Kylian Mbappe is Real Madrid’s latest Galactico and he reportedly received the Cristiano Ronaldo treatment upon his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 2018 World Cup winner with Les Bleus is finally heading to the Spanish capital after several years of speculation. Los Blancos secured their man as a free agent, after presenting tempting transfer offers. Mbappe cut ties with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract.
Mbappe, who has struggled to perform at his best for France at Euro 2024, is not as sharp as he could be after seeing Luis Enrique limit his playing time towards the end of a record-breaking spell with PSG. He also suffered a broken nose at the Euros.
Mbappé treated like Cr7
Real Madrid want to ensure their superstar is fit for 2024-25, meaning he will be subjected to a similar training regime to Ronaldo. AS reports that the 25-year-old will work with Antonio Pintus, who helped CR7 achieve the fitness that allows him to continue playing at 39.
Pintus, who has earned the nickname ‘Sergeant’, is famous for his gruelling fitness sessions and will work with Mbappe during pre-season, ensuring the Frenchman is ready to defend the La Liga and Champions League titles in his debut campaign.
