"I have already been to Madrid twice. I discovered the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, I met Carlo Ancelotti and I saw the faces of my future teammates. I spoke with (Eduardo) Camavinga and (Aurelien) Tchouaméni, who are fantastic. Telling myself that I will train with them soon is wonderful.
"I can't wait to live in Madrid, to experience a new culture, to eat ham."
