The people of Madrid welcome the arrival of Mbappé
After years of chasing him, “finally Mbappé” is a Real Madrid player, as the newspaper proudly displays A.S. this Tuesday morning. And it will be for the next 5 years. The transfer of the century was made official yesterday through a simple press release, at 7:29 p.m. precisely. The tweet had the effect of a bomb and crashed the Real Madrid website as the news was so awaited. For the newspaper Marca, “what Mbappé always dreamed of” finally came true, namely wearing the Madrid colors. In any case, this is the message that the Frenchman wanted to convey when he himself made the news official on his social networks. By posting several photos of himself as a child in the Real Madrid outfit, the 25-year-old player put Madrid fans in the pocket, while they insulted him just a few years ago. In short, as usual, Kyks has perfect control of its communication and that has the merit of convincing everyone. From players to club legends, everyone is extremely happy with the arrival of the Frenchman.
France wishes Kyks good luck…
9 years. France has benefited from its jewel all these years, between his time at AS Monaco and PSG. Now it’s time for the child prodigy to take flight. The newspaper The Team would like to pay tribute to the Frenchman and above all to wish him good luck in his new adventure. “Hala Mbappé!”, plasters the French daily on its front page. Although his adventure at PSG ended in disaster, we must not forget the mark he left with the Rouge et Bleu and in the French championship. The Team presents an infographic with the player’s stats in all competitions at club level, from his debut at Monaco then at PSG. For ProvenceMbappé at Real Madrid, it’s “the meaning of history” while The Parisian goes behind the scenes of his departure for the Spanish capital. French football is losing its greatest jewel, but will obviously continue to follow it very closely.
Europe trembles for next season
From Mbappé to Real Madrid, we’re talking about it all over Europe and for once it’s justified. The Guardian mentions the 5-year contract worth €125 million that he signed. If Mbappé will receive less in fixed salary than what he had at PSG, the Frenchman will still hit the jackpot with other variables. With €15 million annually, he will be the highest paid player in the Madrid locker room ahead of Vinicius Jr and Bellingham and ahead of the elders Kroos and Modric. To this amount, you must add your signing bonus, set at €100 million, which will be spread over 5 years. The agreement also stipulates that the player will be able to keep 100% of the contracts signed before signing at Casa Blanca and, in those that are closed after, 20% will return to the club. Quite staggering figures which should allow him to maintain his status as one of the highest paid players in the world. Contrary to appearances, Real Madrid still made efforts to recruit Mbappé. For La Gazzetta dello Sport, it is totally justified. The pink paper newspaper is now wondering who will be able to beat this Real Madrid. Bellingham wanted to remind the football world that next season, Real Madrid’s attacking quartet will be made up of Vinicius-Mbappé-Bellingham-Rodrygo. Enough to shake any defense…
