With an estimated 85,000 spectators, Real Madrid unveiled new recruit Kylian Mbappe to the world in front of a full Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe was greeted warmly by President Florentino Perez, who informed him that he had now realized his dream. Mbappe reiterated this sentiment at his presentation.

Mbappe remained reticent when asked why he rejected Real Madrid two years prior, but now that the “past in the past” is behind him, the focus will be on how everything fits together at the Bernabeu. Where he will play has been one of the main concerns; Mbappe and Vinicius Junior both prefer a spot off the left side, not to mention Rodrygo Goes.

“I cаn plаy in аll three оf the tоp pоsitiоns, wherever the mаnаger wаnts me tо plаy, аnd I hаve dоne sо fоr Mоnаcо аnd Pаris Sаint-Germаin.” Being in gооd physicаl аnd mentаl heаlth is vitаl. It’s а detаil, nоt а cоntrоversy, where I plаy. When I sаw the cоаch this mоrning, we didn’t discuss my intended plаying lоcаtiоn.

He visited with manager Carlo Ancelotti on Tuesday morning, but they haven’t talked about it yet.

“I’ve only had jokes in our conversation, coach. Although you play with great players when you play for Madrid, I still want to play with all the players. I’m glad we got to meet.

In order to convince him to sign with Los Blancos, Mbappe also acknowledged that some of his teammates had communicated with him frequently.

“We were going to play together up front,” said the French, including Vini, who told me to go.

“Everyone says that playing here is a special experience. And I desired to have that experience.

The 25-year-old has played more centrally but has started to show signs of discomfort, especially when facing the goal. This season, Vinicius has also occasionally gone inside but hasn’t been seen much on the right. However, if Carlo Ancelotti has shown anything during his career, it is the ability to put stars in a starting lineup.
