Real Madrid’s website has crashed following the announcement of Kylian Mbappe‘s long-awaited move to the Spanish giants
The French superstar was finally unveiled as the newest member of the now 15-time Champions League winners on Monday. The club confirmed his free transfer to the Bernabeu in a short communiqué.
The excitement of Madridistas and the wider footballing public has seemingly led to the club’s website going down.
Mbappe has long been courted by Madrid, though each turn has seen him ultimately stay at Paris Saint-Germain, signing several bumper contracts.
Last summer, however, he made it clear he would not be triggering a one-year extension, before announcing that he would be leaving at the end of the season on a free.
He has agreed to take a major pay cut after signing a five-year contract, with the 25-year-old due to receive 15m euros net (£12.8m) a season at Madrid, down from the 25m euros net (£21.4m) he earned in Paris.
Mbappe posted on Instagram on Monday evening just minutes after the move was confirmed, writing: ‘A dream come true.
‘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!’
