If they did sign Mbappe, they would probably just move Bellingham deeper into midfield. He’s so versatile

[niconb]

To be fair benzema loved playing off the left wing too and combined amazingly with vini. Now this would require mbappe to develop more technical passing skills, but it could work. If anyone can fit mbappe in its Carlo ancelotti

[adhnaanahmed]

I guess endrick would better fit in striker position and fulfill what real madrid needs now.nbappe might be tactical headache for this team

[shivamkumar-lgpl]

Last year "do real madrid need bellingham?" This year "do real madrid need mbappe?"😅

[Jacob-wuif]

I just hope Real Madrid doesn’t pull a Griezman, Countinho, Arda Turan, Andre Gomes, and Dembele…

[pauldaplayfulpanda]

Similar to Haaland and City, not a need but with a few tactical shifts, it could be magic

[JW_FAN]

Real Madrid don’t need mbappe
Mbappe need Real Madrid

[wat]

Tbf Real probably wants Mbappe to build a galacticos bench, like the starting 11 is already a bit overkill to begin with

[fassain]

Real Madrid just making the best Ultimate Team squad 💀

[ilayabekasis]

Benzema used to love having the ball and creating plays. He wasn’t as forward as you would expect a traditional striker. Mbappe is so talented I’m sure he’ll figure out how to fit into this system while still influencing the build up.

Mbappe fumbled his chance to play for Madrid in my opinion, if reports are to be believed Madrid's offer to Mbappe this time around is actually less than their last offer which says a lot. Seems like Halaand or even Endrick will be Madrid's future number 9.

[xavierthexavier]

Imma be honest man. I have my Doubts with Mbappe in Madrid.

[srivatsanmadhavan]

I think Real Madrid shoudm start signing defenders from next year as their attack is an absolute headache for carlos ancelotti to pick the team
Mainly when Mbappe comes in to the team

[viv]

Mbappe to Real Madrid sounds like a commercial master stroke, similar to Messi/Ney/Mbappe at PSG and Beckham at Madrid, but in reality, I don’t think it works well for the team dynamics and cohesion on the pitch, assuming they will retain the current squad plus Endrick. Mbappe to Madrid is a vanity project, similar to the Galacticos era in my opinion. We shall see how it all plays out.

[Srikar-ximb]

They would move Jude deeper into midfield, but at the cost of his prolific goal-scoring, which Ancelotti wouldn't mind with Kylian Mbappe around

[shalinichandhok]

Real Madrid always does this remember Del Bosque Era They lost a pure gem as a manager for team full of stars i think perez should understand that a good team isn't that have 11 star players a good team is that team which makes every 11 players of them a star

[grant]

100% agree. Vini and Rodrygo naturally play best at LW, so does Mbappe. THREE world-class Left-Wingers is too crowded. Only options are reduce minutes or play in unnatural position.

[tejasvinsingh]

I think it’ll come down to whether or not Madrid win UCL this season. They would really go after him if UCL title eludes them this year.

[MandoCarlrisian]

This new real marrid side is going to be so scary. They even have endrick to come, just scary days ahead

[gamerzgang]

How did this guy question something that many fans think is simply obvious with reason? Commendable thinking yet I still trust Don Carlo to have something in mind.
