Kylian Mbappe has been gifted a car as part of Real Madrid’s sponsorship deal with BMW.
Kylian Mbappe must follow a strict car-related rule at Real Madrid following his sensational transfer this summer.
Mbappe joined Real this summer following the expiration of his Paris Saint-Germain deal.
He was presented to the Santiago Bernabeu faithful in an extravagant unveiling as he copied Cristiano Ronaldo.
While he moved to the Spanish giants on a free transfer, he will receive a signing-on bonus of just over £85 million which will be paid over instalments over the duration of his contract.
And he’s also bagged himself a BMW, who were confirmed as the club’s official car supplier back in 2022 after they ended its 20-year partnership with Audi, who have a deal with Bayern Munich.
As part of the sponsorship deal, Real and BMW will ‘jointly pursue initiatives in the domains of future mobility, sustainability and diversity’.
Part of the deal also sees players and coaches of the men’s and women’s football teams and the club’s basketball squad gifted BMW cars.
They will be able to choose from 100 per cent electric models in the BMW catalogue.
Every member of the men’s first-team squad, along with manager Carlo Ancelotti, picked up their electric vehicles as part of their initiative to make their journeys to training more environmentally friendly.
Mbappe has selected the BMW i7 M70 – Real president Florentino Perez also has the same one.

Los Blancos’ sponsorship with the car manufacturer is similar to Bayern’s long-term partnership with Audi – a rule Bellingham’s England teammate Harry Kane must now follow at the Bundesliga club.
BMW Spain and Portugal’s executive president, Manuel Terroba, said: “Real Madrid not only represents the world’s leading sporting institution, but also an organisation in constant evolution, striving for excellence in its activities based on demand, talent, quality and leadership.
“It also has a firm commitment to sustainability, solidarity, diversity and a winning spirit. This makes the club the perfect partner to address the challenges of the present and the future.”
