BREAKING: Kylian #Mbappe Signs 5-Year Contract With Real Madrid [DETAILS]—According to reports from Spain, Kylian Mbappe has signed his Real Madrid contract and agreed a deal until 2029 with the LaLiga giants.
The French superstar has been purused by the Spanish outfit for years and rumours he could join only intensified after informing PSG last week he would be leaving in the summer, with his contract set to expire.
And now Marca have reported that Mbappe already put pen to paper on his deal to join Madrid two weeks ago, with the player ‘making a firm commitment’ to the Bernabeu outfit
Mail Sport reported last week that Madrid are willing to make Mbappe the club’s top earner, surpassing the £10.3m per season they pay Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.
They will also pay a signing-on fee of around £85.5million and open talks over what percentage of his image rights he retains.
The report from Marca claims Mbappe’s camp told PSG ‘not to bother’ making him further offers to stay at the French club because he had already struck a deal with Madrid.
Los Blancos had contacted the player’s entourage in the early days of the new year to enquire if he was still planning to join Madrid after negotiations between the two camps the previous summer, it says, with Mbappe giving a ‘positive’ response.
It adds that Madrid no longer saw Mbappe as a player they wanted to sign ‘at any price’, knowing that they already had Vinicius Jr and Bellingham as ‘two of the best footballers on the planet’.
But at the start of February the club opened full negotiations looking to seal the deal as quickly as possible.
Mbappe is set to earn between £12m and £17m a year in Madrid plus bonuses – which means he would have to take a significant pay cut after earning a reported £22m a year from his lucrative deal at PSG.
That would place him ‘not too far’ from Madrid’s top earners Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Amid the speculation over his potential exit, PSG club president Nassr Al-Khelaifi previously stated that he wanted the winger to stay at the club, claiming that it was the best fit for him.
He told RMC: ‘Look, I’m not hiding anything.
‘For sure I want Mbappe to stay. For me he is the best in the world and for me the best club for Kylian is Paris.’
Mbappe joined the Parisian side in 2017 from Monaco, initially on a loan deal, before the French giants splashed out a whopping £155m to make his transfer permanent.
