The eager anticipation of fans for news about Kylian Mbappe’s official signing with Real Madrid was met with frustration when they tried to access the team’s website. The website crashed due to the overwhelming traffic from fans trying to confirm the long-awaited news about Mbappe’s transfer to the Spanish club.
After a 20-minute wait, the website finally came back online with a short statement confirming that Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe had reached an agreement for him to join the team for the next five seasons. Mbappe, considered one of the world’s best players, had previously been courted by the 15-time Champions League winners and finally secured a deal with them in February.
The 25-year-old forward, who is PSG’s record goalscorer, will officially move to Real Madrid when the La Liga transfer window opens on July 1. His contract with Real includes an annual salary of €15 million and a signing bonus of €150 million to be paid over five years, along with a percentage of his image rights.
Mbappe will join a star-studded lineup at Real Madrid, including players like Vinicius Jnr, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick. He will also play alongside veterans like Luka Modric, who is set to extend his contract with the club for another year.
