Plans Spoiled? Why Real Madrid Might Not Present PSG Superstar as Newest Player Before Euros

Originally posted on PSG Talk | Last updated 5/24/24

In a matter of weeks, Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé will join Real Madrid, but the question remains: when does the club intend to present the player at the Santiago Bernabéu?

A recent report revealed that the Spanish giants are eyeing a window between June 3 and 9, pending approval from PSG, to present the 25-year-old as their newest player. However, France national team manager Didier Deschamps is blocking such an announcement.

Diario AS reports that Real Madrid wants to present Mbappé at the Santiago Bernabéu after the Champions League final, but Deschamps is refusing to release the player since the timing is tight and he will already be with the French team to prepare for UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany.

This reported decision from Deschamps likely means that the player would be presented as a Real Madrid player until after France’s run in the Euros ends. Unless Les Bleus crashes out early, the soon-to-be former PSG star won’t officially be a member of Los Blancos until July well past when his contract with the Parisians expires.
