Mbappé’s promise fulfilled

My name is kylian (‘My name is Kylian’), the comic book biography of Mbappé, continues to reel off passages from his life in which the French player shows that the love for Real Madrid that he has professed since childhood. The Chiringuito de Jugones last night unveiled a new anecdote of how the gifts of the team were always present at the celebrations of little Kylian.

A family friend, “Uncle Alain”, presented him with the last present for his eighth birthday. “Oooh! A 3D model of the Real Madrid stadium,” Mbappé exclaimed as he unwrapped the gift and saw what it was about. Alain winked at another moment that Mbappé had starred in, when at Christmas he questioned the authenticity of a shirt that they gave him due to the absence of the cross on the shield. “I hope it’s not like the shirt you have … which is missing a cross,” he said. AND little Kylian answered him with determination: “We will check that the day I take you there”. Just six years later, Mbappé traveled with his family to Madrid to see the facilities of the white club, on a guided tour by Zidane himself and in which he had the opportunity to greet one of his idols, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The comic, narrated by Mbappé himself and with illustrations by Faro, was published on November 12 in France with an initial circulation of 300,000 copies. The book bears the KM Editions seal, a brand created by Mbappé himself to get involved in the publishing business.

These days the player faces the final stretch of the countdown before he is free to sign for any club. He ends his contract with PSG on June 30, 2022 and FIFA regulations allow him to negotiate his future from January 1. A date in which you can already commit to Real Madrid.
