Kylian Mbappé, whose contract with PSG expired on June 30, 2024, has joined Real Madrid freely and without a transfer fee.
He was officially presented as the new number 9 for the club at a packed Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday noon. Despite overwhelming demand with 500,000 ticket requests, only 80,000 fortunate fans managed to attend the event.
The 25-year-old forward, who reached the Euro 2024 semi-finals with France, made a high-profile departure from Parc des Princes this summer to join Real Madrid.
Mbappé’s jerseys are selling like hotcakes as well. According to AS reports, Real Madrid received over half a million ticket requests for Mbappé’s presentation, but had to prioritize their socios due to the stadium’s capacity limitations. Additionally, Mbappé’s jerseys priced at €117 each have been flying off the shelves, causing extensive waiting lists and delays on the club’s official website.
