On Tuesday, July 16, Kylian Mbappe, the captain of France, had his formal introduction at the Santiago Bernabeu and revealed his big aspirations for Real Madrid.
The 2018 World Cup winner eventually made the switch to the Spanish capital in 2024 after cutting his links with Paris Saint-Germain, capping years of rumors about a move to that city.
The 25-year-old cleared his medical exams early on Tuesday before going to the Bernabeu headquarters to sign a contract, as reported by beIN Sports.
Mbappe visited the trophy room with Madrid President Florentino Perez in tow before meeting the raucous supporters at the storied stadium. The legendary Los Blancos players Raul Gonzalez, Santiago Solari, and Zinedine Zidane graced the occasion.
During Kylian Mbappe’s first statement as a Madrid official, the former AS Monaco sensationalized his aspirations to do great things with the team.
