What is certain is that Mbappe's determination to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer has become unshakable, despite being thwarted by the great Paris.
According to Spanish media, in order to sign Mbappe, Real Madrid President Florentino plans to give the French striker a signing fee of up to 120 million euros and 60% of the image rights, and the salary is also the team's maximum salary of 15 million euros.
Although the negotiations between Mbappe and Real Madrid have gone through many windows, Florentino still gave Mbappe enough time to think about it for the first time, and gave him a treatment that even Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo did not enjoy, which can be described as full of sincerity.
In view of the addition of Mbappe, Real Madrid will not only have to make changes at the tactical level to develop a style of play that suits the French striker, but also this summer, Real Madrid will send away a number of players to free up positions and salary space for other positions, and they will make squad changes with Mbappe as the core.
Although Mbappe can play almost all positions in the forward line, the player's favorite and best position is the left winger position, so the current Brazilian star Vinicius has to give up the main position.
Vinicius moved to Real Madrid in July 2018 for €45 million and has made more than 250 appearances in all competitions for the club to date, scoring 73 goals and providing 71 assists. In addition, Vinicius has helped Real Madrid win 10 trophies, including: 1 Champions League, 2 Club World Cups, 2 La Liga titles, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 Spanish Cup, and 3 Spanish Super Cups.
Although Vinicius has achieved great success at Real Madrid, and he signed a contract extension with the team until 2027 at the end of October last year, everything could change with Mbappe arriving at the Bernabeu, and the left wing of Real Madrid will belong to the future heart of the team.
To be sure, Real Madrid are unlikely to have two world-class stars in the same position, and Vinicius is unlikely to be a long-term substitute for Mbappe, so leaving Real Madrid and moving to another big club could be the best option for the Brazilian superstar.
Of course, in addition to Vinicius, Real Madrid also has another meritorious player who will also leave this summer, and that is the former Ballon d'Or winner midfielder Luka Modric.
The Croatian captain moved from Tottenham to Real Madrid for €35 million in the summer of 2012 and has so far made more than 350 appearances for the club, scoring 28 goals. It should also be mentioned that the 38-year-old veteran has helped the team win 23 trophies in his nearly 12 years with Real Madrid, including five of the most important Champions League trophies.
According to Spanish media analysis, Modric has decided to refuse the invitation of the Saudi team, he will join Messi's American professional league this summer, and the No. 10 shirt he wears will be handed over to the upcoming Mbappe.
It is worth noting that Real Madrid are likely to send away Vinicius and Modric at the same time as giving the two 34-year-old veterans another year of contract, Joselu and Kroos.
After Benzema's departure, Real Madrid joined Joselu on loan from relegated Spaniard for a measly €500,000, and the player has scored 12 goals and provided four assists this season. Although Brazilian striker Endrick will join Real Madrid this summer, he is still very young after all, and Joselu, who has performed well, still has a chance to rotate in the center of the field. And Kroos left a similar role, mainly playing the role of a passer in the midfield position.
