On June 3, Real Madrid announced a long-term contract agreement with superstar forward Kylian Mbappe. However, Mbappe was still contracted to PSG until June 30. With his PSG deal officially expiring last night, Mbappe is now a Real Madrid player, having signed on a free transfer.
Real Madrid updated their squad list on their website to include Mbappe in the ‘forwards’ section, although it has since been removed. Now, Le Parisien reports that Real Madrid can start selling Kylian Mbappe shirts.
While official confirmation is pending, Mbappe is expected to take the No. 9 shirt, vacant since Karim Benzema’s departure. Demand for Mbappe’s shirts is expected to be huge, and fans can soon get their hands on them.
Presentation on July 16
Mbappe’s official presentation is scheduled for July 16, after the UEFA Euro 2024 final. The event is set to be a grand affair at the new Santiago Bernabeu, with fans eager to see their latest Galactico significant.
