Real Madrid will present new star signing Kylian Mbappé at the Bernabéu on July 16, the club announced yesterday, adding that the France captain will wear the No. 9 shirt for Los Blancos.
Mbappé joined Madrid on a five-year deal this summer after his contract expired at Paris Saint-Germain, ending the LaLiga giants’ years-long pursuit of the player.
Madrid fans are expected to pack the 81,000 capacity Bernabéu for Mbappé’s unveiling, in what would be the club’s largest-scale player presentation since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
Mbappé’s France were eliminated by Spain in the Euro 2024 semifinals this week, after the forward suffered a broken nose in his first game of the tournament and scored just one goal in five appearances.
