG as the club's all-time leading scorer, having netted 256 goals, including 44 goals in 48 appearances last season. His focus now shifts to Euro 2024, where he will aim to help Didier Deschamps' France secure their third European Championship title. France will look to improve on their performance in the 2022 World Cup, where they reached the final.
Les Bleus are set to complete their Euro 2024 preparations with friendly matches against Luxembourg and Canada this week. They will kick off their campaign against Austria on June 17 and will also face the Netherlands and Poland in Group D.
