Back on June 3, Real Madrid officially announced that they had agreed a long-term contract with superstar forward Kylian Mbappe.
However, while the deal was official, the French attacker was still in contract with PSG until June 30.
Now, though, with his deal with the French champions expiring officially last night, Mbappe is, in all the sense, a Real Madrid footballer, having signed on a free transfer.
In fact, with his contract expiring at PSG, Real Madrid have updated their official squad list on the club’s website, with Mbappe being included in the ‘forwards’ section, although it has since been deleted.
But, with Mbappe’s contract at PSG being done and dusted, Le Parisien now reports that Real Madrid can start selling Kylian Mbappe shirts at the club.
While it is yet to be officially confirmed, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is expected to take the No. 9 shirt, left vacant since last year following the departure of his compatriot, Karim Benzema.
There is likely to be a huge demand for shirts with Mbappe’s name printed on them moving forward and fans can now get their hands on them.
Mbappe may now be a Real Madrid player completely but his official presentation is yet to take place. After all, the world-class attacker is currently away at the UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany, where he is representing France.
As such, it has been reported that Real Madrid have scheduled his presentation for July 16, a couple of days after the Euro 2024 final.
The plan is to make that event into a grand one, with the new Santiago Bernabeu expected to be overflowing with supporters to see their latest Galactico signing.
