It’s now been confirmed by multiple sources, including the BBC, that Kylian Mbappe has signed a contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) when his current deal expires on June 30.
The 25-year-old France striker will officially move to Spain when the La Liga transfer window opens on July 1. Mbappe, PSG’s record goalscorer, signed the deal with Madrid until 2029, earning €15 million per season plus a €150 million signing-on bonus. The transfer will be formally announced next week, with a potential presentation at the Bernabeu before Euro 2024.
Mbappe, a World Cup winner in 2018, is PSG’s record goalscorer with 256 goals since he joined them from Monaco on an initial loan in 2017.
He has agreed a deal with Real until 2029, earning 15m euros (£12.8m) a season, plus a 150m euro (£128m) signing-on bonus to be paid over five years, and he will keep a percentage of his image rights.
Real will hold a trophy parade through the Spanish capital on Sunday night following their record-extending success.
