When will Real Madrid announce Kylian Mbappé?

The longest soap opera in football history is about to come to an end. As announced today by the prestigious French newspaper L’Équipe, Real Madrid will announce the signing of Kylian Mbappé in the next few hours. The Bondy prodigy has committed for five seasons, until June 2029. The French international said goodbye to Paris Saint-Germain a few days ago after lifting the French Cup title, a club to which he belongs until June 30, but His new destination only needs officialdom. And this will happen, according to the French media, just 48 hours after the whites have lifted the Fifteenth Champions League at Wembley.

Kylian Mbappé, who this year has had his highest scoring season with 43 goals to which he adds 10 assists, is already concentrated with the French National Team, which is his main asset for the Euro Cup, and is leaving PSG after seven years of frustration in which he has not been able to raise the competition designed for the best players in the world.

The agreement is total between the world champion in 2018 and runner-up in 2022 and the entity that Florentino Pérez has chaired for months, and they would have an agreement for the next five campaigns after a love story and short circuits that began in Valdebebas when the star Parisian was about to turn 14 years old. It is expected that we will have to wait until after the continental tournament to see Mbappé wearing the Real Madrid shirt for the first time, emulating the great staging that the Santiago Bernabéu experienced some time ago. Figo was presented in 2000 in the Honor Box with the number 10 shirt. Zidane succeeded him. More than 400 journalists saw him pose with the number 5 in the Ice Pavilion. In 2002 Ronaldo gathered 500 journalists in the Bernabéu Press room. A year later, Beckham broke the record for accredited journalists, with 544 at the Raimundo Saporta. Kaká opened the presentations with the public, and brought 50,000 people into the Bernabéu. In 2009 Karim Benzema gathered 15,000. Cristiano Ronaldo was the no-brainer. With the Portuguese the Bernabéu was filled to capacity: 85,000 people. Mbappé will break records.

The striker will earn 15 million euros net per season and will have around 80% of his image rights. The signing bonus that he will receive and that will complete his salary has not been revealed.

The European Cup has been the main cause of the project of the Qatari princes, who have spent 1,349 million euros in the last seven years; and the goal that the player always wanted to achieve before saying goodbye to the club he joined in 2017 from Monaco. A bitter end to a bitter journey for the top scorer in PSG history with 255 goals in 305 games, who sees how to achieve the dream of the Champions League he must end up in the surroundings of La Castellana, where he could land in 2022 before that political pressures and succulent economic offers changed the paradigm.

Mbappé now needs Real Madrid more than Real Madrid needs Mbappé to seek a competition that has turned its back on him several times while he is a fetish in Chamartín. And Florentino Pérez knows it well, that this summer he will achieve a perfect play. The player arrives after finishing his contract in Paris and without paying an exorbitant transfer fee, questioned as the best player in the world and with a lot to prove after his umpteenth failure in the Old Continent, where he has only passed the second round three times.
