Why Kylian Mbappé signing for Real could cause problems for Vinicius and Rodrygo – report

Vinicius Jr. has expressed his support for Kylian Mbappé’s potential arrival at the club.

This declaration has reignited discussions about Mbappé’s future, even as it presents a potential challenge for Vinicius Jr., who has welcomed the idea of competing alongside the French sensation.

The ongoing drama surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s future has taken a back seat lately after a turbulent summer. Mbappé’s contract negotiations led to strained relations with PSG, although a compromise was eventually reached.

However, a contract extension remains elusive. Vinicius Jr.’s recent statement in an interview with France Football has added a new dimension to the situation.

Vinicius Jr. openly welcomes Mbappé to Real Madrid, saying, “Here, everyone wants to play with Kylian. I hope it happens someday, hopefully. He’s one of the best players, perhaps the best of all currently. He’s on another level!”

Mbappé’s preferred position on the field is the left wing, creating direct competition for Vinicius, who also excels in that role. While Vinicius has occasionally played as a forward, his desire is to occupy a more central and slightly withdrawn position on the field.

According to Diario AS, the potential arrival of Mbappé could create an intriguing dynamic within the Real Madrid squad.

The challenge for the club’s coach, whether Ancelotti or a future successor, will be to balance the strengths and preferences of both Vinicius and Mbappé while maximizing their contributions to the team.

In his early days at Paris Saint-Germain, the 2018 World Cup winner played as a right winger. If he chooses to play on the right wing at Real, Rodrygo could also face problems.
