This coming July 16, Real Madrid will officially announce the contract with Kylian Mbappe after completing the recruitment of this striker from PSG.

Kylian Mbappe officially joined Real Madrid in early June. The Spanish team recruited the French striker on a free transfer from PSG. However, Real Madrid has not officially introduced Mbappe.

That time was close to the French national team’s training session before EURO 2024. Los Blancos also wanted Mbappe to be able to focus on the French national team, so the team postponed the debut ceremony for the 1998-born player until after EURO 2024.

Kylian Mbappe to debut for Real Madrid in a week

Specifically, on July 16 – one day after the EURO final – Mbappe will officially debut for his new team Real Madrid. It is expected that this team will hold a grand announcement ceremony at the Bernabeu Stadium to welcome the blockbuster contract.

” Real Madrid CF is delighted to announce that Kylian Mbappé will be presented at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Tuesday 16 July at noon. Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez will welcome Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid City to officially sign a five-year contract.

After the presentation ceremony, Kylian Mbappé will answer the media in the press room at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium ” – Real Madrid’s homepage announced.

Mbappe’s shirt number at Real Madrid will be number 9. In the past, this striker has never worn this number when playing professionally. The number 9 at Real Madrid has been vacant since Karim Benzema left Los Blancos last year.

At PSG, Mbappe wore the number 7 shirt, but that number now belongs to Vinicius. Mbappe’s number 10 shirt for the French national team is currently owned by Luka Modric. Mbappe chose the vacant number 9 shirt because he did not want to compete with his teammates for a shirt number.
