Mbappe, who clinched the World Cup victory in 2018, holds the title of Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer, tallying an impressive 256 goals since his arrival from Monaco on an initial loan in 2017.
Recently, the talented forward secured a deal with Real Madrid until 2029. The agreement promises him an annual salary of 15 million euros (£12.8 million) along with a staggering signing bonus of 150 million euros (£128 million), distributed over five years. Additionally, Mbappe retains a portion of his image rights.
Scheduled to commence his stint with Real Madrid on a free transfer after the expiration of his Paris St-Germain contract on June 30, the French striker's decision was already hinted in February and confirmed in May. His official move to Spain awaits the opening of the La Liga transfer window on July 1.
Expected to be formally unveiled by Real Madrid next week, Mbappe's arrival could coincide with the conclusion of Euro 2024. This transition offers him the opportunity to play alongside Luka Modric, the veteran Croatian midfielder, who is poised to extend his tenure with the club for another year.
Modric, aged 38, played a pivotal role as Madrid secured their 15th European Cup title with a 2-0 triumph against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley. Although German midfielder Toni Kroos, aged 34, bid farewell to the club after a decade-long stint, Modric's imminent contract extension ensures his continued presence on the field.
