Report: Real Madrid plan superlative Mbappé presentation

Kylian Mbappé's presentation at Real Madrid is set to be a big show event featuring fireworks, live music and a stage catwalk similar to that at a Taylor Swift concert, sports daily AS reported on Thursday.

AS said that the presentation at Bernabeu stadium will take place on July 16, even if Mbappé and his French team are eliminated from Euro 2024 before the July 14 final. France play Portugal in the semi-finals on Friday.

"It will be the most impressive presentation ever made for a footballer," AS quoted Real officials as saying.

The report said that 80,000 fans are expected to attend the presentation, wearing the number 9 shirt the forward is to have during his first season, as the number 10 he has for France and PSG is currently with Luka Modric.

The presentation with the music and fireworks will surpass that of Cristiano Ronaldo from 2009 during Real's second Galacticos era.

Mbappé, 25, arrives at LaLiga and Champions League winners Real on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain and reportedly receives a huge signing on fee. He fulfilled a childhood dream by signing a five-year contract.
