Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid presentation is set to be dictated, in part, by Taylor Swift.

The PSG star will join Los Blancos in the summer on a free transfer when his contract at Parc des Princes expires, although the deal is not official yet.

Mbappe has told PSG that he intends to leave the club, and though head coach Luis Enrique hinted that there is yet hope that the 25-year-old will change his mind, the consensus is that the agreement with Real Madrid is in place.

All that is required now are the formalities. These include the France star’s announcement that he will leave the Ligue 1 champions and, of course, the grand presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu.

And this is where pop icon Taylor Swift comes in.

She is playing two sell-out concerts in Madrid that will take place at the Bernabeu, and according to Marca, Los Blancos are seeking to take advantage of infrastructure being put in place for those gigs to show off Mbappe to the fans.

Champions League final the only potential problem

The Madrid-based publication reports: “In the event that neither Real Madrid nor PSG play in the Champions League final, it is most likely that the announcement will occur on the weekend of May 18/19.

“Mbappe expressed clearly in a meeting with the Real Madrid leaders is that he wants to play at Euro 2024 with France free of the pressure that he is enduring every weekend in Paris, so the announcement will be made in the first week of June at the latest.”

According to this information, Los Blancos would be unable to take advantage of Taylor Swift’s infrastructure in case PSG reaches the Champions League final, which will take place at Wembley, London on 1 June – the weekend after her concerts in Madrid.

PSG tackle Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the competition, which starts next week, with a possible semi-final against Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund to follow.
