Recent reports have unveiled that French superstar Kylian Mbappé is set to make his debut appearance in a Real Madrid jersey during the upcoming period, following his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the current season.

Real Madrid will conclude its summer camp with a match against Chelsea on August 6 in Charlotte, wrapping up the preparations just before the new season of La Liga kicks off.
