Kylian Mbappe's imminent arrival at Real Madrid has been confirmed by the club, with the French star set to be officially presented at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium next Tuesday. This announcement follows France's Euro 2024 semifinal exit at the hands of Spain, where Mbappe, despite a challenging tournament marked by a broken nose and missed opportunities, will don the number 9 shirt for his new club.
Scheduled for midday (11:00 WAT) on Tuesday, Mbappe's presentation will include the signing of a five-year contract in the presence of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. The 23-year-old forward, having concluded his tenure with Paris Saint-Germain, will embark on his next chapter in La Liga, with his competitive debut anticipated during Real Madrid's season opener against Real Mallorca on August 17/18. A week later, he will experience his first home match at the Bernabeu against Real Valladolid.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid comes as a free agent, reportedly securing a base salary of 15 million euros ($16.2 million) per year, augmented by substantial bonuses linked to his transfer to the Spanish capital. This transfer marks a significant milestone for both the player and the club as they prepare for the challenges ahead in the upcoming season.
