Kylian Mbappe just finished his Euro campaign, where he only managed to score one goal and one assist as Spain eliminated France in the semifinals.
The famous Santiago Bernabéu will host Kylian Mbappe’s official Galactico presentation on Tuesday of next week, Real Madrid said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Real Madrid C. F. is pleased to announce that Kylian Mbappé will be presented at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium on Tuesday 16 July at noon. President of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, will welcome Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid City for the formal signing of the contract that links our new player to the club for the next five seasons,” the statement read.
“Following the presentation, Kylian Mbappé will speak to the media in the press room at the Santiago Bernabéu,” it added.
The Spanish team had revealed last month that the highly awaited France captain will be joining soon. Mbappe, who announced his exit from Paris Saint-Germain in May, has signed a free transfer agreement with the La Liga champions, initially for five seasons, the club stated.
“A dream come true, So happy and proud to join the club of my dream, Real Madrid. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support,” Mbappe wrote on his social media, posting his childhood photos wearing a Real Madrid kit, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at the club.

Mbappe’s longstanding attachment to the team in the Spanish capital is well-known. Over the years, there have been connections between the club and the France World Cup champion.
Despite widespread rumours in 2022 that he would be moving to Spain, Mbappe ended up signing a contract extension with the Paris club until June 2024 when an even more elusive deal was made.
