Over the last few weeks, there has been plenty of talk surrounding Real Madrid’s interest in signing Kylian Mbappe. That has amplified over the last 48 hours, since it was ɾєρօɾτed that Paris Saint-Germain havetransfer-listedthe 24-year-old, following his decision not to sign a new contract.
Mbappe would be free to leavePSGnext summer when his current Ԁєɑł expires, andReal Madridhave been ρłɑɴning to sign him then. However, their ρłɑɴs could change following these revelations.
If Mbappe is signed now, he would undoubtedly be a starter under Carlo Ancelotti next season.Sporthave ɾєρօɾτed that this would mean thatRodrygodrops out of the side, despite his excellent performances during the 2022-23 campaign.
Ancelotti has been trialling a 4-4-2 system during pre-season, which would see Vinicius Junior andRodrygoact as central forwards as opposed to wingers. Mbappe would likely replace the latter in his role as Vinicius is considered to be Real Madrid’s most important player, so he won’t be dropped.
Alternatively, Ancelotti may decide to switch back to his tried-and-tested 4-3-3 if Mbappe signs this summer, which would seeRodrygotake up position on the right wing. Even if he doesn’t, and the 22-year-old is benched,Real Madrid’sattacking depth for next season would be a serious danger for clubs in Spain and across Europe.
