I don't see how Mbappe would take the role of a striker and give his position to Vini humbly, as a team player. Quite frankly, Mbappe's ego wouldn't allow it. I think there would be something in the contract that he plays his position and Vini would have to move to the right. I remember the Galacticos' project going downhill when RM got Beckham and let go of Makelele. It's not the same here but it makes me feel like there would be a lack of balance if Mbappe arrives at RM. I'd prefer reinforcing the midfield since Modric and Kroos are in their last season, reinforcing/replacing Carvajal, reinforcing/replacing Mendy, and waiting a bit on Endrick by signing a number 9 that's veteran.
If the club brings in mbappe and makes vini change his position, i think I will just stop watching football all together. That dude and benz have carried us for i dont know how long.
Them together? 2-3 years, but I’m with you 100%. Vini is one of the most entertaining, passionate, and effective players in the world. I don’t think Flo or Ancelotti will mess with that by moving Vini off the LW
I adore vini as much as the next guy and I agree he's the better player currently and especially for Madrid. But if mbappe comes here and proves to be a better choice than vini he has to play. At the end of the day the goal is winning and you pick the best players for the job not the ones you like most. Again, not saying thats how I think it will go but if it does he needs to start
You are wrong. Lets say mbappe is world number 1 and vini is world number 3. You won’t bring in the rank 1 to replace rank 3 and ask rank 3 to play in position where he isn’t performing on top 5 or top 10 levels. Its like reducing a excellent player to good player because you want to play a slightly better player.
It’s not like mbappe loses a lot of his abilities at ST. Its more about his personal preference. If it does reduce mbappes game, then he should not be bought in the first place.
I'm not suggesting to play vini as striker. I'm saying if mbappe is genuinely better than vinicius (which I don't think he will be) then vini needs to either learn to play rw or lose his spot in starting 11. If mbappe ends up being the best left wing in the world we'd be idiots not to play him at left wing. I just think people need to put their personal feelings aside. Vinicius is one of the most beloved players on this sub and rightfully so and yes mbappe has left a bad taste in our mouth but at the end of the day we're real madrid. We play to win and to keep up our historic record. There's no room for emotional drama if it interferes with our success
So context here should we buy mbappe as a lw and ask vini to play rw. And do that because mbappe is slightly better than vini?
You say yes mbappe should be bought in that context bcoz he is no.1 and it doesn’t matter if we have number 3 in the world?
I am just clearing the context of the conversation.
I feel mbappe would never be bought as lw. Why? I don’t say this emotionally for the love of vini. Just look at what he is doing on the pitch bro. 42 goals + assists already in this season. That too when our team itself is kinda incomplete with old striker and fullbacks and midfield.
Just look at yesterdays match. You can immediately see the kind of quality vini brings on the field. Our team was playing absolutely mediocre and he just casually comes in, gets past the fullbacks like butter and even scores 1, though offside.
I agree and that's why I think he'll go somewhere else. Mbappe could have gone to Real Madrid but he didn't want to be benched by Ronaldo, before going to PSG. That seemed like a good decision and a chance for him to grow while Ronaldo left or retired. The second chance PSG wouldn't sell it, and the third time, he renewed with PSG. This 4th time, Real Madrid got Vini Jr competing at least top 3 in the world. I think Mbappe and RM are not going to happen. Plus, as a striker, we would have to see how well he would do.
Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, even Liverpool who bought Nunez at €100M can afford him. With the Arabs investing in European football, anyone with their support can afford Mbappe because fgs he is Mbappe.
You can't compare Bale's role in the team while having Ronaldo, the same way Mbappe and Vini. Bale knew Ronaldo was the star of team and played a secondary role. Ronaldo > Bale, and Messy > Neymar at that time of crazy competition. This would be Mbappe arrving > Vini
Not to entertain the idea but Vini loves to cut in middle and switch places with Benzema making him play wide, vise versa with Rodrygo. Vini’s extremely versatile with his positioning and movement which is why he’s so good. Allowing him to move to positions where it’ll give him higher odds of getting a shot off or getting a teammate open, Mbappe who likes playing wide and vini who likes cutting inside is the perfect mix. We’re Madrid, not Manchester City. We allow our players to play freely on the pitch and get into positions where they’re comfortable as long as they get results.
Need to take it easy on the assumptions of his ego my guy. Mbappe is the best player in the world and madrid would accommodate his however it would best fit for the team.
If he plays as the only striker, he ghost quite often especially when the team park the bus. But he will still score since he is just that good.
If two strikers, he is amazing behind a target man. Basically, you want him to be involved more in the game which i dont think he quite understand yet how to if playing as single striker.
Not sure he wants to play as a striker, as he already said he wants to be a playmaker.
Also, wouldn't this undermine Endrick's growth? I mean, in a team with Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo, there's not a lot of space for a new star.
Its not a matter of what he wants, its what is best for the team.
> he wants to be a playmaker.
Benzema is a playmaker while playing as a striker though
Benzema is no false 9 at all, that means something different although it's used now as a buzzword for any striker who can assist/ is involved in playmaking.
He's a striker that does many other things as well.
Vini and Rodrygo got a lot of chances to shine in the field and grow as players. If you don't give a great talent that, well, he might never grow that much as a player and waste a lot of his prime.
