"Wow. It's incredible to be here," Mbappé said in Spanish to the crowd. "I dreamt for many years about playing for Real Madrid, and today that dream comes true. ... Since I was a kid I had one dream, to play here. Being here means a lot to me ... Now I want to achieve another dream, being at the level of this club, the best in the world. I can say one thing: I'll give everything for this club and this badge."

Los Blancos announced Mbappé's addition on June 3 after he revealed a few weeks earlier that he was leaving Paris Saint-Germain.

Per ESPN's Julien Laurens and Alex Kirkland, Mbappé's deal with Real Madrid is for five years and $16.2 million annually after taxes.

The Athletic's Mario Cortegana and Dermot Corrigan noted that adding Mbappé has been an "obsession" for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez dating back to 2012 when the dynamic forward was a 14-year-old who took part in a training session and attended a match against Espanyol.

Mbappé spent the past seven years with PSG and is the club's all-time leading scorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances. The club won six Ligue 1 titles and four French Cup titles with him on the roster.

Now, Real Madrid will look to continue its dominance with Mbappé joining a roster that already features Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Joselu.

Los Blancos is coming off a 2023-24 season in which they won the La Liga and Champions League titles. They will open the 2024-25 La Liga season against Mallorca on Aug. 18.
