3rd June 2024: The Day Real Madrid Confirmed The Signing Of Kylian Mbappe

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.03/06/2024

Real Madrid C.F. and Kylian Mbappé have reached an agreement under which he will become a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons.

After several years of being in the dark as to whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid or not, it has finally happened on this day; Real Madrid confirms the signing of Kylian Mabppe, the French international.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the most high-profile and impactful signings in the history of football and possibly sports. The announcement came just a few days after Real Madrid secured their 15th Champions League title, marking a monumental moment for the club.

History has indicated the drama surrounding the signings of so many top talents, but the signing of Kylian Mbappe by Real Madrid is sincerely one of a kind. The kind that will be discussed for many years to come.

The epitome of a saga, filled with ups and downs, love and heartbreak, culminating in a happy ending for the club. The French superstar and Real Madrid have signed a five-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2029.

The journey to Mbappe‘s signing began nearly two years ago, shortly after he left Real Madrid at the altar in May 2022. Under immense pressure from Paris, France, and Qatar, Mbappe renewed his contract with PSG just when Real Madrid had everything ready to welcome him.

Attempts were made in 2017 when Mbappe played for Monaco, but he chose PSG due to uncertainties about his starting position at Madrid.

Another effort was made in 2021, but PSG rejected a 200 million euro offer. In 2022, without negotiations, Mbappe renewed with PSG under significant pressure. Finally, on the fourth attempt, and just when many Madrid fans had resigned to the idea that he might never wear the white jersey, Mbappe joins Real Madrid.

As realized to be one key quality of a leader, patience is all that Florentino Perez portrayed up until now. Despite the disappointment, reconciliation quickly followed, laying the groundwork for the signing this summer. Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, secured Mbappe, who worked diligently to ensure his freedom by June 30, 2024, a year earlier than initially agreed with PSG.

Florentino Perez and Mbappe executed a flawless strategy last summer to finalize the signing of the century. Perez made PSG uneasy by denying any ongoing negotiations, while Mbappe remained resolute in his decision not to extend his contract with PSG. This impeccable plan ultimately brought Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu.
