Mbappe Makes Madrid Move: The World’s Best Striker Arrives at the Bernabeu
The celebrations from Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph are still echoing through the streets, but Real Madrid fans have even more reason to be excited. French superstar Kylian Mbappe is set to make his debut at the Santiago Bernabeu, and it’s expected to be a record-breaking event.
Mbappe will officially join the Galacticos on Tuesday, and fans are going wild to get a glimpse of the world’s best striker. The tickets, which are free, were snapped up quickly, with some fans reportedly trying to resell them to cash in on the hype. The stadium is expected to be packed to the rafters, with an attendance of 85,000, potentially beating the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo 15 years ago.
Before taking the field, Mbappe will sign his five-season contract with Real president Florentino Perez and then greet fans before holding a press conference. The striker, who captained France during the Euros, will have a few more days off before kicking off his season in the Spanish capital.
Mbappe’s arrival has been a long time coming, and he’s spoken about his admiration for Los Blancos and Ronaldo. He’ll don the number 9 shirt, which is now on sale in Real’s shops, featuring his image prominently.
The 25-year-old will form part of a new attacking trio alongside England midfielder Jude Bellingham and Brazil attacker Vinicius Junior under the watchful eye of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti. Mbappe’s arrival has sent shivers down the spines of Real fans, who are eager to see the superstar in action.
The club is hoping to offset the costs of Mbappe’s massive contract, reportedly worth €15 million per season and a signing bonus of over €100 million, through sponsorship deals, ticket and merchandise sales, and other revenue streams.
For Mbappe, this move is a chance to achieve his lifelong goals, including winning the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or. He’s said to be feeling "liberated, relieved" by his transfer to Real and is excited to start this new chapter in his career.
