Kylian Mbappe Unveiled As Real Madrid Player
Kylian Mbappe was officially introduced as a Real Madrid player in Madrid on Tuesday.
The French striker, who completed his medical examination earlier that morning, signed a five-year deal and received the No. 9 jersey from club president Florentino Perez.
“Wow,” Mbappe exclaimed in Spanish to the thousands of fans gathered at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
“For years I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and today my dream has come true,” said the 25-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain player.
“I’m a happy boy. I’m going to give my life for this club,” he added.
Although his new teammates began training on Monday, the striker, who captained France during the Euros, will have a few more days off before kicking off his season in the Spanish capital.
