Kylian Mbappé to be given ‘Cristiano Ronaldo style’ coverage in Madrid | OneFootball

An insight into the kind of coverage set to be afforded to new Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappé by the press in Spain has on Friday been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Relevo, and points towards something of a frenzy as being on the cards in Madrid.

Mbappé, of course, has now officially linked up with his new teammates in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, ahead of playing a central role for the European champions this coming season.

Whilst his endeavours on the pitch will undoubtedly be heavily scrutinised, though, so too, it would appear, will be his activity away from it.

As per Relevo:

‘The press is preparing for coverage in the purest Cristiano Ronaldo style. They want to know everything about Mbappé.’

So, what exactly does this entail?

The Spanish media are expected to follow Mbappé, more or less, wherever he goes, in a bid to keep track of all of the finer details of the 25-year-old’s life.

A paparazzi presence will be close to constant, to keep an eye on everything from Mbappé’s choice of activities and restaurants, to his family and friends, too.

The campaign ahead will no doubt be one to remember on the white half of the Madrid divide, and Real’s latest Galáctico signing will be a central reason as to why.