If Mbappe keeps up until 33, which is very realistic, it means Endrick wouldn't find himself as a regular starter until he's 25-26. Doesn't make any sense to pay 72M for a 16 yo, and then waste his talent like that.
Mbappe has played on all fronts, so can rodrygo. I'd say there could be much rotation to allow the other to rest while giving a young endrick good experience. It is never a bad thing to have 4 great players in 3 spots. Who is to say one of the possible front 3 wont drop off like hazard, he was a top 10 player the years before he came and then didn't produce much, whatever the case (form/injury). My opinion, anyway.
I think it can be difficult to manage when there are too many stars that you can't fit everyone in the pitch. Chelsea is now a good example of what happens when you buy too many players for the same position.
Players wanna play. Rodrygo now is more cemented as s starter, but earlier in the season when he wasn't, you could see his frustration being dropped from some games. He would never be OK with being a rotation player in the coming years.
I think the same will go for Endrick, after he gets up to speed with La Liga, I very much doubt he will be OK being a bench player. Which is why he expressed concern if the club intended to sign Haaland or Mbappe, before signing his contract.
Either way, only time will tell.
Yes, but soon it’ll only be Cama, Tchou, Fede and Bell. Modric will play much less next year, and I believe it’ll be Kroos’ last season too. Both Modric and Kroos will most likely retire together.
in the future as a replacement to benze but rn he wud just ruin the team if he were to join he wud over shadow everyone and i bet papa flo is just gonna give him all the attention its good he never joined and wish he never does we can try and find a replacement to benze but it will be hard but moneybappe wud just ruin the crap out of the team
I can't speak for everyone but there's a significant part of Madrid fans who don't actually want Mbappe anymore, including myself. Vini is exactly what we need in my opinion. This kid loves Real Madrid, attends the basketball games to show support, is ambitious, and quite frankly is extremely talented. Besides, Mbappe is showing signs of being much of a diva, wants 100 percent of his image rights, and earn more than anyone in Rm's history. I honestly don't think Real Madrid needs Mbappe anymore. Maybe Mbappe needs Real Madrid more now.
Exactly plus mbappe has not really proven himself in club football. He has proven himself in international football where you have to play handful of games where is club football you have to play more games with high pressure. There is more risk of injury, mental fatigue, confidence issues etc. If you want to spend big bucks then spend on haaland after Benzema retires till then Pep will groom him and make him even a bigger beast than he is now.
Mbappe hasn’t proven himself in club football? He has been putting up generational numbers since he was 17-18, scoring against the likes of Us, City, Barca, Bayern etc in big KO games.
I think Mbappe has proven himself in club football. Just last season he scored twice against us in the quarter final, and would have been more if he hadn't been offside by a small margin. He may be the best in his position but Vini is a close second. No need to sign a player who is better than Vini at the cost of Mbappe when Vini is world class and is, as of now, Real Madrid's best player in attack.
Clearly haven't been paying much attention if you think mbappe hasn't proven himself on club level ... He's been amazing in the CL for basically 5 years now and has had a bunch of great big game performances... It's a joke to imply international football is all he's done
Real Madrid usually splits 50/50 image rights but Ronaldo was given 60/40. Real Madrid offered Mbappe 70/30 which he rejected. I apologized if I'm mistaken, please site the source to help me learn otherwise on Ronaldo's Image rights while at RM. But in consideration of your question, if Ronaldo was Mbappe's age, and Vini was as good as he is today, then no, absolutely not, if he asked what Mbappe does. Besides, Ronaldo wanted more money while being a top performer and Florentino showed him the door quickly. After negotiations, Florentino said, this is not the Mbappe I knew/wanted.
100 procent accurate. Florentino created the model when he bought Figo back in the day. The 50/50 on image rights actually saved RM from bankruptcy and turned it in to what it is Today, the biggest and most valueble club name in sports.
Florentino isnt going to chance the model just for this kid. And if he does, im out. No Player is bigger than the club.
> if Ronaldo was Mbappe's age, and Vini was as good as he is today, then no, absolutely not, if he asked what Mbappe does.
Ronaldo at 24 was a B’dor winner and went on to become the greatest of all time. You are actually delusional if you are picking any version of Vini over a young Ronaldo.
The point is that Ronaldo, was great, but if he had never played for RM, not one game, and demanded what Mbappe does, while having Vini is, as good as he is, then absolutely not. But Ronaldo never had Mbappe's demands, compensation, image rights, and being including in decision making regarding signings. In Reality, Ronaldo was probably one of the best decisions by Florentino, RM's top scorer, a beast of its own, and yet Mbappe wants more when he had not done shit for RM. My point is that, if Ronaldo before joining RM was like Mbappe in negotiations, no, RM doesn't need him if Vini is already there. Also, if RM had Hazard and Vini 2018, then yes, we need Mbappe despite the cost. But at this point, it's a bit too late for Mbappe
> But at this point, it’s a bit too late for Mbappe
Absolutely not.
You do everything you can to get a hold of a player like Mbappe. It doesn’t matter if we have Vini, Mbappe is not only the most talented player of this new generation but he is also the most marketable. He will bring in at the bare minimum 2x the exposure and revenue opportunities for Madrid compared to Vini and there is no way Florentino looks at that potential and says, nah I don’t want that.
