Two rejections, one betrayal and 7 years of waiting: The story of Mbappé's signing for Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappé Is player of the Real Madrid, after what has seemed an eternity. It has signed an agreement by the next five seasons, until the 2029, to lead one of the projects more 'explosive' of Europe. The one of Bondy arrives like free agent and in conditions to continue on its way to turn into the best player of the world, a place that now will have to 'litigate' with his new mates, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. The competition is maximum.

The player has commented that it is "a dream done reality" and that is "very happy and proud to form part of the club of my dreams, the Real Madrid", but for him is not the only that supposes a big aim fulfilled. Florentino Pérez, president of the entity madridista, is giving by "fact" a signing in which it carries insisting since Mbappé was very young. No by at all it was invited in 2013 so that it knew the installations of the Sportive City, Valdebebas. Since, it has been on the table.

A history that began in 2017

The White House has carried varied, maybe too many, hits in his attempt to achieve the incorporation of the of Bondy. Lto first, in 2017, had to have been a signal that it went to be one of the big 'serials' of the history of the world of the football. It was despuntando in the ACE Monaco of Tie it 1, challenging the command of the Paris Saint-Germain, and the Madrid was had to credit 180 million euros to complete his traspaso and, as diverse informations, the figure increased until the 214 'kilos' after knowing that they had to assume a tax of €34m.

The Real Madrid assumed the increase of price, but the footballer opted by the option of mudarse to his city, Paris. Andn Spain went it to have very 'difficult', because it was in full explosion the BBC (Bleat, Benzema and Cristiano). The Monaco, that had denied in a principle to 'reinforce' to a direct rival, negotiated with Nasser To the-Khelaïfi and company so that they equalised the offer of €180m (after paying the €220m of Neymar Jr), during the last day of the market of signings.

Mbappé Left yielded to the Park of the Princes with an option of compulsory purchase of €145m more variable of €35m in case that they sold him or renewed his agreement. It was the most logical option for a PSG that finish to credit the €222m of Neymar Jr, although it arrived to inform that the real reason was to avoid the payment of a tax of 30 'kilos' by the cession.

2021, year of 'terror' in Madrid

Mbappé Did not take in turning into the offensive reference of the Parisian group. It broke records, reigned in Paris and was strengthening his candidature to turn into the 'successor' of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid expected patiently and did to a side. In 2018, in fact, in front of the rumours on some possible negotiations, published a communiqué to deny it: "In front of the informations published in the last hours referents to a supposed agreement between the Real Madrid C. F. And the PSG by the player Kylian Mbappé, the Real Madrid self-evident that they are categorically false".

In 2021 they went back to begin the rumours. With the arrival of Leo Messi to the Park of the Princes, in the final stretch of the season the group merengue sent an offer to the PSG to do with the services of the player, a year before it won his agreement. They began with the frivolous figure of 160 millions and the Parisians did case omiso. Florentino elevated it to €170m more 10 in variables and went back to close him the door. The offer would have reached the €200m, but for Nasser To the-Khelaïfi and company was not a viable option. They refused any option, although the player was forcing his exit. When it finish this summer, reposteó a history in Instagram in which a fellow wrote him "respect, my brother, by your professionalism. Reprograma Your dreams for later. The life is beautiful. You are the best".

The betrayal of Mbappé to the Madrid in 2022

It was a 'hit' for the Madrid, but had the feeling that a year afterwards yes went to do with his services. It finished his agreement with the PSG and had the possibility to leave like free agent for the 2022/2023. From 1 January of this year, took for granted that it went to land in Santiago Bernabéu... But the history gave the most unexpected twist possible. The surroundings of the player negotiated during several months with the 'merengues', but never gave the himself definite. 'It felt' that it could happen, but it was impossible to take it for granted.

The madridistas, in any case, trusted that Kylian went to fulfil his dream and recalaría in his team this year. Already it was the moment, but on 21 May the futblista communicated directly to Florentino Pérez that went to extend his stay in the PSG. What happened? As they confirmed diverse sources, in his moment, the madriñelos had arrived to an agreement with the player a week before with the payment of 130 million euros by premium of signings, yielding him the whole of his rights of images and with a very high wage, the best of the staff.

Everything was smart, but the big 'problem' was that never it arrived to close the door to the PSG and continued listening offers. They arrived the 'supposed' pressures from Qatar and the own republic of France because the World-wide of this year contested in the Half Orient and wanted to that it played it like Parisian footballer. Besides, they gave him can to take key decisions, like the election of the sportive director, trainer, signings... And the wage more elevate of the world of the football.

Of the renewal to the goodbye to the PSG

The renewal was by two years, until 2024, with a clause that allowed him renew by a season more if he wanted to it. During the past summer communicated to the leaders that did not go to execute it and that, therefore, went to go out this year like free agent. Him 'they condemned', they left him out of it turns it of pre-season and of the first party of Tie it 1... Until it signed the peace with To the-Khelaïfi, but without renewing. In February, before the dispute of the eighth of final of the Champions League, kept a meeting to confirm his wish. The rest is history.
