Real Madrid have announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer after the France captain left Paris Saint-Germain.
The 25-year-old, who is PSG's record goalscorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances, has signed a five-year contract at the Bernabeu worth €15m a year after tax. He will receive a signing-on bonus of just over £85m from Real, who will pay the fee in instalments over the duration of his contract.
'Real Madrid have been trying for so many years, it even began when he was 11 years old when he went to the club for a trial with the U12s side. He decided not to stay because his parents felt he was better off staying in France to grow and develop. 'In 2017, that was the real first time they came in for him when he was at Monaco. It didn't work out as PSG came in and hijacked the deal. It's been on and off again for the last seven years. It really is happening this time.