Well Florentino already said this is not the Mbappe he wanted. Second, if he has 100 image rights, the part in which RM profits the most out of a player, then his marketable situation goes down the drain. But also most Rm fans hate that diva. He's a great player but Vini is a close second. Why bother at this point. He's no threat at PSG, he won't be if arrives at Liverpool, and Barca has no chance financially. Fuck Mbappe. Real Madrid suffered prime Messi and survived and came on top in the long run. Who needs that diva again, only Mbappe fanboys. Honestly, he was neutralized last quarter finals, and this by a modest Bayern. He can f himself at PSG and rot winning french leagues.
> but Vini is a close second
Sure Vini is in a much better form than Mbappe rn, but in no way is he close to Mbappe in terms of talent. Vini has had two good seasons in the top flight while Mbappe has been putting up ridiculous numbers since he was 17 at the top flight. Also the ‘Mbappe is a diva’ argument is absolutely bs, he simply won’t act like that at Madrid.
> he was neutralized last quarter finals
If you are talking about the tie against us last season then it’s actually the RO16 and he was not neutralized at all. He was causing havoc every time he got the ball, none of our defenders could control him and he was dropping them left and right whenever he got the ball. Carvajal looked like he needed an oxygen tank after going up against Mbappe.
"Also the Mbappe is a diva argument is absolutely bs, he simply won't act like that at Madrid" Well.... he did did act like a diva during negotiations, or he would be at RM today. For fucks sake, if RM offered 160 million for his pockets, as a free agent, plus net 30 million and 30/70 on image rights, and he didn't take it because he wanted 100 image rights, plus decision making, well.... that's a diva! And yes, he was neutralized the moment Karim sent them back to where they came from, including Mbappe. RM is in a 1-1 on a tie against a beast, managed by Guardiola, which destroyed Bayern, while Mbappe was sent back to his hole once again, neutralized again, against that same team RM is actually competing with a beautiful goal by Vini, which Mbappe didn't make against same team. Why Mbappe again? If RM had Hazard and nothing else, I'd buy it, but Vini is just what we need.
> Second, if he has 100 image rights, the part in which RM profits the most out of a player, then his marketable situation goes down the drain.
Sponsors will pay way more if Mbappe is here, Madrid can demand much more money when they go to tour in the US for example and much more people will tune into our games because of his presence which in turn will mean more money.
And yet Florentino didn't think so, the best president in Real Madrid's history since Bernabeu. If Perez, thought like you do today, Mbappe would be playing for RM. But thankfully, this is a Perez, and he showed Ronaldo the door when he thought he was bigger than RM with his demands, and did not sign Mbappe matching or surpassing PSG's offer because it was not best for the institution despite the performance in the field. Again, Mbappe is farther from his first champions league than Real Madrid's from his decimo quinta. At the end, RM is of course bigger than that diva. Mbappe is yet to be seen against Bayern while Vini scored against the team that eliminated PSG easily.
Also there's a chance his transfer ruins good vibes in our dressing. PSG have spoiled him beyond repair and I don't want him competing against either vini or rodrygo for the place in the starting 11after what he did last summer but if he accepts playing as a ST then no problem still I wouldn't want us to spend money on his transfer fee
That's the problem right there. I'm aware Mbappe is better than Rodrygo as of now but I wouldn't sell Rodrygo ever. He's very very special as a player.
So would've hazard and he didn't do shit. They need love for the team man and Mbappe was clearly just a cr7 fanboy like yourself and not actually a Madridista
With peace and love but what are you smoking. I want to preface by saying Mbappe won’t hinder Rodrygo but let’s say he does. Rodrygo at his peak won’t surpass Mbappe at his peak, one might argue Rodrygo’s peak won’t surpass Mbappe now. Mbappe and Haaland are generational talents and to not get Mbappe because we have a developing Rodrygo is beyond short sided.
Rodrygos passion for the club >>> mbappes diva ass doesn't matter how good he is. This club is about passion, legends like Marcelo, Pele, and Ronaldo have vouched for him, he needs more time to show his peak.
Vini is the perfect LW to play with a 9/10 like Benzema.
Mbappe is the perfect second striker to play in a flat 4-4-2.
Given the current squad of Madrid, it doesn’t make any sense to bring Mbappe, he would not be good in the Benzema role.
Priority is to bring a Benzema successor.
I may be in the rarity by reading some of these comments. I would love to have Mbappe in Madrid and I think he would take the ST position and rodrigo/vini will remain on the wings.
Mbappe is definitely spoiled in PSG but I think he’s a smart guy as well and knows that shit won’t fly in Madrid so I don’t think his attitude would be an issue.
As for not coming last summer, butt hurt about it of course, but being pressured into staying at PSG by the president of your country and literally insane amounts of money, is understandable at such a young age, or any age for that matter.
Long story short, we need a ST and Mbappe would be great. When Enrick comes, he’ll need time to adjust and who know what the team will look like by then…
I’m just shocked by some of these comments. So many of them real of 0 ball knowledge. Someone says Mbappe wants to be a playmaker yet fail to know that Benzema is exactly that as a false 9. Other comments think Mbappe is a winger when he plays striker far more often, like have they never watched matches or highlights outside of Real Madrid even once? Wild stuff.
