‘It’s already signed’: Kylian Mbappe agrees to a Real Madrid move on a five-year deal, suggests report | Football News

Paris Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has finally agreed to join the 14-time Champions League winners Real Madrid the end of the ongoing season, suggests a BBC report.
With rumors of the much anticipated signing swirling around over the past month, the Frenchman intends to leave the Ligue 1 club in June and has agreed on a five-year deal with the Spanish giants, which will see him earn 15m euros (£12.8m) per season, plus a 150m euro (£128m) signing-on bonus.
Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid for multiple seasons during his PSG stint, which began in 2017-18 when he made the move to the French capital from AS Monaco. A deal that saw him become the most expensive teenager in football hory. In the 291 games that have followed, Mbappe has scored 244 goals and 93 asss to his name for the Ligue 1 champions.
But at the end of the 2021/22 season, the links for a move to Madrid were the strongest and it was believed that the French winger was set to depart for the Los Blancos at the end of his initial contract with the Parisians but ended up signing a new two-year deal.
A boyhood photo of the prodigious footballer is often shared on social media, where the teenager is clicked around a wall full of Real Madrid and Criano Ronaldo posters in his bedroom, growing up in the suburbs of France. The club manager Florentino Perez has often expressed the desire of bringing the French forward to the Spanish capital.

In Spain however, the transfer – not yet made official – is already considered a done deal with the national sports daily displaying a full page cover of Mbappe with the text, ‘Ya está firmado (It’s already signed)’.
It is also being suggested that if Luca Modric, the veteran Croatian midfielder, leaves Madrid at the end of the season, Mbappe will be donning his number 10 jersey.
