Kylian Mbappe has arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu to undergo a medical ahead of his official presentation as a Real Madrid player. Mbappe is set to be presented at the famous stadium on July 16, 12 PM CST.
The France captain joins the club as a free agent upon the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Set to wear the number 9 shirt in his first season at Los Blancos, the attacker is one of the biggest signings in the club's recent history.
A photo of Mbappe meeting the club's representatives for his medical has circulated on social media. Check it out below:
Kylian Mbappe, a 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, arrives after a successful stint with PSG where he became the club's all-time highest goalscorer with 256 goals.
While Mbappe won seven Ligue 1 titles, among other domestic trophies, during his time with the French champions, he never got his hands on a UEFA club trophy. However, he could break the duck in his debut match for Real Madrid.
Los Merengues, the current European champions, will square off against Europa League champions Atalanta on August 14 for the UEFA Super Cup in their opening game of the season. Mbappe's potential debut could be the main talking point of that game.
Financial details of Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid transfer
While Kylian Mbappe arrives on a free transfer from PSG, he is set to cause a massive dent in Real Madrid's pocket. As per Sky Sports, the player will receive an £85 million signing bonus.
To add to that, Mbappe is set to receive a per-season after-tax salary of £12.8 million. Hence, it is set to be one of the most expensive deals of recent times.
That said, Mbappe assures quality, as he has shown for club and country throughout his career. Los Blancos already boast a successful squad full of superstars and the Frenchman's arrival will further strengthen the team.