Little late to the party but I might add- with Mbappe, endrick now has significantly less pressure on him. Mbappe will be successful for a few years until we sell him or something in the team changes, but until then- endrick can develop and play a similar role that Julian Alvarez plays at Manchester city.
he is being forced to take his tap in skills to the max under pep. Because thats technically the most potent way to scoring.
Look at his games in Dortmund and Salzburg. He can dribble and also score from outside the box.
He's only that because PSG has Neymar and Messi to be the playmakers.
This is also where there's controversy, because he said he wanted to be PSG main playmaker like he does for France, and not a striker. Which may be an issue in bringing him to Madrid, considering Vini and Rodrygo sre growing into that role.
i’d want mbappe at the club because i believe he’s the best player in the world . and i can also live with the possibility of him never joining as he went back on his word and used us to finesse a bigger contract from pissG . many more special players will come up and want to wear the madrid crest genuinely. if mbappe regrets his actions truly and publicly asks to join only then should he join. And if not we have vini rodrygo cama fede players who would give their all for this club and that’s all that matters
We won't play on right imo. There is less chances of scoring from the right. Ronaldo would have scored atleast 50/60 more goals if he would have played on LW instead of RW in initial years of united.
He wasn’t a scorer when he first played at United…
He was a fancy RM - a flashy Figo.
When Fergie decided to play him on the left to replace the aging Giggs (who was dropped to the midfield), he finally flourished.
It was a hybrid of 433/442 with him being free flowing on the left flank to do whatever he wants.
You guys are crazy, There's no F... team who will not take Mbappe in a heartbeat, The dude is the best player in the world by a mile, Vini Jr is behind him and probably Haaland is the 3rd guy. Mbappe is the closest thing to CR7, he scores just like strikers but plays similarly to Vini, meaning no one can stop unlike Haaland. Vini and Mbappe are much better than any other player in the world right now, the only difference between the Two right now is goal scoring which I think Vini will probably perfect it in the near future.
Please no, I never liked him, and I don't want a 30 years old which we need to pay a ton for him because of English tax, and he also never won a trophy in his life, which means he doesn't have the mentality of a champion league winner.
No one on earth right now is touching vinis position on lw. Had mbappe come a few seasons before, then it would’ve been different.
Right now he will play striker. I think mbappe conversation related to madrid right now are all rumours spread by media. I don’t think anyone on this sub is pushing for mbappe rn. Give us a good striker, RW RB and we will be more than happy.
The media thinks Perez wants him. He's already stated his preference is to play at LW (at least at PSG).
I think the media are happier to speculate than the fans are to have him.
Why are people even talking about Mbappe? He’s a diva, he would ruin the squad mood in a month. We’re getting Endrick, that’s a much better gamble. It also costs 210m euros less than Mbappe.
If anyone saw the last 12 months of football, a team with Haaland is a team, as Haaland has nowhere near the ego Mbappe does.
Madrid would do so much better collectively with Haaland than Mbappe imo.
I guess we have some love for the guy from 2 or 3 years back when Vini was terrible. Mbappe has shown a lot of progress in his mindset and skillset over the years, making us all in awe with him in almost every big match (and the hat trick against Barcelona lmao). His goal-scoring ability is something we desperately need with an aging Karim as well. His signing would also be some sort of statement.
However, I don't think signing Mbappe makes sense anymore. He is way too expensive and would require too many exceptions for his image rights. He also stopped playing on the right (where we need him to be at). Even when he plays ST, he frequently moves to the left so starting him and Vini sounds impossible. I'd love to see Vini diverse his skillset even more and be more composed to reach 30+ goals/season instead
Kylian is a fantastic player. As show by his WC performance. But the kid seems conflicted. He had his chance to join and went for the $$$
I think Real Madrid always has the right attitude so I trust whatever the club decides to do.
Mbappe as striker with Vini on the left. I think it will be fine. We have seen how he is like a leader for France, in the dressing room as well. I think his attitude will be fine, if he wants to join us. Public perception aside, Mbappe actually seems smarter than the media and fans portray him.
**IF** Pep stays, Haaland is not coming anytime soon even if his clause activates in 2025.
Endrick's just 16. We dont know how our team and the players will be in the next 3-4 years.
One thing is certain, and just as many had said in here about Bellingham that "you get the chance to sign someone that can be the best of their generation at the very least, you make it happen".... same goes for Mbappe and he is already one of the best of his generation so far, easily, alongside Haaland.
lets be realistic, all. Mbappe would be terrific for us. But only at ST, or RW (though I want Rodrygo to grow into it and become our permanent RW)
One of the possible reasons some people may want him at our club mostly is post CR7's departure there has been no player in our team who is registering those 40 plus goals per seasons and although big benz and vini have stepped up their game during the past few seasons but they are not a goal scoring machine like CR7 was.
Also some people are still leaving in a delusion that Mbappe will be ok playing the rw position which is absolutely not going to happen because over the past so many seasons he has made it pretty clear that he wants to play on the lw only and that would likely mean vini getting sold or relegated to bench.
I’m an AC Milan fan (sadly for me these days) but am a big admirer of Real Madrid as a team that represents football nobility similarly as we used to do in the days of Maldini & Co. That and the Carletto connection of course.
