Kylian Mbappé unveiling: Real Madrid move a dream come true

France’s superstar Kylian Mbappe admitted that Real Madrid’s unveiling was a dream come true moment for him. The Frenchman has signed a five-year contract with the club after leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

The talisman underwent a medical on Tuesday morning and said he dreamt of always playing for the Los Blancos.

“Wow. It’s incredible to be here,” Mbappé said in Spanish. “I dreamt for many years about playing for Real Madrid, and today that dream comes true.”

Interestingly, Mbappe was close to signing with Real Madrid in 2017 and 2022 but could not close out the deal. Mbappe gave his gratitude to the club’s president, Florentino Pérez.

“I want to thank the president [Florentino Pérez] first,” Mbappé said. “He believed in me from the first day. A lot of things happened, but I want to say thank you. I want to thank everyone who has worked for me to come here. I know it was hard but now I’m here, I’m a Real Madrid player.

“Since I was a kid I had one dream, to play here. Being here means a lot to me … Now I want to achieve another dream, being at the level of this club, the best in the world. I can say one thing: I’ll give everything for this club and this badge.”

Perez congratulated Mbappe for signing the deal and for fulfilling his childhood dream of joining the club.

“Congratulations for having achieved a dream,” Pérez said. “I know how excited your family is. You fell in love with Real Madrid as a boy. You were here in this stadium aged 13. I know you’ll never forget that day in December 2012, when Zidane invited you to Real Madrid City.

“Your love for Real Madrid, identifying with this badge, has given you the strength to overcome every obstacle to be here as a new Real Madrid player. Today you’re here because you wanted to be. Your will has overcome all adversity. Thank you for making an effort to wear this shirt.”
