Kylian Mbappe has already signed his five-year contract with Real Madrid, a move that has seen him end his seven-year career with Paris Saint-Germain. In his last meeting with his former club, he notified them about his exit and requested them not to serve him with a contract renewal.
His reason for the request is based on the fact that he has already signed with Real Madrid. The club also agreed to lower image rights conditions in that it was essential to close the seal so that the player’s salary does not blow up the salary table of the white club.
His salary at the club will be higher but not too far from the highest-paid players in the squad. This move has been years in the making, with Real Madrid pursuing Mbappe since he joined PSG in 2017.
The decision came as a priority of the sporting aspect and playing for his dream team Real Madrid over a potentially higher salary offer from PSG. His arrival is seen as a major coup for Real Madrid, strengthening their attack with one of the most exciting young talents.
It is also a significant moment for him to fulfil his longtime ambition to play for the Spanish giants. This move is eagerly being anticipated by the fans, to see the impact he will have on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid boasts a dynamic attack with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, with his arrival, they could create a devastating attack trio. The club’s Champions League obsession is well known and his experience and anticipation for trophies could be the missing piece in their quest for European dominance.
Mbappe thrives in counter-attacking systems that utilize his speed and Real Madrid, often applies such tactics potentially leading to a smoother adaptation for him, helping them propel back to the top of the table, especially with their recent signings like Bellingham.
