Kylian Mbappe, a prominent French football player, was formally introduced as a member of Real Madrid on Tuesday during an event attended by 80,000 supporters “my dream has come true”.

The newly acquired striker, having successfully completed his medical examination earlier this morning, has officially signed a five-year employment contract with our organization. Furthermore, he has been presented with the number 9 jersey by our esteemed club president, Florentino Perez.

“Wow,” Mbappe said in Spanish to roars from a packed Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

“For years I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and today my dream has come true,” said the 25-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain player.

“I’m a happy boy. I’m going to give my life for this club,” said Mbappe.

Mbappe was visibly moved during the ceremony, as his parents observed from the audience and Zinedine Zidane, a renowned former French player associated with the club, was present. The crowd enthusiastically chanted his name, and at one moment, Mbappe displayed his affection by kissing the jersey of the reigning Spanish and European champions.

Mbappe is “an exceptional player who comes to help us continue winning, a player who today fulfils the dream of his life,” said Perez. “Welcome to your home.”

Exciting offensive trio

Despite the commencement of training for his new teammates on Monday, the aforementioned forward, who held the esteemed position of captain for the French national team during their recent, albeit unsuccessful, Euros campaign, will be granted a brief extension of his leave before officially initiating his season in the Spanish capital.

The Introduction of Real’s most recent prominent player enabled its supporters to extend their celebration following Spain’s victory in the Euro 2024 tournament on Sunday.

The attendance at the event Is anticipated to surpass that of 15 years ago when Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced.

The complimentary tickets were swiftly acquired, with certain individuals allegedly attempting to profit from the excitement surrounding the arrival of the arguably world-renowned striker.

Mbappe will join an offensive trio with England midfielder Jude Bellingham and Brazil attacker Vinicius Junior at Real under the guidance of veteran Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The potential of this prospect is already generating significant enthusiasm among the club’s supporters, who recently celebrated the club’s triumph in securing their 15th Champions League title in June.

Los Blancos will commence the defense of their La Liga championship with a match against Real Mallorca during the weekend of August 17-18.

The debut of Mbappe may need to be postponed until the subsequent week when Real Madrid encounters Real Valladolid, which was recently promoted from the second division.

Nine (9) Mbappe shirts were made available for purchase last Thursday at Real Madrid’s club stores, which are adorned with his likeness.


Mbappe arrives following a personally disappointing Euros campaign, where he was outshone by Spain’s new teenage sensation Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, Real Madrid’s archrivals, and France was defeated by Spain in the semi-finals.

Subsequent to a challenging season with Paris Saint-Germain following his choice not to extend his contract, the striker, who held the distinction of being the club’s all-time leading scorer, acknowledged experiencing a sense of liberation and relief upon his transfer to Real Madrid.

The club is seeking to mitigate the financial implications, which include a substantial annual salary requirement of at least 15 million euros ($16.3 million) and a significant signing bonus exceeding 100 million euros. The club intends to offset these costs by securing lucrative sponsorship agreements and generating revenue through ticket sales and merchandise..

Mbappe anticipates that this move will ultimately lead to the realization of two of his long-standing professional aspirations: winning the Champions League and receiving the Ballon d’Or.
