Carlo Ancelotti, the Real Madrid manager, has revealed his first conversation with Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe was officially confirmed as their new player by the LaLiga giants last month.
The 25-year-old joins as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Ancelotti has now said he told the France captain two things.
“Two things: First, I gave him a warm welcome, because the reception from Real Madrid and the fans was exceptional,” he said.
“Second, I told him to rest, to go on vacation because it’s a very long season for players.”
