Paris St-Germain’s (PSG) star striker, Kylian Mbappe, has made a decisive move by agreeing to join Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old France captain has communicated his intention to leave PSG, with his contract set to expire in June. While Mbappe has yet to finalize a contract with Real Madrid, the announcement of the deal is expected after the clubs conclude their Champions League encounters for the season.
Upon his anticipated move to Real Madrid, Mbappe is poised to sign a lucrative five-year contract, with an annual salary of 15 million euros (£12.8 million), coupled with a substantial signing-on bonus of 150 million euros (£128 million) to be distributed over five years, alongside a share of his image rights. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has already formulated plans for Mbappe’s integration into the team, envisioning him in a left-of-center role, alongside strategic adjustments involving other key players.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid will go down as the most disastrous transfer of all time.
He will divide and scatter the dressing room with his ego, take over the Penalty duties from Jude Bellingham and make sure everything is about himself alone.

With his impending transition to Real Madrid, Mbappe’s potential impact is already a subject of speculation, including the possibility of inheriting the coveted number 10 shirt if Croatia midfielder Luka Modric departs. Meanwhile, PSG and Real Madrid remain engaged in their Champions League pursuits, with PSG holding a 2-0 advantage against Real Sociedad and Real Madrid leading RB Leipzig 1-0 after the first leg of their last-16 ties.
Mbappe, who boasts an impressive record of 244 goals for PSG, expressed his desire to resolve his future early, meeting PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi on 13th February to convey his decision to join Real Madrid. Following reports of his departure, Mbappe notably came off the bench to score a penalty in PSG’s match against Nantes, maintaining their dominance at the top of Ligue 1 by a 14-point margin.
