Kylian Mbappe was unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu in front of 80,000 Real Madrid fans and their 15 Champions League medals.
Club of my dreams.
The French superstar smiled as he discussed joining the “club of his dreams.” This came after a performance by Andrea Bocelli, a long video of his best moments, and a speech from Florentino Perez, the club president.
Mbappe, who is 25 years old, will wear the number nine shirt after concluding his move from Paris Saint-Germain. This ends one of the longest transfer sagas in football history.
The Bernabeu played their famous “Hala Madrid” song as the forward was serenaded. He walked in front of screaming fans while booting footballs into the crowd. Like Cristiano Ronaldo did when he was introduced, he kissed the badge.
When he came out, his mother broke down in tears and told him how proud she was that he was joining the “biggest club in the history of world football.”
The people in my family are so happy, but I can see that my mom is sad. It’s a great day for me. I think of this day when I was a child.
He spoke Spanish, “Being here today means a lot to me,” but the crowd kept cheering and cutting him off.
I have another dream:
I promise to live up to this club’s history and Madrid fans’ demands. I promise to do everything I can for the club and you.
Additionally, I’d like to write a letter to all the kids here today. You and I used to be the same. You can make your dreams come true if you want to.
“I’m thrilled and moved to tears. Going on and on about how important it is for me to be here today shows that. I’ve always dreamed of playing for this club, the biggest in sports history.
After three counts, he told the fans to yell, “Hala Madrid!”
After seven years in the French capital, Mbappe was a considerable success, winning seven Ligue 1 titles. However, he has never been able to win the Champions League.
After signing a five-year deal, he agreed to take a significant pay cut. At Madrid, he will make £12.8 million net a season, compared to £21.4 million net in Paris.
Even though he won’t get paid as much, Mbappe will get a hefty signing-on fee, which is thought to be over £85.6m. After joining Real Madrid, he will also get to keep 80% of the image rights for any new marketing deals he makes. The club’s typically new players split the money 50/50, but this is different.
