Earning hefty wages, and a guarantee of play time at PSG. Mbappe has been a loyal member of Nasser Al-Khelaifi. With such constant rejections, Real Madrid has finally struck their demand and has decided to move on from Mbappe. But have decided that they will still keep an open door for him if he decides to change his mind.
Mbappe has previously claimed that the striker position is not where he feels comfortable and prefers to play on the left wing. This statement provides some form of trouble for Real Madrid officials. Because upon the left wing, they do hold one of the best wingers in the current generation, Vinicius Jr.
Vinicius Jr. has been a player of commendable potential for Real Madrid so far. Across his 5-year spell so far, Vinicius has featured across 240 matches in all competitions wherein he has scored 65 goals and has also provided his teammates with 68 assists as well.
Being a constant threat, Vinicius has helped the Galacticos win 2x La Liga, 1x UEFA Champions League, 2x FIFA Club World Cup, 1x UEFA Super Cup, 1x Copa del Rey, and 2x Spanish Super Cup. Holding such honors dropping Vinicius won’t be easy for Real Madrid as well.
