According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, as of today, Mbappe has officially become the
Real Madrid soccer team
Player. Despite being able to start selling his jersey, the club decided not to do so for the time being, instead waiting until July 16 when Mbappe is officially unveiled and his number is finalized.
Mbappe's contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends in the early hours of July 1, making him a free agent. This means he will be making his debut as a Real Madrid player, with the match against France and Belgium between them.
Despite Real Madrid being able to start selling Mbappe's shirt, the club and Adidas have yet to give a concrete explanation. The Bernabeu's official store has confirmed that Mbappe's shirt is temporarily unavailable for purchase.
The decision shows how much Real Madrid FC expects and respects Mbappe, and also reflects their strategy of wanting to go through an official unveiling before launching the jersey for sale.
