Real Madrid have formally announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe and it didn’t take long for the Frenchman’s new team-mates to welcome him on social media.

Mbappe has joined Real Madrid as a free agent on a five-year contract, the LaLiga club confirmed on Monday.

The Los Blancos team is already full of big stars but none as big as the French World Cup winner.

ome fans have suggested that his arrival may not come as the best news to certain members of the squad but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Rodrygo immediately responded to the announcement by sharing a series of ‘in love’ emojis.
