Alongside PSG teammate Achraf Hakimi, Kylian Mbappe celebrates his world-record contract at the Cannes film festival

After agreeing to a new three-year contract worth £1.6 million per week with PSG, Mbappe surprised Real Madrid last week. Mbappe celebrated his new deal with a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory over Metz, capping off his career in the best possible way.

With the most goals and assists at the end of the season, the Frenchman led Ligue Un. It’s understandable, then, that photographers were itching to get a picture of him at Cannes, basking in the sun while sporting a blue overshirt and a wide-necked white T-shirt.

Since they traveled to Madrid earlier this month, the two seem to be rather close, which fueled rumors that the forward would be joining Los Blancos. However, he has made the decision to remain in Paris following months of rumors that he would change teams; at one time, he even had discussions about a move with Liverpool.

It is said that Mbappe had an agreement with Real Madrid before choosing to join with PSG rather than the Spanish powerhouses.
