AS revealed that Real Madrid has prepared a grand debut ceremony for Mbappe, but that is unlikely to happen before La Liga 2024/25 starts.
In a recent interview, Kylian Mbappe revealed that he will announce the future before EURO 2024 starts. This player previously announced his departure from PSG, so next season the French striker will definitely play in a new shirt. Many people speculate that Real Madrid will be the next stop in the 25-year-old player’s career.
AS revealed that Real Madrid has prepared a grand debut ceremony for Mbappe
Spain’s AS newspaper even revealed that the Bernabeu team had planned an extremely grand debut for Mbappe. Accordingly, president Florentino Perez wants the French striker to take the field during the celebration of the team’s 36th La Liga championship.
However, the same source from AS said this is very unlikely to happen. First, Mbappe and Real Madrid have not officially confirmed it, so the story is still uncertain. Even when the 25-year-old striker joins the Bernabeu, it will be difficult for this player to introduce himself to the “White Vulture” audience before the new season starts.
First, let’s look at the match schedule. If nothing changes, Mbappe will play his last match for PSG on May 18. Real Madrid ended its journey in La Liga a week later, on May 25. In case Carlo Ancelotti and his team reach the Champions League final, Real Madrid still has to focus on competing for another week.
Remember, PSG can do the same thing. These two teams can absolutely meet at Wembley Stadium at dawn on June 2. At that time, Mbappe even had to face Real Madrid.
Second, if Real Madrid wants to have Mbappe in the victory celebration, they have to wait because this player’s contract does not expire until June 30. Therefore, Real Madrid can only sign a contract with the French striker from July 1. However, at that time EURO 2024 was taking place. The European Championship started on June 15 and ended 1 month later.
Not to mention that Mbappe also wants to contribute to France at the 2024 Olympics. This tournament takes place from July 26 to August 11. Meanwhile, La Liga 2024/25 will kick off on August 17. If the French Olympic team reaches the men’s soccer final, Mbappe will join Real Madrid even later.
Of course, the French striker can negotiate to debut for Real Madrid before the Paris Olympics begin. But few players do that. Therefore, to be sure, Real Madrid will probably only launch Mbappe (in case this player chooses the Bernabeu as his new stop) after the new season starts.
