Real Madrid have prepared a lavish presentation to welcome the team captain FranceThe Madrid club promises between 80,000 and 85,000 spectators in the stadium, as well as a grandiose sound and light show. Never seen before.

Real Madrid also took out the checkbook to attract the French player. He was certainly transferred for zero euros but the signing bonus is estimated at around 115 million euros. According to the local press, his salary is not left out either and would amount to 15 million euros net annually.

A highly anticipated arrival

The player had been desired for a long time. About ten years ago, a photo of Mbappé with one of his idols, Cristiano Ronaldo, had left its mark. From that moment on, the arrival of the captain of the Blues became a dream for the club with fifteen Champions Leagues.

Since it went on sale last week, the Frenchman’s jersey has been selling without any difficulty. It is beyond the expectations of the club and Real Madrid’s equipment supplier. Kylian Mbappé is present everywhere in the club’s various stores. One of them, located in the city center of Madrid, only offers this jersey. It costs between 135 and 185 euros.

The 2022 U-turnwhen the French international prefers to extend at Paris Saint-Germain for two or even three years, is therefore forgotten. On site, some supporters explain that Real Madrid does not need Mbappé but others are very happy with his arrival and expect a successful season.

A busy first day

Kylian Mbappé must first of all respect the protocol and the signing of his contract in front of the cameras. But his day does not end there. He will meet his new teammates since the club has resumed training.

Before that, he must undergo a medical examination. Usually, this visit is more of a formality but this time it takes on an important aspect because it will have to decide on a potential operation on the player’s nose. The Frenchman has indeed broke his nose during the Euro and an operation could keep him off the field for several weeks.

Kylian Mbappé has planned to move to the upscale Finca neighborhood in the western suburbs of Madrid. A 1,100 square meter house, which he paid 11 million euros for. Mbappé’s life at the club of his dreams can now begin.
