The highly anticipated transfer of French soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain to Spanish Champions League champions Real Madrid is officially happening. Real Madrid made it official that they've signed the 2018 World Cup champ. Mbappé will be signing a five-year contract in the Spanish capital, all the way up to mid-2029. The best part? Since his contract at PSG is ending in the summer, Real doesn't have to pay a transfer fee.

There's been a lot of buzz about where the Paris-born Mbappé would end up, thanks to his soon-to-expire contract. He's been with PSG since his transfer from AS Monaco in 2017 and is currently their record goalscorer. He's helped them win the championship six times and the cup four times.

Mbappé almost joined Real in 2022

The captain of the French national team had yet to claim a Champions League title. In 2020, he got to the final of the King's Class under coach Thomas Tuchel, but lost 0:1 to Bayern Munich. The year before that, his team was eliminated in the semi-finals after two 0:1 losses against Borussia Dortmund. This year, Dortmund was defeated by Real in the final with a score of 0:2.

Mbappé almost joined Real in 2022, his favorite team from his youth. However, at that time, he decided to extend his contract in the French capital again. Mbappé will now play for Real Madrid. And guess who else plays for them? His three national teammates: Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurélien Tchouameni.
