Following his exit from Euro 2024, Mbappe is now preparing to join up with his new team-mates.
However, Real Madrid are looking to transform the 25-year-old’s physique ahead of the new season.
According to AS, Los Blancos have tasked fitness coach Antonio Pintus with the task.
Pintus has been asked to get Mbappe into peak condition for the Uefa Super Cup against Atalanta next month.
He will have the chance to win his first trophy with the club at the National Stadium in Warsaw on August 14.
The report adds that Pintus, who has been dubbed the “Sergeant” for his toughness during sessions, has a Ronaldo-style project in mind.
Ronaldo transformed into a physical specimen during his nine years in Spain, winning 16 major trophies and scoring 450 goals.
He remains in peak condition aged 39 five years after leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.

KYLIAN MBAPPE has entered his physical prime as he has FINALLY rubber-stamped his free transfer move to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old has grown from a boy to a man in Ligue 1, first with Monaco and then with current side Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappe debuted for Monaco as a skinny 16-year-old in 2015.
He even featured as a scrawny youngster against Tottenham at the old White Hart Lane that year, before fans realised what an icon he would become.
The following season, Mbappe really rose to superstardom as Monaco reached the Champions League semi-finals.
In a throwback snap shared earlier this week, an 18-year-old Mbappe could be seen chatting to a reporter after grabbing a Champions League brace against Borussia Dortmund in April 2017.

The Italian returned to the club in 2021 as part of Carlo Ancelotti’s backroom team following two years with Inter Milan.
He has also previously had spells in England with Chelsea, West Ham and Sunderland.
Pintus has been part of four Champions League-winning campaigns across his two stints in the Spanish capital.
