Real Madrid Unveils Kylian Mbappe as New Galactico
Real Madrid's long-awaited pursuit of Kylian Mbappe has finally come to fruition, with the French superstar set to officially join the club after the conclusion of UEFA Euro 2024. Mbappe's arrival marks a significant moment for Real Madrid, who have been eager to add the world-class forward to their ranks for years.
Mbappe's signing comes as a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expired. The Frenchman has been a prolific goalscorer for PSG, scoring 255 goals in seven seasons and helping the club win six Ligue 1 titles. However, despite his domestic success, Mbappe has yet to lift the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy.
Real Madrid's acquisition of Mbappe is a testament to their status as one of the biggest clubs in world football. The Spanish giants have a long history of signing top players, and Mbappe's arrival is seen as a major coup. The Frenchman has signed a five-year deal with Los Blancos and will be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday.
Mbappe's presentation ceremony is expected to be a grand affair, with around 80,000 supporters expected to attend at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will present Mbappe to the club's fans, and the event will be streamed live on Real Madrid's RM Play app.
Mbappe will receive the "Cristiano Ronaldo treatment" at Real Madrid, with the club's fitness coach Antonio Pintus tasked with helping him maintain his peak physical condition. Pintus is known for his grueling fitness sessions and is credited with helping Ronaldo extend his playing career into his late 30s.
Mbappe has been handed Ronaldo's iconic jersey number 9 at Real Madrid, a testament to the high expectations placed on him. The 25-year-old is expected to make his debut for Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup final against Europa League winners Atalanta. Carlo Ancelotti's men will then open their La Liga defense against Real Mallorca in August.
