When will Kylian Mbappe be presented by Real Madrid? Journalist provides update
According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Kylian Mbappe will be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on July 16. The Paris Saint-Germain legend was recently announced as a new Los Blancos signing but is yet to be presented to the Santiago Bernabeu.
The France captain has long been linked with a move to Los Blancos, so the confirmation of the deal came as a surprise to no one. The official announcement came before Euro 2024 in Germany, so the PSG legend could not be unveiled to fans as is tradition.
The forward is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world and joins a star-studded Real Madrid cast that claimed the La Liga, UEFA Champions League and Supercopa Espana titles last season.
His arrival is expected to help the team to even more dominance, and Madridistas will be eagerly waiting to see him getting formally unveiled. Kylian Mbappe will hope to be unveiled as an European champion, with his highly fancied Les Bleus side one of the favourites to win Euro 2024.
