Mbappé’s Real Madrid Presentation Date Set
Mbappé’s Real Madrid Presentation Date Set
Kylian Mbappé, the new Real Madrid player, will make his first official appearance as a footballer for the club in his much-awaited and anticipated presentation. The French forward's move to the Spanish side was one of the summer transfer market's "blockbusters," especially considering he arrived for free from PSG.
According to initial reports, the date when Madridistas will first see Mbappé donning the white jersey will be on July 16, just two days after the end of the European Championship. "Kiki" will play in the summer tournament with France, where he will face Poland, the Netherlands, and Austria in Group D.
Real Madrid plans to present Mbappé at the newly renovated Santiago Bernabéu with all the corresponding protocols, making it comparable to the announcement of a young Cristiano Ronaldo. The chosen date was selected because it coincides with the end of international commitments, so if France hypothetically wins the final, the forward can present himself without difficulties.
Additionally, it is speculated that July 16 will also be the day when Real Madrid jerseys with Mbappé's name and number will go on sale. The French forward will wear the number 9, and his jersey will be available in official stores, both physical and online, after the official presentation.
Following the presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu, Kylian Mbappé is expected to join Real Madrid's training sessions, alongside all players returning from the Copa América and Euro 2024, to focus on preparing for his first official match: the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta.