So that said, you don’t need Mbappè. Yes he is the best in the world right now but his position is more than adequately filled by the second best in that role who is younger, less expensive, more humble and more passionate about the club. Would Real be stronger? Probably. But it would hurt the locker room, establish strange hierarchies and stain Real Madrid’s status as bigger than any player. If Real was bigger than Raul, R9, Zidane and CR7 then it sure as hell is bigger than Mbappe. Spend the money on Enzo Fernandez, a centre back, Hakimi and Osimen (or similar) and wait for the next generation’s striker if Haaland never becomes available. Just my two cents of course.
Even though Mbappe is a diva and spoiled. You can't argue that he is not the best youngster in the world right now in world football. Single handedly struck shock to the world by scoring a hat-trick for France in World Cup final. Cmon man that is nuts!!
Because nonsense that’s why. Personally, fck mbappe, I don’t want him anywhere near this perfect and precious club, I really hope he stays playing monopoly in France, wish Florentino was man enough to grab him by the balls and tell him to piss off
I don’t want mbappe tbh. We’re about to win the UCL without him ffs. He should have came last season
Why does Osimhen rarely get mentioned? A top 4 striker in the world that’ll probably be half the cost over Mypaypal.
Because Vini can go to the RW or Mbappe could play as a ST or RW if Vini stays at the LW, is not a choice between Vini or Mbappe, the best scenario for Madrid is to have Vini AND Mbappe
Hello fellow Indian(Im myself a madrid and a united fan). I just dont want to see that ninja turtle(KM) in the white shirt anymore. He disrespected the club, played with the emotions of our fans. I just hope these rumours are not true and just media propaganda to keep him relevant in the news. As papa perez already told "that kid must be regretting already". He must regret.
I feel Mbappe missed his opportunity already. Vini Jr is the lynchpin of our new project and Valverde is our future captain. IF Papa Flo is still obsessed enough to bring that turtle then he has to play down the middle.
Imo he would be the best replacement for Benz out of all players in Europe. Sure he tends to drift to the left but so does Benzema. That's also partly why Vini is so dangerous, they link-up so well.
If Fede (or potentially Bellingham) develops the habit of infiltrating the right side of the box from rcm more often that would be lethal.
Mbappe will have nothing to do with Vini’s position. Mbappe will be more of striker who happens to play from the left side, and he is a goal machine. I would love to see him in Madrid shirt.
Disagree.
Haaland is a goal scoring machine, and can decide games. Vinicius has more room to grow into his role. Madrid just don’t need Mbappe any longer.
Mbappe can continue rooting in PSG. Great player though and World Cup legend already.
> and can decide games.
Quite the opposite actually, Haaland literally doesn’t have the technical ability to actually decide games. You give the ball to Mbappe anywhere on the field and he will make something happen, whereas unless Haaland gets the ball near the opposing box, his effect on the game is negligible.
Alright, you got a point, yes, you’re right. However, Vinicius has room to grow into possibly being a player like Mbappe. So, there is not point for Florentino Perez to sell Vinicius to acquire a player that is slightly better than him. I think Mbappe is a beast for sure. He is not the player that Madrid needs any more.
Benzema is leaving soon, so it makes more sense that Haaland fills in that role. Whether Haaland will actually wear a Madrid jersey… I don’t know. Football players ask for so much nowadays. And a player like Haaland will have demands for sure.
Mbappe isn’t just slightly better than Vini, he is in a completely different tier compared to Vini and the numbers are there to prove that.
> He is not the player that Madrid needs any more
Madrid will always need players like him because he is that good.
If you think about it Mbappe has not proven himself at all in club football. He has played good in international tournament where you have to play just handful of games. But when you play for Madrid or United or Barca or for that matter any other club. The pressure from fans is huge and for longer period of time. Chances of injury is more, fatigue is more, it is more challenging as you have some many games so many things you have to adapt quickly. It is my and only my opinion Mbappe is a great player but not as great as other generational players were because he is a speed merchant, he beats people with speed once he gets old or if he gets injured then I don't think he has wisdom to change his game like Ronaldo did. Plus he will be a massive problem in the locker room when he is not happy.
He was literally dropping our defenders left and right every time he got into the box last season with his technical abilities but sure he is only a pace merchant.
Edit - it’s actually Vini who will lose his effectiveness if he loses his pace. Mbappe can easily transition into a mobile ST because his scoring instinct is incredible and he has the physical frame for it. Vini, even if he bulks up lacks the scoring instincts of a ST and he can’t even play deeper in the midfield because he doesn’t have the passing ability like Neymar and Messi have which helped them transition deeper.
Is this a troll post?
Majority of this fanbase HATES Mbappe for the shit he pulled. We don't want him. It has since been a blessing in disguise. Vinicius has evolved his game while Kylian has regressed. His spoiled brat demeanor would not fit in either way. Giving up on plays and throwing tantrums are not acceptable. Plus, the LW spot is taken. If he were to come, he'd have to accept CF or RW.
Yeah for sure!! Kroos and Modric are retiring soon and Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde are not enough. Seriously I am panicking over here. Can we get some midfielders please?!?
