The first 3 victims of Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid: one of them will lose his shirt number
The addition of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid will have more than obvious consequences. An operation of this caliber always leaves several victims, and in the case of the still player of Paris Saint-Germain, it will be no different.
Florentino Pérez has very advanced talks for him to land next July 1, and with the letter of freedom, and in some newspapers they are already daring to call the deal closed, although they will wait to make it official.
With the landing of the 25-year-old striker, they will make a notable jump in quality in the squad, but Carlo Ancelotti will have to do without some footballer to be able to make room for him in the lineup.
And all eyes are on Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes , who may lose prominence. They will no longer be the main offensive references, and will have to accept that all the covers will be occupied by the winner of the Golden Boy in 2017.
The ex of Santos is the one who has the best chance of going to the bench, because Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham are untouchable, and therefore could be the main victim. Although it cannot be ruled out that it is the ‘7’ that is most harmed, because it occupies the position where the French genius is most comfortable, which is on the left side . And there has even been speculation about the option of him leaving the Santiago Bernabéu.
So you will have to be attentive and closely follow any news that arrives, although there is another crack that can also be affected because of Mbappé. And it is that Florentino Pérez wants to give him a galactic number, and right now, ’10’ is the most likely, since it is the same one he has in the ‘blue’ selection. He has been owned by Luka Modric for over a year now, but seeing his contract expire in June would push him to pack his bags.
He has not yet signed the renewal, and if it already seemed likely that he would end up leaving, seeing the loss of minutes he has had this season, now it is even more so.
Would Mbappé be well received in the dressing room?
Seeing all this, a question that many people have started to ask themselves is whether Mbappé would be well received in the dressing room. Because in addition to the jealousy it would cause in its colleagues to receive a much higher salary than them, it would also cause several victims, as we have already mentioned.
