Fresh off winning its record 15th Champions League title, Real Madrid has officially finalized the long-expected addition of superstar forward and France captain Kylian Mbappé.
Fresh off winning its record 15th UEFA Champions League title, Real Madrid officially announced the long-expected signing of superstar forward Kylian Mbappé on Monday. The contract is a five-year deal worth 15 million euros, equivalent to $16.2 million, per year, per a report from ESPN. Mbappé is also reportedly receiving a signing bonus worth 150 million euros that will be spread out over the course of his contract.
As a 19-year-old in the 2018 FIFA Men's World Cup, Mbappé scored four goals to help Les Bleus win the title and was named Best Young Player in the tournament after becoming the first male teenager to both score a brace in a World Cup match and score in the World Cup Final since Pelé. Four years later, Mbappé won 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup Golden Boot after his eight goals nearly carried an injury-plagued France squad to a repeat World Cup title.
