Real Madrid have announced the signing of world cup-winning French striker, Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germain (PSG) after many years of pursuing the youngster.
The announcement is coming just few days after Real Madrid won their 15th European cup, defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the final of the Uefa Champions league courtesy of goals by Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jnr.
The addition of Mbappe to this Real Madrid is sure to take the team to a new level, considering that the superstar enjoyed his highest scoring season with PSG (44 goals) last season and has been the top scorer in the last six Ligue 1 seasons.
Un sueño hecho realidad.
Muy feliz y orgulloso de formar parte del club de mis sueños @realmadrid Es imposible explicar lo feliz y emocionado que me siento en este momento. Estoy impaciente por veros, Madridistas, y gracias por vuestro increíble apoyo.
¡Hala Madrid! 🤍🤍🤍— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) June 3, 2024
Real Madrid did not made secret of their desire to sign Mbappe, with the striker almost leaving PSG at the end of last-season after a long drawn battle with the team before making a U-turn on his decision in the last minute.
Reacting to his latest move, Mbappe took to social media to share his delight on the new adventure. He share pictures from his younger days in a Real Madrid shirt as well as a picture of himself and Cristiano Ronaldo. He wrote:
“A dream come true, So happy and proud to join the club of my dream @realmadrid
Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid! 🤍🤍🤍”, he wrote.
