KYLIAN MBAPPE wasted no time adapting to life at Real Madrid, moving into Gareth Bale’s old apartment.
The stunning £9 million mansion is situated in the exclusive town of La Finca.
And it’s just 13 kilometers north of Madrid city center, making it an ideal base for Real’s new man.
Mbappe joined the Spanish and continental champions on a stunning free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this month.
The striker is considered one of the best players in world football, after scoring 256 goals in just 308 matches in the French capital.
And Real will hope Mbappe can lead them to more glory after completing a brilliant league and European double under Carlo Ancelotti.
But if he enjoys the success of the man who has already occupied his new home, Mbappé will probably become a legend at the Bernabéu.
The ace now lives in Bale’s former mansion after purchasing it for £9million.
The luxurious apartment offers numerous perks, including eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and a garage big enough for six cars.
In addition, it has a huge swimming pool and cinema room.

While he was away, Bale made sure to install a football pitch, a basketball court and a golf course.
Mbappé will also be well protected, with the property featuring the latest security measures, including facial recognition technology, a double perimeter gate with cameras and an alarm system directly linked to the police.
World Cup winner Mbappe will also have 24-hour security guards around.
And he certainly hopes that his new home will be the perfect base to make his career at Real Madrid a great success.
The house was sold by luxury real estate agency Realizza, which serves several VIP clients.
Their website said about the property: “It is a new way of life for all those who seek above all exclusivity, tranquility, confidentiality and above all security.
“This concept is the key to satisfying the needs of such illustrious clients as politicians, bullfighters, artists, football players, large businesspeople and families of great social importance who seek discretion and independence.”
Before Mbappe, Bale paid £6.5 million for the mansion when he moved from Tottenham to Madrid in 2013.
The five-time Champions League winner with Real has put him on the market in 2022 after leaving for a new start in America with LAFC.
And before Bale, the house was rented by Brazilian icon Kaká for several years.

KYLIAN MBAPPE entered his physical prime when he FINALLY sealed his free transfer to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old went from boy to man in Ligue 1, first with Monaco and then with his current Paris Saint-Germain team.
Mbappe debuted for Monaco as a skinny 16-year-old in 2015.
He even appeared as a scrawny youngster against Tottenham at the old White Hart Lane that year, before fans realized what an icon he would become.
The following season, Mbappe truly achieved stardom as Monaco reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
In a throwback shared earlier this week, 18-year-old Mbappe can be seen speaking to a reporter after scoring two Champions League goals against Borussia Dortmund in April 2017.
