After months of speculation, Kylian Mbappé has officially signed with Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old French superstar will wear the iconic number 9 jersey, once worn by club legends like Ronaldo Nazário.

Mbappé’s move to the Spanish giants comes after a successful seven-year spell at PSG, where he won multiple Ligue 1 titles and reached the Champions League final. The striker reportedly signed a five-year contract with a significant signing bonus and performance-based incentives.

In his first official statement as a Madrid player, Mbappé said:

“It’s a dream come true to play for the club I’ve admired since I was a kid. I can’t wait to start this new chapter and win trophies with Real Madrid.”

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez welcomed the signing, calling Mbappé “a player who defines the future of football.”

Fans have already started celebrating across Spain and France, anticipating a powerful attacking trio featuring Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Jude Bellingham
