Kylian Mbappe Signs for Real Madrid in Historic Deal

The Monaco and PSG legend has finally given a nod to official announcement from his new Football Club - Real Madrid FC. The deal for a long while has been shrouded in secrecy with all sorts of uncertainties. His former club, PSG refused letting him leave in the summer of 2022/2023 season insisting the club will loose a whole lot of fortune if the talented player decides to call it quits with an imminent move to Spain.


Amidst the forgoing brouhaha, the player decided to stay till he could leave the next season as a free agent at the end of the 2023/2024 season. The Real Madrid faithfuls has always prayed for a day like this - having missed the skillful touches of their former magician - Cristiano Ronaldo. His addition will lift their spirit up and for the club owners, they fancy this move as a commercial venture as they aren't lacking a single elite European trophy in their cabinet in the last years.

The have the vibrant young players Vinicius and Jude Bellingham to deliver final touches and win them matches which they have constantly done in the past the season - winning the Spanish La Liga and the UEFA champions league.

The addition is also expected to see some prominent stars leave in the winter break. Some players of course won't be able to fully be integrated into the match day squad as their would be excess players for each wing.
