Kylian Mbappeโs long-anticipated move to Real Madrid was the biggest story of the summer. After letting his contract with Paris Saint-Germain run down, Mbappe fulfilled his dream of joining Los Blancos on a free transfer. Despite being one of footballโs worst-kept secrets, the move was still the most significant business of the window.
Mbappe left PSG with a collection of domestic trophies but without the coveted Champions League title, leading to his decision to join Madrid. Real Madrid didnโt hesitate to meet his demands, offering a hefty signing-on fee of โฌ150 million over five years, along with an annual salary of โฌ15 million. Though heโs yet to score in La Liga, Mbappe has already made his mark by netting in Real Madridโs UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta.
