Florentino Pérez hopes to be able to give Madridismo joy this weekend, although Mbappé's presentation will have to wait until after the national team stoppage That ends on September 9 because Mbappé has been summoned by Deschamps to play with France in the qualifying matches for Qatar 2022. Madrid's plan, except for last minute changes and assuming that the negotiation with PSG takes place, which has not yet happened, is to be able to present Mbappé at the Santiago Bernabéu next Friday, September 10. A day before the team's return to the monumental stadium after a year and a half of pandemic. The last time that Madrid played in the white coliseum was on March 1, 2020, in the victory (2-0) against Barcelona.
Although the signing of Mbappé was made official today, the intention of the club is to wait until the 10th for the presentation of the player. The reason: Madrid wants a presentation in style at the Bernabéu and today, with all the works, it would not be possible. Hence, the white club wants to wait until the eve of the match against Celta next Saturday, September 11. The selection break plays in favor of Madrid to have the entire operation prepared and to be able to see a galactic presentation as Cristiano Ronaldo's was once, with 90,000 spectators. This time, The restrictions set by the Community of Madrid currently only allow the white club to host 32,000 fans, corresponding to 40% of allowed capacity. Therefore, it will not be a presentation with the stadium overflowing, as I would like to expect, but it will be a big event.
If the transfer ends, Mbappé would land in Madrid before joining the concentration of the French team for the qualifying matches for the World Cup. The three qualifying matches will be against Bosnia-Herzegovina (September 1), Ukraine (September 4) and Finland (September 8). France is currently the leader of Group D and everything indicates that Kylian will achieve the goal of qualifying France to its 16th World Cup. Of course, in Madrid he will not be able to carry the 10 on his back as in the French National Team (that number belongs to Modric) nor the 7 that he wears in Paris. The idea of Madrid is that the Frenchman takes the 5, a number that Vallejo has but with which he has not yet debuted, so it could happen to the attacker. The club's nod to Mbappé is Zidane's 5. Only in the event that Vallejo makes a 'casus belli' of that issue, the club will consider an alternative, which also has available the 19 that Ronaldo wore in his day and the 23 that Beckham wore. As for the address, the Frenchman already has a house in Madrid and is very close to the one that Sergio Ramos premiered in La Moraleja days before signing for PSG.
