Over the course of the previous several years, the narrative of Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid has consistently controlled the attention of various media sources. Despite the fact that the 25-year-old player has been at the club’s doorstep on several occasions in the past, the transaction has never been difficult.
Nevertheless, there is a distinct difference in the rumors that have been going about this time. As his contract with Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end in the summer, Mbappe has made it clear that he will be leaving the club, not just to the management but also to the players in the locker room.
Furthermore, it has been stated that the announcement of Mbappe’s arrival has also been made in the dressing room of Real Madrid.
Reply from one of the players
In spite of the fact that rumors are circulating at a high rate, there has been an odd lack of communication between the offices and the dressing room of Real Madrid over the possibility of signing Mbappe.
On the other hand, the brilliant midfielder for Los Blancos, Federico Valverde, broke the silence over the coming of the World Cup champion by stating,
He was quoted as saying, “Kylian Mbappé is a great player, and he is always welcome,” according to El Chiringuito.
As was previously disclosed, the Merengues have presented a proposal that includes a hefty signing-on fee for the player, a Ballon d’Or clause worth €15 million, and earnings ranging from €19 million to €22 million each season.
To what extent, however, the Frenchman’s entourage is content with the offer is something that has to be established.
Manoeuvres of a tactical nature
The acquisition of Mbappe will bring yet another of the most illustrious names in football from across the globe into the locker room at Santiago Bernabeu.
However, since Vinicius Jr. is already established in the left-wing position, Mbappe will not have the opportunity to play in the position that he feels most comfortable playing at Real Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti foresees three potential tactical alterations that might be made in order to accommodate Mbappe inside his dynamics. Two of the three alternatives described above include Real Madrid adopting a 4-4-2 formation with Rodrygo being removed from the lineup. On the other hand, a 4-3-3 formation would need Real Madrid to give up a midfielder such as Eduardo Camavinga.
It should come as no surprise that Ancelotti will be under a great deal of pressure to find a position for the Frenchman superstar that does not disrupt the existing dynamics or equilibrium of the squad.
