'An Incredible Day For Me'- Mbappe Unveiled As A Real Madrid Player
Kylian Mbappe has been unveiled as a new Real Madrid player after putting pen-to-paper on a five-year contract.
Mbappe was introduced to a crowd of more than 80,000 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday morning after completing his medical earlier in the day.
The 25-year-old will wear the number nine jersey at his new club.
He left Paris Saint Germain at the end of the 2023/2024 season when his contract at the Parc Des Princes expired.
Speaking to Mbappe before the Frenchman spoke to the crowd, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez said: “The love that you felt for Real Madrid, and you identifying with this club since your childhood, made it possible for you to be here and to overcome those obstacles on the way to your dream.”
Mbappe added: “I spent endless nights dreaming about one day playing for Real Madrid and today I am one happy guy."
"My family are so happy here, I can see my mum crying.
"It’s an incredible day for me, I’ve dreamt of this day since I was a kid and this day means a lot to me."
Mbappe initially joined PSG from AS Monaco in the summer of 2017 on loan before the move was made permanent the following year for £165m.
He left PSG as the club's all-time record goalscorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances.
Mbappe won the Ligue 1 title six times, the Coupe de France four times and the Coupe de la Ligue two times.