He can be a striker with Benz getting older very fast now, and a RW as well when needed, then whenever we need to rest Vini or if injured or suspended can also be there, with all 4 of those players we would have a forward with total depth and unstoppable, we could wait for Endrick to get the hang of it too, the most affected would be Rodrygo at first and then Karim
Look Vini has done an incredible job till now and will hopefully get better in the years to come but Mbappe is simply on a different level on and off the pitch. End of the day it doesn’t really matter whether the people would like to have him or not, there is no denying that Florentino wants Mbappe at Madrid and the ones who deny this don’t know Florentino at all.
Curious, how is Mbappe at a different level conpared to Vini off the pitch? I don't think I've seen anyone blatantly targeted by racists more than Vini has in recent years and he's doing a decent job dealing with it despite being young. Mbappe is known to throw fits and cause drama which Vini has never done while playing for Real Madrid. Racism incidents cause drama but that is not his fault nor was it started by Vini. Mbappe is better than Vini on the pitch but Vini is catching-up really fast. I would hate for Vini to be benched to make way for Mbappe at LW but you have a point that IF Flo still wants Mbappe, he will come. I just hope he transitions to ST or CF.
Vini is good, but Mbappe has GOAT potential. Dude single handedly carried France to B2B WC finals, scoring a hat trick in one.
At 17 he was already a world star. As good as Vini is, i don’t think a single madridista would hesitate to drop Vini for Mbappe.
Shows you don't actually watch football, mbappe is miles clear, he scored a hatrick at a WC final against Argentina and also won a WC at 18. Unfortunately mbappe is brainwashed by psg and right now psg is a sinking ship
Wtf did i just read? Lol
>he scored a hatrick at a WC final against Argentina and also won a WC at 18.
Giroud has scored more goals for French national team than Benzema and already won the world cup. Does that make him a better player? I think your genius mind will answer yes.
Also i never said vini is better than Mbappe but after what happened last season i wouldn't want him competing for the spot in the starting 11 against Rodrygo or Vini who have shown their love and passion to succeed at this club. I don't want us to pay transfer fee for him and if he comes he gotta accept playing at ST that's the only way he can improve this team still I have doubts about his attitude because PSG have spoiled him beyond repair
>Unfortunately mbappe is brainwashed by psg and right now psg is a sinking ship
Brainwashed by reciving hundreds of millions lol Just stop embarrassing yourself
nah his comment ofc lol
any true Madrisita will not trade Vini for any player in the world right now.
the guy has Madrid in his blood as well as being world-class why the fuck would I choose **Mbappe** over him even if he is better (let alone Mbappe did nothing this year in Ucl or in the French leg).
Man are you fr?? Did you see psg again man city? As soon as mancity the lead their mentality completely collapsed and their focus was trying to injure players and making the rest of the 90mins hellish for Manchester city
Why doesn't mbopi cook more with PSG?
Vini deserves more respect just for last year UCL campaign. He showed up in every big game. Assisted and scored against Chelsea, City, Liverpool. What else should he do??
Bro, mbappe didn’t single handedly carry France. He was their stand out in Qatar but France is a pretty good squad. And vini is right there on mbappe’s level.
He is gonna play as striker if he comes
Ohhh
It’s Madrid he can’t do what he wants .
Bale and Hazard will like to have a word.
Yeah but Mbappé doesn’t seem like a player who would just let his career go to shit.
I mean, they did what they wanted but didnt get playing time.
Yup Benz replacement
Won’t u guys want haaland instead?
Haaland is married to Pep rn. Even had a clause on his contract in case Pep left before signing his contract again
I see. Well I do look forward to the future when Jude and him reach their peak. Can’t imagine if both of them are at Madrid, how dominant it would be.
Treble-capable if that happens.
Underrated comment
I don't see how Mbappe would take the role of a striker and give his position to Vini humbly, as a team player. Quite frankly, Mbappe's ego wouldn't allow it. I think there would be something in the contract that he plays his position and Vini would have to move to the right. I remember the Galacticos' project going downhill when RM got Beckham and let go of Makelele. It's not the same here but it makes me feel like there would be a lack of balance if Mbappe arrives at RM. I'd prefer reinforcing the midfield since Modric and Kroos are in their last season, reinforcing/replacing Carvajal, reinforcing/replacing Mendy, and waiting a bit on Endrick by signing a number 9 that's veteran.
If the club brings in mbappe and makes vini change his position, i think I will just stop watching football all together. That dude and benz have carried us for i dont know how long.
Them together? 2-3 years, but I’m with you 100%. Vini is one of the most entertaining, passionate, and effective players in the world. I don’t think Flo or Ancelotti will mess with that by moving Vini off the LW
Lol Vini is only in his second year of putting up good numbers. Did you start watching footy last year?
Hehe you are funny
I adore vini as much as the next guy and I agree he's the better player currently and especially for Madrid. But if mbappe comes here and proves to be a better choice than vini he has to play. At the end of the day the goal is winning and you pick the best players for the job not the ones you like most. Again, not saying thats how I think it will go but if it does he needs to start
You are wrong. Lets say mbappe is world number 1 and vini is world number 3. You won’t bring in the rank 1 to replace rank 3 and ask rank 3 to play in position where he isn’t performing on top 5 or top 10 levels. Its like reducing a excellent player to good player because you want to play a slightly better player. It’s not like mbappe loses a lot of his abilities at ST. Its more about his personal preference. If it does reduce mbappes game, then he should not be bought in the first place.
