Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has confirmed that the club will sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Perez made the announcement at a press conference on Thursday, saying that Mbappe had "always wanted to play for Real Madrid" and that the club had "finally reached an agreement" with PSG.
"We are very happy to have Kylian Mbappe with us," Perez said. "He is one of the best players in the world and he will be a great addition to our team. We are sure that he will help us to win many more trophies."
Mbappe's signing is a major coup for Real Madrid and a huge blow to PSG. The 23-year-old France international had been heavily linked with a move to the Spanish giants for the past two years, but PSG had always been confident of keeping him.
However, Mbappe's decision to join Real Madrid is a sign that he is determined to win the Champions League, which PSG have never won. Real Madrid have won the Champions League a record 14 times, and Mbappe will be hoping to add to that tally.
Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid is also a major boost for manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach has been under pressure to deliver trophies after failing to win the Champions League since 2018.
With Mbappe in the team, Ancelotti will be confident of challenging for the Champions League again next season. He will also be hoping to win La Liga, which Real Madrid have not won since 2020.
Mbappe's signing is a major statement of intent from Real Madrid. The club are clearly determined to return to the top of European football, and they have shown that they are willing to spend big money to achieve their goals.
It will be interesting to see how Mbappe adapts to life at Real Madrid. He has never played in La Liga before, and he will be under a lot of pressure to perform at the highest level.
However, Mbappe is a talented player with a lot of potential. He has the ability to be one of the best players in the world, and he could be a key part of Real Madrid's success for many years to come.
