Kylian Mbappe was officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
The French striker, who completed his medical earlier that morning, signed a five-year contract and received the No. 9 shirt from club president Florentino Perez.
In a statement to thousands of fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Mbappe expressed his joy and commitment to the club. “For years I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and today my dream has come true,” said the 25-year-old. “I’m a happy boy. I’m going to give my life for this club.”
Although his new teammates began training on Monday, Mbappe, who captained France during the Euros, will have a few more days off before starting his season in the Spanish capital.
