Real Madrid Set to Unveil Kylian Mbappé in Grand Style
Real Madrid is gearing up to present its latest star signing, Kylian Mbappé, at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium on July 16, the club announced on Wednesday.
The french captain highly anticipated move to Madrid materialized this summer, following the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
The upcoming presentation is expected to draw a massive crowd, with Madrid fans set to pack the 81,000-capacity Bernabéu, reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo‘s grand unveiling in 2009.
This event promises to be one of the most significant player presentations in the club’s history.
Mbappé’s arrival comes on the heels of France’s exit from Euro 2024, where he suffered a broken nose and scored a single goal in five appearances.

Despite this setback, the 24-year-old superstar is poised to make a lasting impact at Real Madrid, and fans are eagerly awaiting his official debut.
Mbappé said afterwards.
“It was a failure. We had the ambition to be European champions…We aren’t that, so it’s a failure.”
“We have to move on. It’s been a long year. I’m going to go on holiday and get some rest — that’ll do me a lot of good, and I’ll try and come back strongly.”
Madrid have not yet confirmed if Mbappé will join them on their pre-season tour of the United States,
which begins later this month against AC Milan at Soldier Field on July 31, before playing Barcelona at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 3, and Chelsea at Bank of America Stadium on Aug. 6.
The LaLiga champions will then play Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup in Warsaw on Aug. 14, before beginning their defence of the league title away at Mallorca on Aug. 18.
Madrid announced the signing of Mbappé on June 3, bringing an end to one of football’s longest-running transfer sagas.
