Is the deal already completed? According to Marca, Kylian Mbappe (25 years old) signed for Real Madrid two weeks ago. The reason he told Paris Saint-Germain president Al-Khelaifi on Tuesday morning was that there was no point in making a new offer.
News leaked early last Thursday evening that Mbappe informed Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi two days ago that he would officially leave the French capital.
According to Marca, Real Madrid's internal newspaper, Mbappe has already signed his contract with Real Madrid. “Two weeks ago, Real Madrid and Mbappe had already concluded and signed an agreement for a period of five years. The French striker will become an official Real Madrid player as of July 1,” the newspaper wrote on Monday morning. “In 133 days, the most comprehensive transfer saga of the last decade will end.”
Other clubs
The player's entourage are said to have informed interested clubs in recent days that it no longer makes sense to explore the Mbappé option. Because he has already given his official word and writing to Real Madrid. For this reason, Mbappé told Al-Khelaifi on the same Tuesday morning that PSG's improved contract proposal had no meaning. This is something Al-Khelaifi had already expected. In Paris, it has been known for some time that Mbappe definitely wants to go to Real Madrid. That is why his option for another year at Paris Saint-Germain was not taken into consideration.
According to the newspaper “Marca”, Mbappe will become the highest paid player in Real Madrid, without reaching extraordinary proportions. After all, Real Madrid does not want to inflate the payroll, as that would cause friction within the dressing room. He will not get much more than Kroos and Modric, who earn between 20 and 25 million euros annually. Although Mbappe faces a huge signing bonus as he is not on any transfers.
Mbappé, who has scored 21 goals in 20 games this season, started on the bench last weekend due to all the transfer woes. The first Parisian club was not on the market in Nantes. Two minutes after Hernandez's opening goal, the sharpshooter entered. Ten minutes before the referee's whistle, he scored the final score 0-2 from a penalty kick.
