Kylian Mbappe will have to follow a strict Cristiano Ronaldo plan ahead of his move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe agreed a deal to join Los Blancos at the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, bringing an end to one of the longest running transfer sagas in memory.
The France skipper’s official presentation is scheduled for Tuesday at the Saintiago Bernabeu. Mbappe is set to officially sign his contract at Real Madrid's training ground, Valdebebas, while club president Florentino Perez will formally introduce the attacker at Real Madrid City.
Mbappe will subsequently be driven to the Bernabeu where a presentation in front of the fans will take place. It is set to feature Los Blancos legends including Zinedine Zidane while there will also be live musicians and fireworks.

The Frenchman, who is PSG's record goalscorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances, has put pen to paper on a five-year contract worth €15million (£12.8million) a year after tax.
Mbappe is arguably Real’s biggest signing since Ronaldo’s arrival back in 2009. And according to Spanish outlet Diario AS, the club are already preparing to mold the 25-year-old in the Portugal icon’s image.
The Spanish outlet claimed that the club's fitness guru, Antonio Pintus, has already prepared a Ronaldo-esque fitness plan for the incoming star.
Ronaldo is known for his supreme physical condition, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner still performing at a respectable standard at 39-years-old.
On signing for Real, Mbappe said last month: "A dream come true. So happy and proud to join the club of my dreams, Real Madrid.
"Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can't wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support. Hala Madrid!"
Endrick is also set to sign for Madrid this summer, joining the club’s star-studded forward line of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick, Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
