New Real Madrid Signing Kylian Mbappé: Dream Fulfilled
Kylian Mbappé fulfills his dream as he joins Real Madrid, reflecting on his journey from childhood dreams to present success.
During his presentation on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé expressed immense joy as he fulfilled a childhood dream by joining the European champions, Real Madrid. Images surfaced of a 13-year-old Mbappé alongside Zinédine Zidane at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground, marking a poignant moment in his journey.
Despite initially choosing AS Monaco and later Paris Saint-Germain over Real Madrid, Mbappé's path has now led him to the Spanish capital. This summer, as a free agent, he departed PSG after two years of rejecting earlier offers from Real Madrid to remain in Paris. Opting not to renew his contract with PSG, Mbappé embraced the opportunity to sign with Real Madrid, where he will don the iconic No. 9 jersey.
Due to his commitments in the European Championship this summer, Mbappé's official presentation was delayed. However, the delay did not dampen the enthusiasm of 80,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabéu, who eagerly welcomed the French superstar.
"It is incredible to be here," Mbappé said emotionally. "I have dreamed of playing for Real Madrid for years. My dream is fulfilled today. I am a particularly happy young man."
Mbappé was formally introduced to the Real Madrid faithful by club president Florentino Pérez, whom he thanked profusely during his speech.
"I want to thank Florentino Pérez, who warmly welcomed me from day one," Mbappé stated. "There have been many twists and turns, but here I am. I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly to make this happen. We did it – I am a Real Madrid player."
Mbappé will now follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Karim Benzema, taking over the prestigious No. 9 jersey at Real Madrid.
