This announcement has heightened excitement among fans eager to see Mbappe don the famous white jersey.
Following the Super Cup, Real Madrid will kick off their La Liga title defense on August 18 with an away match against Mallorca. The club's preseason and early competitive fixtures will provide a crucial opportunity for the team to integrate new signings and set the tone for the season ahead.
