Paris Saint-Germain signed Mbappé from Monaco on the 31st of August 2017 on loan with a mandatory purchase option of €180 million. The fee made him the most expensive teenager ever and the second-most-expensive player in history at the time, behind his new teammate Neymar.
Mbappé scored a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina on the 18th of December 2022, becoming only the second player in history to do so. He won the Golden Boot with eight goals and became the all-time top scorer in World Cup final matches with four goals across the 2018 and 2022 finals.
Mbappé allowed his PSG contract to expire in June 2024 rather than renewing it. On the 3rd of June 2024, Real Madrid announced he had signed a five-year contract with the club on a free transfer. Mbappé described it as "a dream come true," having supported Real Madrid as a child.

Mbappé's trademark celebration involves crossing his arms over his chest with his hands tucked under his armpits. It was inspired by his younger brother Ethan, who used the same pose when celebrating victories against Kylian in FIFA video games.
