Transfer News: Mbappe signs Real Madrid deal

-

Kylian Mbappe has signed a contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer once his current deal with Paris St-Germain expires on 30th June. 

The French striker had agreed to the move in February and confirmed his departure from PSG in May. 

Mbappe, who is 25 years old, has finalised the terms with Real Madrid and will be moving to Spain when the La Liga transfer window opens on 1st July.

Mbappe signs Real Madrid deal

The official announcement of the deal is expected to be made by Real Madrid over the next few days. Mbappe will be formally presented at the Bernabeu after Euro 2024. 

Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017, Mbappe has become their all-time leading goalscorer with 256 goals. He has agreed to a contract with Real Madrid until 2029, with an annual salary of 15 million euros (£12.8m), a signing-on bonus of 150 million euros (£128m) to be paid over five years, and a share of his image rights.

The best reaction

Ana, a Real Madrid fan now living in England, told us: "This is a player that will really add something special to this team. Ancelotti has a challenge now getting all these players into the side. If any manager can do this, I'm sure the Italian will do a great job."

Thoma, another Real Madrid fan, posted on Facebook: "Mbappe is going to bring something exceptional to the team. We are European champions and we are already signing one of the best players in the world at the moment."

Wiliam, a Liverpool fan, said: "He is a fantastic player. Liverpool were linked with him at one point and he would have been an amazing signing for us. It will be interesting to see if he disrupts the team spirit at the club that was in evidence at the recent Champions League final. It would also be worth seeing if any players leave them now. Similar to how Robben left when Cristiano Ronaldo signed from Manchester United. Rodrygo would be a great signing for Liverpool if he's no longer in Madrid's plans following this signing."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
