Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of World Cup-winner Kylian Mbappe on a five-year deal.
The France striker will officially join the 15-time European champions on July 1st, the day after his contract with Paris St Germain expires.
Mbappe, 25, announced earlier this year he would leave PSG this summer.
Un sueño hecho realidad.
Muy feliz y orgulloso de formar parte del club de mis sueños @realmadrid Es imposible explicar lo feliz y emocionado que me siento en este momento. Estoy impaciente por veros, Madridistas, y gracias por vuestro increíble apoyo.

A statement from the Spanish club read: “Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe have reached an agreement for him to be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons.”
The confirmation makes official one of the worst-kept secrets in football with Mbappe having been strongly linked with a switch to the Bernabeu Stadium for several months.
Mbappe is currently with the France squad preparing for Euro 2024 and will formally link up with Real after his involvement in the tournament ends.
He will join a club on a high after they captured their record-extending 15th European title with victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final on Saturday.
This came after they secured the LaLiga crown last month.
Mbappe wrote on X: “A dream made reality. Very happy and proud to form part of the club of my dreams, Real Madrid.
“It is impossible to explain how happy and emotional I feel in this moment.”