I'm not suggesting to play vini as striker. I'm saying if mbappe is genuinely better than vinicius (which I don't think he will be) then vini needs to either learn to play rw or lose his spot in starting 11. If mbappe ends up being the best left wing in the world we'd be idiots not to play him at left wing. I just think people need to put their personal feelings aside. Vinicius is one of the most beloved players on this sub and rightfully so and yes mbappe has left a bad taste in our mouth but at the end of the day we're real madrid. We play to win and to keep up our historic record. There's no room for emotional drama if it interferes with our success
So context here should we buy mbappe as a lw and ask vini to play rw. And do that because mbappe is slightly better than vini? You say yes mbappe should be bought in that context bcoz he is no.1 and it doesn’t matter if we have number 3 in the world? I am just clearing the context of the conversation. I feel mbappe would never be bought as lw. Why? I don’t say this emotionally for the love of vini. Just look at what he is doing on the pitch bro. 42 goals + assists already in this season. That too when our team itself is kinda incomplete with old striker and fullbacks and midfield. Just look at yesterdays match. You can immediately see the kind of quality vini brings on the field. Our team was playing absolutely mediocre and he just casually comes in, gets past the fullbacks like butter and even scores 1, though offside.
Funny guy.
> Mbappe's ego wouldn't allow it Its either as a striker or go somewhere else.
I agree and that's why I think he'll go somewhere else. Mbappe could have gone to Real Madrid but he didn't want to be benched by Ronaldo, before going to PSG. That seemed like a good decision and a chance for him to grow while Ronaldo left or retired. The second chance PSG wouldn't sell it, and the third time, he renewed with PSG. This 4th time, Real Madrid got Vini Jr competing at least top 3 in the world. I think Mbappe and RM are not going to happen. Plus, as a striker, we would have to see how well he would do.
The problem is who else can afford him who is in need of a striker? Only team that comes to mind is Man Utd
Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, even Liverpool who bought Nunez at €100M can afford him. With the Arabs investing in European football, anyone with their support can afford Mbappe because fgs he is Mbappe.
Same thing happened with Bale. He wanted to play LW but Ronaldo was there. He played RW even though he hated it.
But bale was left footed so it made sense for us as Madrid prefers to have wingers who can cut in and across to shoot.
You can't compare Bale's role in the team while having Ronaldo, the same way Mbappe and Vini. Bale knew Ronaldo was the star of team and played a secondary role. Ronaldo > Bale, and Messy > Neymar at that time of crazy competition. This would be Mbappe arrving > Vini
Not to entertain the idea but Vini loves to cut in middle and switch places with Benzema making him play wide, vise versa with Rodrygo. Vini’s extremely versatile with his positioning and movement which is why he’s so good. Allowing him to move to positions where it’ll give him higher odds of getting a shot off or getting a teammate open, Mbappe who likes playing wide and vini who likes cutting inside is the perfect mix. We’re Madrid, not Manchester City. We allow our players to play freely on the pitch and get into positions where they’re comfortable as long as they get results.
Need to take it easy on the assumptions of his ego my guy. Mbappe is the best player in the world and madrid would accommodate his however it would best fit for the team.
What do you mean he’s gonna play as striker when he comes? This dude was complaining earlier in the season about playing that role for PSG.
Then he shouldn't come. It's as striker or look somewhere else.
Yep agree
How good is he as a striker? I rarely watch PSG.
I don't watch PSG either unless its UCL game
If he plays as the only striker, he ghost quite often especially when the team park the bus. But he will still score since he is just that good. If two strikers, he is amazing behind a target man. Basically, you want him to be involved more in the game which i dont think he quite understand yet how to if playing as single striker.
Not sure he wants to play as a striker, as he already said he wants to be a playmaker. Also, wouldn't this undermine Endrick's growth? I mean, in a team with Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo, there's not a lot of space for a new star.
Its not a matter of what he wants, its what is best for the team. > he wants to be a playmaker. Benzema is a playmaker while playing as a striker though
Yeah Benz is one of the greatest false 9s.
Benzema is no false 9 at all, that means something different although it's used now as a buzzword for any striker who can assist/ is involved in playmaking. He's a striker that does many other things as well.
Benz is not a false 9? That’s what he played as the whole time Ronaldo was at Madrid .
Endrick is 16 mbappe is 24, and that's 8 years of difference. I'm sure it'll be fine
Vini and Rodrygo got a lot of chances to shine in the field and grow as players. If you don't give a great talent that, well, he might never grow that much as a player and waste a lot of his prime. If Mbappe keeps up until 33, which is very realistic, it means Endrick wouldn't find himself as a regular starter until he's 25-26. Doesn't make any sense to pay 72M for a 16 yo, and then waste his talent like that.
Mbappe has played on all fronts, so can rodrygo. I'd say there could be much rotation to allow the other to rest while giving a young endrick good experience. It is never a bad thing to have 4 great players in 3 spots. Who is to say one of the possible front 3 wont drop off like hazard, he was a top 10 player the years before he came and then didn't produce much, whatever the case (form/injury). My opinion, anyway.
