Real Madrid confirm signing of Mbappe from PSG

The announcement drew close to a transfer saga which
expanded over two years.

Real Madrid were committed to signing Mbappe in 2022, but
the Frenchman agreed to a new two-year deal with PSG.

The extension with PSG happened after the involvement of
Emmanuel Macron, the French president, in the negotiation.

Mbappe had announced his departure from PSG last month. He
joined the French champions from AS Monaco in 2017.

The Paris club spent €180 million on the player when he was
18, making him the most expensive teenager in football history and the
second-most expensive footballer ever after Neymar.
