Mbappe selects the Number 9 shirt for Real Madrid, preparing for a special debut.

Kylian Mbappe was announced to wear the number 9 shirt at Real Madrid. He plans to make his debut at the Bernabeu before the start of EURO 2024.

The fact that Mbappe left PSG to join Real Madrid this summer on a free transfer is now considered… obvious.

Sources from France said that PSG also fully accepted this. Head coach Luis Enrique in recent matches in Ligue 1 has left Mbappe on the bench, stating bluntly that PSG is preparing for life without this striker.

Between Mbappe and Real Madrid, it is said that they are going to the final steps to complete the signing of a 5-year contract, with the highest salary in the Bernabeu but still much lower than that at PSG.

AS newspaper added, Kylian Mbappe is scheduled to debut before the EURO 2024 finals kick off (June 14-July 14) in Germany.

The reason is that Mbappe wants to attend the EURO 2024 finals as well as the Olympic Games in Paris for France with his future already decided, instead of having the trouble of constantly being asked or rumored during these tournaments.

Sources say that because Mbappe will be Real Madrid’s biggest signing of the decade, the club is planning a grand, different launch ceremony. However, the specific time depends on whether Real Madrid or PSG will appear in the Champions League final (June 1) this season or not.

If both do not advance to the final match, Mbappe’s Real Madrid debut could take place at the same time. If one of the two makes it to the final of the C1 Cup, the French striker’s introduction to Real Madrid will be a few days later.
