Kylian Mbappé was officially presented as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday in Madrid. The French striker, who passed his medical earlier that morning, signed a five-year contract and received the iconic No. 9 jersey from club president Florentino Perez.
“Wow,” Mbappé exclaimed in Spanish to the cheering crowd at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
“For years, I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid, and today my dream has come true,” said the 25-year-old, who previously played for Paris Saint-Germain. “I’m a happy boy. I’m going to give my life for this club.”
