However if recent reports are to be believed then Zizou was ready to sell Gareth Bale in the summer of 2017 in order to sign Mbappe who was a young starlet at AS Monaco at the time. 

There is a lot of anticipation regarding Kylian Mbappe's debut with Real Madrid. Before joining Los Merengues, the Frenchman will take part in the Euros. Once his Euros duties are fulfilled he will be presented as the latest Galactico at the Santiago Bernabeu in a grand ceremony. He is expected to play his first game for Real Madrid against AC Milan in the pre season friendly and is expected to make his official debut in the UEFA Supercup against Atalanta in August.
