Real Madrid fans will have to wait a little longer to see Kylian Mbappé in their famous white jersey. According to Spanish press reports, the French superstar’s official presentation will be held on Tuesday, July 16th, following the conclusion of the UEFA European Championship.
This timeline applies even if France’s national team, featuring Mbappé, is eliminated before the later stages of the tournament.
Mbappé’s participation in Real Madrid’s pre-season tour in the United States remains uncertain. Players reaching the Euro semifinals or finals will be granted additional rest, potentially excluding Mbappé from the tour entirely. However, if France exits earlier, he could join his new teammates in the U.S. and potentially make his debut against Barcelona in a pre-season friendly.
The presentation ceremony itself is expected to be a grand affair, held at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium with a large number of fans in attendance. Mbappé will also participate in his first press conference as a Real Madrid player, generating significant interest in his comments and future plans with the club.
