Today marks a historic moment as Kylian Mbappé is officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player.
Mbappé, who will wear the number 9 jersey, left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract to fulfill his long-awaited move to Los Blancos.
The anticipation surrounding his presentation is immense, with over 100,000 tickets sold for the event.
However, the excitement has also led to controversy.
One fan lamented on Twitter: “Tickets for the Mbappé presentation are on sale and within a few hours, members (who won’t even go) have almost sold out and are putting them up for resale at exorbitant prices. Going to the Bernabéu for normal people isn’t a luxury, it’s simply not possible.” Another fan criticized, “It’s a shame to have members who behave like this. The club has to find and expel those who have put the tickets up for sale.”
The French superstar is expected to hold a press conference at the Santiago Bernabéu but will not join the team for training today.
Following France’s elimination in the Euro semifinals just a week ago, Mbappé will enjoy a few weeks off before beginning his preseason training.
He is likely to visit Valdebebas, where he could meet coach Carlo Ancelotti and some of his new teammates.
Mbappé’s signing is the most significant for Real Madrid in recent years, promising an unforgettable event.
Speculation is already rife that Mbappé may request the number 10 jersey once Luka Modric leaves the club, indicating his long-term plans and ambitions with Real Madrid.
