Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid after the pre-season.
Mbappe met his fans for the first time in a Real uniform. Real hosted the Mbappe joining ceremony at Santiago Bernabeu, where 80,000 spectators gathered. Mbappe proved to be a prepared talent by sincerely conveying his feelings about coming to Real in fluent Spanish.
Mbappe moved to Real this summer on a free contract. He signed a five-year contract and reportedly received a huge amount of around 150 million euros (about 226.1 billion won) as a down payment alone. Mbappe, who has always been mentioned as a strong candidate for the next Ballon d’Or since winning the 2018 World Cup in Russia, has opened a new chapter in his career with Real, the most winning team in the UEFA Champions League.
“I have dreamed of playing for Real for many years. I am so happy that my dream has come true. I have another dream now,” Mbappe said at the joining ceremony. “I have another one. I will put everything into this club to inherit the history of the club.” The promising soccer players who visited the Santiago Bernabeu said, “One of you may be where I am next time,” encouraging them to have the next generation of soccer stars just as he did.
In the end, as Cristiano Ronaldo did at his joining ceremony 15 years ago, he shouted, “One, two, three, Allah Madrid!” (Uno, dos, Trees, Hala Madrid!) to achieve his dream. It was a perfect homage with the timing and movements of raising the arms.
Real fans may want to see Mbappe as soon as possible, but he will not be available in the U.S. tour. According to the sports media “The Athletic,” Mbappe told a press conference that he would be willing to go if the club wanted me, but he will not be included in the pre-season training squad in the U.S. Real Madrid will face AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea in turn in the U.S.토토사이트
Real decided that Mbappe would better rest and recover his physical strength because he played through Euro 2024. Mbappe plans to have his first training session with his new teammates at the Real Training Center on Aug. 7. Ferland Mendy, Orelien Chouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga, who participated in Euro 2024, will also return on the same day. His debut at Real is highly likely to be atalanta and the UEFA Super Cup, which will take place on Aug. 15 in Korean time.
