Mbappé cut short holiday to begin preseason with Real Madrid
France captain Kylian Mbappé and two of his teammates, Marc Cucurella and Ibrahima Konaté, have already passed their medical examinations and have resumed training under Jose Mourinho's orders.
That’s three more reinforcements for the coach, who is now only waiting for Jude Bellingham and Aurélien Tchouaméni to complete the squad.
The France forward has brought his vacation forward by two days. There is no time to lose. Now it is time to continue with the preseason plan laid out by Mourinho’s team, who already spoke this morning with the man who should once again be their main reference point in attack this year. Kylian played every minute at the World Cup, but he has had time off to recharge his batteries and has also worked out before his return, even at UD Ibiza’s facilities alongside his former PSG teammate Achraf.
There are two more new faces this morning at Valdebebas, which Madrid fans have high hopes for. Especially that of Cucurella. Madrid already have a World Cup champion with Spain in their ranks, and it's normal for him to establish himself as the left-back. A top-class signing for Mourinho without a doubt. For his part, Konaté wants to win back his place at Madrid in the heart of the defence after a difficult year at Liverpool and being a substitute at the World Cup under Deschamps. And he has more than enough footballing arguments to do so.
