Having said his goodbyes to the Paris faithful, Kylian Mbappe is prepared to make the move to Madrid this June pending official confirmation.
Having said his goodbyes to the Paris faithful, Kylian Mbappe is prepared to make the move to Madrid this June pending official confirmation.
The World Cup winner will join Carlo Ancelotti’s project which already boasts the likes of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo Goes and Jude Bellingham amongst others.
While Mbappe’s move at this point is practically taken for granted, its official announcement is highly anticipated and Jose Felix Diaz (h/t Madrid Xtra) provides an update on the same.
As revealed by the Spanish journalist, members in the Real Madrid offices are already looking for dates to present Kylian Mbappe at the Nuevo Santiago Bernabeu as the latest Galactico.
The period that appeals to the administration as it stands is between the third and ninth of June, and a final decision has not been made yet. It will depend on Paris Saint-Germain’s permission as well, after all, as Mbappe’s contract in France runs until 30th June.
The reliable journalist also adds that he feels Mbappe will be presented at the Bernabeu before the start of the European Championships in Germany on 14th June.
Last month, it was relayed that Real Madrid planned to present Mbappe as a new player alongside the highly-anticipated Taylor Swift concert scheduled for May 30th.
The Merengues’ progression to the UEFA Champions League final, however, changes everything as the club do not wish for any distraction until the biggest game of the season is done with.
All signs thus point to a presentation in the first or second week of June as a standalone event, as it is now virtually impossible to couple it with the American singer-songwriter’s mega-event.
