Real Madrid Announce Signing of Mbappe

Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe on a five-year deal. The France striker will officially join the 15-time European champions on July 1, the day after his contract with Paris St Germain expires. Mbappe, 25, announced earlier this year he would leave PSG this summer. A statement from the Spanish club read: "Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement for him to be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons." Mbappe is currently with the France squad preparing for Euro 2024 and will formally link up with Real after his involvement in the tournament ends. He will join a club on a high after they captured their record-extending 15th European title with a victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final on Saturday. This came after they secured the La Liga crown last month. The transfer comes six years after Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco. He won six Ligue 1 titles with PSG and scored 256 goals in 308 appearances for the club. He also won the F rench Cup four times. . Source: Qatar News Agency
