Just days after winning the 2024 UEFA Champions League, football giant, Real Madrid, have signed superstar Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint Germain. Arguably the best player in the world, Mbappé, 25, will follow his dreams of joining the Spanish side as he looks to add to his already storied career. The move makes perfect sense for both parties, as Madrid were able to land the Frenchman on a free transfer, but the move didn’t come without its drama. Before the start of the 2022/23 season, Mbappé had made it clear that he wanted to leave Paris, with all signs pointing that Madrid was his preferred landing spot. Not willing to let him leave, PSG slapped a $430 million price tag on the French winger, making it nearly impossible for a club to afford him. Annoyed, Mbappé announced that he wouldn’t be activating the 3rd year of his contract, making him a free agent at the end of the season. The saga came to an end this week, as the player announced his transfer to Real Madrid via Instagram. The post was historical in many ways, as it boasts the new most liked comment on Instagram from who else but Cristiano Ronaldo, with the GOAT’s comment reaching 5 million likes and counting. Mbappé will look to continue to set the footballing world on fire during his time at Madrid and add the elusive Champions League trophy to his already impressive cabinet.
