Mbappe has prepared almost everything to debut for Real Madrid after EURO.
Kylian Mbappe will continue to be the central figure of the French national team in the upcoming EURO campaign. Even though he is preparing to move to Real Madrid, the 25-year-old striker is eager to return to the arena where three years ago he had to stop with “Les Bleus” after Mbappe himself missed a shot in the penalty shootout against Switzerland. .

But not only EURO, Mbappe also wants to play for the French Olympic team at the Paris Olympics. The men’s soccer event of the Olympics takes place 10 days after EURO ends and if you also attend this tournament, you will have a busy and exhausting summer. Real Madrid therefore decided not to let Mbappe attend the Olympics.
Recently, when Real Madrid president Florentino Perez came to Paris to celebrate the organization’s 120th anniversary, French President Emmanuel Macron personally came to meet Perez to convince Mbappe to attend the Olympics. However, that is not enough, the “Godfather” of the Bernabeu has been decisive with his intentions and Mbappe is expected to join forces with Real Madrid at the end of July.
It was only a matter of time before Mbappe debuted for Real Madrid and the new La Liga champions announced the joining of the French superstar. Recently, the Madrid press reported that Mbappe had bought a large villa for more than 18 million euros in a luxurious area in the Spanish capital, where it is said to have the private homes of many famous people including Richard Gere, the actor. American cinematographer who starred alongside Julia Roberts in the 1990 film “Pretty Woman.”
Speaking of America, Real Madrid will travel to the United States for a summer tour and Mbappe is certainly in this plan of the Royal team. Such tours always bring huge financial benefits to clubs and Real Madrid does not want to miss the opportunity to introduce Mbappe to the American audience, the first superstar they have brought in since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. .
Mbappe is having a valuable break before starting his EURO journey
The French national team will gather at the beginning of next week, except for the players participating in the Coupe de France and Champions League finals who will join later. They have two friendly matches against Luxembourg and Canada at home before going to Germany to play the EURO opening match against Austria on June 17.
Mbappe will almost certainly not play in the Coupe de France final against Lyon on the evening of May 25. Mbappe has missed PSG’s last 2 matches to avoid injury and prepare for EURO, so he will appear at the national team’s headquarters early next week. Mbappe’s replacement, Bradley Barcola, is also expected to be Mbappe’s backup in the French national team in the context of Kingsley Coman’s recurring injury.
