Mbappe says he doesn't care what position he plays at Real.
“Kylian Mbappe addressed the media in the Santiago Bernabeu press room after being unveiled as a Real Madrid player,” Real Madrid reported on Saturday.
Mbappe has now signed a five-year contract with Real. Not only will he become the club's highest earner with an annual salary of £12.8 million, but he will also receive a hefty signing bonus of £86 million, payable in installments. “Real Madrid CF and Kylian Mbappe have agreed that he will be a member of Real Madrid for the next five seasons,” Real formalized.
Mbappe announced on social media, “A dream come true. I am so happy and proud to join my dream club, Real Madrid. No one can understand how excited I am right now. I can't wait to meet all the Madridistas and thank you for your unbelievable support. Hola Madrid!” he concluded on joining the club.
Mbappe, who was eliminated from Euro 2024 with France, was scheduled to make his debut in front of Madrid fans on Saturday. Tickets for the induction ceremony went on sale on Friday and quickly sold out. An estimated 80,000 Madrid supporters were in attendance to see Mbappe.
After completing his medical on Tuesday afternoon, Mbappe finally appeared in front of Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Mbappe greeted many of the fans and spoke 사설 토토사이트 briefly to them about his transfer.
After the ceremony, Mbappe came to Real's press room to answer questions from reporters. “I feel privileged to be able to say that I am a Real Madrid player,” Mbappe said. This has been a dream since I was a kid and I've waited a long time for this moment. Now that dream has come true. You can't buy a dream. It's very satisfying for me and my family. You know how much hard work I had to put in to get to this point, and now I just want to think about the present. I'm the happiest person and I'm looking forward to meeting the coach and my teammates and playing my first match.”
Mbappe's biggest issue was positional. Some fans reported that Mbappe didn't want to play as a frontline striker and that he and Vinicius would fight a lot for position. However, Mbappe refuted those reports in his press conference.
“I will play wherever the coach wants me to play,” Mbappe said. I can play in three positions. I did that in Paris, in the national team and in Monaco. The most important thing is my physical condition. I want to be on the pitch, but where I play is not a debate for me, it is not important for me.”
Mbappe will not participate in Real's tour of the United States. He will continue to rest and improve his fitness at the club.
