"A dream come true," Mbappe said on X. "So happy and proud to join the club of my dream. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can't wait to see you, Madridistas , and thanks for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid!" #WelcomeMbappé pic.twitter.com/kAhxdEjnLAThe 25-year-old World Cup winner joins a Madrid team that is already loaded with talent and still celebrating its latest European triumph — and sixth in 10 seasons.
His signing could revive Madrid's "galatico" squads, when it had some of the world's top players including Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Brazil's Ronaldo, David Beckham, Luis Figo and Karim Benzema, among others.The current Madrid players were quick to welcome their newest teammate."I don't know if we won the Champion League on Saturday or if we won it today with Mbappe's signing," former Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas said.
He, instead, opted to join Monaco's youth academy, and became a teenage sensation when he helped lead the Principality club to the Champions League semifinals in 2017. Mbappe studied Spanish while he was with Monaco and speaks it well, which should help him blend well into a team that also features French players Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy.
