Real Madrid were once again at their worst on Tuesday evening, losing 1-3 at the Bernabeu to AC Milan in the Champions League. Faced with a major problem, Florentino Perez had no hesitation in choosing between Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappé, who has been criticised for several weeks.
Real Madrid are already in crisis. Still beaten 1-3 at home by AC Milan on Matchday 4 of the Champions League, the Casa Blanca club already have their backs against the wall. While they trail Barcelona by 9 points in La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are also badly placed in the Champions League.
Indeed, after losing to AC Milan, Real Madrid are now 17th in the league table under the new Champions League format. And for many, the sole culprit is Kylian Mbappe, who has been a little too transparent in matches since the start of the season. Like Karim Benzema and Thierry Henry, Kylian Mbappe is clearly having trouble adapting to the centre-forward position. The French international, who has always made his mark playing on the left, finds himself forced to play in a position he does not like.
Vinicius Jr on the move to install Mbappé?
To restore cohesion and balance to the team, Carlo Ancelotti knows he will have to sacrifice a star between Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, both of whom like playing on the left. The situation is all the more worrying given that the France captain is already fed up of playing centre-forward at Real Madrid. But according to the daily SPORT, Florentino Perez already has an idea in mind.
The President of Real Madrid, who already knew that the signing of Kylian Mbappe would pose tactical problems for Carlo Ancelotti, has already planned everything. If the media are to be believed, Florentino Perez is seriously considering parting company with Vinicius Jr in order to put Kylian Mbappe in a better position. Real Madrid have offered him a 5-year contract on the club’s highest salary. He is a marketing product who is already earning a fortune for the institution, as he is above all more of a star than the Brazilian, who is a little too hated in Spain and around the world for his provocation and complaints.
‘It’s very clear that Florentino Pérez would choose Mbappé over Vinícius if Real Madrid had to decide between the two at the mercato. The Madrid club were already aware of the potential tensions with Neymar when he arrived at PSG, as the two players occupied almost the same position. Neymar’s numerous absences due to injury have allowed Mbappé to take a central role in the team, and that was one of the reasons why the Parisian club eventually decided to part company with him, so that Mbappé could become the undisputed leader. At Madrid, the situation is similar: Vinícius now occupies the position that Mbappé should, and he has become a key player, more decisive than the Frenchman in recent months. But for the Real Madrid project to reach its full potential, the club will probably make a choice between these two talents for a transfer,’ it reads.
