Mbappe to Real Madrid - Official

What if its Barca or Atletico Madrid

If they were to combine both of their finances, they still wouldn't have enough

or worse Man United

Man Utd is such a mess i don't think Mbappé even considers them

We cant even afford 50m for nico williams

Man City and RM seems the only realistic destinations imo

PSG hasn't paid Mbappe's wages since March and none of the bonuses have been paid this season. So there looks to be a reason that Mbappe is playing "conservatively" since the Barca tie... he's not getting paid and did not want to risk injury.

The judicial process has already started with Mbappe getting ready to take PSG to court.

according to l'Equipe.

The sheiks are strapped for cash suddenly? petty behavior

Finally official.

Some of the numbers:

100-120 million signing bonus (Romano says 100; Sky says 120)
15-20 million net wages (l'Equipe says 20, AS says 15)
80% of image rights (RMC and l'Equipe; this is where he'll make most of his money.  It's typically 50/50 at Real Madrid)

Welcome to the family

After all the years gone, I am glad that this saga has found its end. Cant wait to see what he is capable of

It is a testament to the grandiosity of Real Madrid and the context that the club has put itself in that Mbappe's signing is somewhat muted in feeling today. More hype and fireworks will come, but Real Madrid is in charge... and in heaven.

That feeling was so strong for me yesterday during the celebrations that it occurred to me briefly that perhaps only a freak disaster could get in our way.

A week or so ago, Cadiz FC's whole team and staff almost died in a plane crash and they had to cancel their flight to El Salvador for a testimonial to their legendary "Magico Gonzalez", Madrid and the NTs better enforce a super tight quality control on the aircraft and the crew they use.

Yesterday's street celebrations and how close I saw fans getting to players' cars as they were headed home, as well as the pitch invaders in the CL final that the Wembley security were apparently incompetent at dealing with also brought to mind that terrorists/any type of maniac could want to pull off some kind of psychotic statement of evil or a "Monica Seles".

And of course, players have to protect themselves from injuries and getting overplayed in these NT competitions.

To quote Marca's headline from Saturday as they borrowed the renowned English expression...

God save the king.

We just won the champions league. I still maintain we don't need this guy.

But since he's arrived all the same... Might as well be useful.

Humility is the key says Carlo. So he best know his role and shut his mouth until he brings us an important title.

Though if he truly desires to make a legend of his own... There is one thing he could do to establish his own legacy.

Real madrid have yet to win the league, cdr and cl together in the same season. I guess he can start from there but another cl would be appreciated as well.

He's not signing for Madrid. And i think i'm with Turok on this one, we need a striker yes, but with this win and all the pressure, I'm not sure if I want Mbappe. Problem is who else is available? But i don't believe anything until it happens.

i can't believe i posted what i posted above and seconds later i'm on Realmadrid.com and its official. hmm i just hope we don't go galactico ways with this

Curious to see how he gets along with the rest of the team. RM is obviously stacked, but having 3 BdO contenders in the same team sounds challenging.

I'm more intrigued about the tactical fit. This could create more problems than any potential ego clash. Just look at these heatmaps ffs

High speed one-twos

So vini wins the BdO and Is forced to play out of position as a result?

Its been known since like february dude

Everything points to Real domination for ages going forward... but still im dreaming a bit of a slight chance this might be something that may not turn out to be that perfect or even negatively affect the team hopefully from a rivals POV

Otherwise, it really would be among the longest domination in football by a club or even in sports in general? Most dominating teams prolly last at most like 5-10 yrs at the top? Teams like Man U, Bayern, PSG, etc obviously more or less longer with occasional teams piping them for a league or two once in a while but u know what I mean... hope La Liga doesnt turn into that, but prolly will, or even worst, cos us n the rest suck

But as a more neutral fans POV who loves watching football, I definitely will be happy to watch them do all sorts of crazy tricks n flicks n link ups n magic n loads of goals...

He will prbably rotate. Vini sort of played as a striker with Rodrigo with Bellingham playing as the 10/9.5 in some games.

That’s what being speculated now. Vini has played more centrally this year and also to move towards centre (from left) once he has possession whereas Mbappe tends to stay on left. It won’t be a normal 9 and attack will no doubt be leaning to left especially if Davies does come plus Rodrygo also tends to drift to left.

I think longer range will be the development of Endick and/or Güler replacing Rodrygo.

That is the biggest issue IMO. This current team has amazing camaraderie with no big egos. I don’t think I have ever seen team chemistry like this before. A lot of this has to do with the veterans (Kroos, Modric, Nacho, Lucas, Carvajal) as well as Carlo. Plus it is a team where the entire squad plays with Carlo’s confidence making for very deep depth. The challenge will be on Mbappe fitting in with that team chemistry and keeping his ego in check. He definitely will not be the “man” as Sports had projected with two BdO contenders already established on team.

Unfortunately I think some hard decisions are going to have to be made. I honestly find it difficult to see how Vini and Mbappe will perform optimally together, but Carlo has a history of blending players together that don't seem to fit.

Guler is the one to watch out for tbh. I can see him being a monster on the rw.
