It’s now official, Kylian Mbappé has permanently joined the ranks of Real Madrid. The French prodigy was officially presented to the crowd of Madrid supporters at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday, in front of no less than 80,000 spectators.
Prodigy Mbappé trains with Real Madrid
The new Real Madrid striker, number 9 of the team, will soon join his teammates for his first training sessions in August.
Kylian Mbappé’s parents were present during his presentation and were impressed by this moment dedicated to the French star. In a statement to the newspaper Le Parisien, the mother of the captain of the French team, Fayza Lamari, expressed her admiration for Real Madrid and addressed a subtle dig at Paris Saint-Germain.
“Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world! Tuesday, I felt the difference, especially compared to PSG. The Parc des Princes is magnificent, but when you arrive at Real Madrid, you feel the grandeur of the institution”, she said. These comments will not fail to provoke reactions among Parisian supporters.
“He would never have left Paris”
Fayza Lamari, the mother of Kylian Mbappé, spoke at length in the columns of Le Parisien. She returned to her son’s departure for Real Madrid and is convinced that the young striker would never have left PSG if he had not been approached by Casa Blanca.
“Today, Kylian is in Madrid and we have to thank Monaco but also Paris. It was still PSG who trusted him at 18, who invested a considerable sum in him… He gave them back well, I think. Kylian never lied. He always told the president that one day he would move to Real. Of course, when it comes to fruition, it’s complicated. But without Madrid, he would never have left Paris,” she said.
