Mbappé declares his 'immense pleasure' at joining Real Madrid after unhappy end to PSG career

Kylian Mbappé spoke Tuesday of his “immense pleasure” at finally joining Real Madrid and felt his time at Paris Saint-Germain came to a sad end.

Madrid has reached a widely expected deal with the France star, bringing together a prolific scorer and a record 15-time Champions League winner.

“Finally, it's official, I am going to be a Real Madrid player for the next five years. It's an immense pleasure, a dream coming true, a lot of emotions," Mbappé said at France's training camp, on the eve of a friendly match against Luxembourg in Metz. “I’m very, very happy (and) relieved, very proud to be joining a club where I’ve always dreamed of being.”

Mbappé's seven years at PSG came to a somewhat difficult end, and his final season started and ended amid tensions.
