In recent weeks, Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappé has caused a lot of ink to flow.
This interest has grown over the past 48 hours since it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain had placed the 24-year-old on the transfer list following his decision not to sign a new contract.
Mbappé would be free to leave PSG next summer when his current contract expires, and Real Madrid intended to sign him then. However, his plans could change as a result of these revelations.
If Bondy’s crack is recruited now, he will undoubtedly be a starter under Carlo Ancelotti next season. According Sportit would mean that Rodrygo would disappear from the squad, despite his excellent performances in the 2022-23 campaign.
Ancelotti tested a 4-4-2 system during pre-season, which would see Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo playing as centre-forwards rather than wingers. Mbappé would likely replace the latter in his role, as Vinicius is considered Real Madrid’s most important player, so he won’t be ruled out.
Besides, Ancelotti could decide to return to his tried and tested 4-3-3 if Mbappé signs this summer, which would allow Rodrygo to take a place on the right wing. Even if that’s not the case and the 22-year-old is left on the bench, the depth of Real Madrid’s attack for next season would pose a serious danger to Spanish and European clubs.
