The La Liga powerhouses Real Madrid presented Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday, but he is now anticipated to take a break after a hectic UEFA Euro 2024 campaign.  Everyone is wondering these days whether he will be available to travel to the US for their pre-season tour.

Tuesday, July 16, saw Kylian Mbappé's being presented at the Santiago Bernabeu as a Real Madrid player. The French sensation was welcomed to the La Liga powerhouses by 85,000 spectators at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

The focus now shifts to when the former Paris Saint-Germain attacker will don the renowned white shirt on the field alongside his teammates. A few hours after Argentina's Copa América 2024 victory over Colombia and Spain's victory against England during the Euro 2024 final, Los Blancos' preseason for the 2024–25 campaign got underway on Monday, July 15. However, manager Carlo Ancelotti will operate with a drastically diminished roster for a few weeks, as one might anticipate.

The two main international tournament players won't be coming back for preseason play until shortly before Madrid leaves for their USA tour. Luka Modric, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo are among the players who belong in the travelling group. These senior players’ campaigns got over earlier than expected and would be now travelling with the team for the pre-season tour.

When will Kylian Mbappe make his debut for Real Madrid?

During the presentation yesterday, Mbappe was questioned by the media reporters on when he would start for the club. The former PSG superstar replied confidently as he said, “I really don’t know, it doesn’t depend on me so much but we’ll talk to the club and the head coach and then make a decision.”

Despite what he said, there is no indication that Real Madrid will try to start using their new player sooner than anticipated. Due to this, the 25-year-old's UEFA Super Cup debut is probably going to happen on Wednesday, August 14 in Warsaw, Poland versus Atalanta.