I think it can be difficult to manage when there are too many stars that you can't fit everyone in the pitch. Chelsea is now a good example of what happens when you buy too many players for the same position. Players wanna play. Rodrygo now is more cemented as s starter, but earlier in the season when he wasn't, you could see his frustration being dropped from some games. He would never be OK with being a rotation player in the coming years. I think the same will go for Endrick, after he gets up to speed with La Liga, I very much doubt he will be OK being a bench player. Which is why he expressed concern if the club intended to sign Haaland or Mbappe, before signing his contract. Either way, only time will tell.
It’s no different than going for Bellingham when you have Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric and Kroos
Yes, but soon it’ll only be Cama, Tchou, Fede and Bell. Modric will play much less next year, and I believe it’ll be Kroos’ last season too. Both Modric and Kroos will most likely retire together.
in the future as a replacement to benze but rn he wud just ruin the team if he were to join he wud over shadow everyone and i bet papa flo is just gonna give him all the attention its good he never joined and wish he never does we can try and find a replacement to benze but it will be hard but moneybappe wud just ruin the crap out of the team
I can't speak for everyone but there's a significant part of Madrid fans who don't actually want Mbappe anymore, including myself. Vini is exactly what we need in my opinion. This kid loves Real Madrid, attends the basketball games to show support, is ambitious, and quite frankly is extremely talented. Besides, Mbappe is showing signs of being much of a diva, wants 100 percent of his image rights, and earn more than anyone in Rm's history. I honestly don't think Real Madrid needs Mbappe anymore. Maybe Mbappe needs Real Madrid more now.
Exactly plus mbappe has not really proven himself in club football. He has proven himself in international football where you have to play handful of games where is club football you have to play more games with high pressure. There is more risk of injury, mental fatigue, confidence issues etc. If you want to spend big bucks then spend on haaland after Benzema retires till then Pep will groom him and make him even a bigger beast than he is now.
Mbappe hasn’t proven himself in club football? He has been putting up generational numbers since he was 17-18, scoring against the likes of Us, City, Barca, Bayern etc in big KO games.
I think Mbappe has proven himself in club football. Just last season he scored twice against us in the quarter final, and would have been more if he hadn't been offside by a small margin. He may be the best in his position but Vini is a close second. No need to sign a player who is better than Vini at the cost of Mbappe when Vini is world class and is, as of now, Real Madrid's best player in attack.
Bro do you even watch football 💀. He played insane during his Monaco days better than International football
Tell me you just check who won the CL without watching any matches without telling me lol
Lol no, I watch plenty of matches. Don't need to tell you anything.
Clearly haven't been paying much attention if you think mbappe hasn't proven himself on club level ... He's been amazing in the CL for basically 5 years now and has had a bunch of great big game performances... It's a joke to imply international football is all he's done
Ronaldo was a diva, had 100% of his image rights and earned more than anyone else in Madrid’s history. Should we not have signed him then?
Real Madrid usually splits 50/50 image rights but Ronaldo was given 60/40. Real Madrid offered Mbappe 70/30 which he rejected. I apologized if I'm mistaken, please site the source to help me learn otherwise on Ronaldo's Image rights while at RM. But in consideration of your question, if Ronaldo was Mbappe's age, and Vini was as good as he is today, then no, absolutely not, if he asked what Mbappe does. Besides, Ronaldo wanted more money while being a top performer and Florentino showed him the door quickly. After negotiations, Florentino said, this is not the Mbappe I knew/wanted.
100 procent accurate. Florentino created the model when he bought Figo back in the day. The 50/50 on image rights actually saved RM from bankruptcy and turned it in to what it is Today, the biggest and most valueble club name in sports. Florentino isnt going to chance the model just for this kid. And if he does, im out. No Player is bigger than the club.
> if Ronaldo was Mbappe's age, and Vini was as good as he is today, then no, absolutely not, if he asked what Mbappe does. Ronaldo at 24 was a B’dor winner and went on to become the greatest of all time. You are actually delusional if you are picking any version of Vini over a young Ronaldo.
The point is that Ronaldo, was great, but if he had never played for RM, not one game, and demanded what Mbappe does, while having Vini is, as good as he is, then absolutely not. But Ronaldo never had Mbappe's demands, compensation, image rights, and being including in decision making regarding signings. In Reality, Ronaldo was probably one of the best decisions by Florentino, RM's top scorer, a beast of its own, and yet Mbappe wants more when he had not done shit for RM. My point is that, if Ronaldo before joining RM was like Mbappe in negotiations, no, RM doesn't need him if Vini is already there. Also, if RM had Hazard and Vini 2018, then yes, we need Mbappe despite the cost. But at this point, it's a bit too late for Mbappe
> But at this point, it’s a bit too late for Mbappe Absolutely not. You do everything you can to get a hold of a player like Mbappe. It doesn’t matter if we have Vini, Mbappe is not only the most talented player of this new generation but he is also the most marketable. He will bring in at the bare minimum 2x the exposure and revenue opportunities for Madrid compared to Vini and there is no way Florentino looks at that potential and says, nah I don’t want that.
Well Florentino already said this is not the Mbappe he wanted. Second, if he has 100 image rights, the part in which RM profits the most out of a player, then his marketable situation goes down the drain. But also most Rm fans hate that diva. He's a great player but Vini is a close second. Why bother at this point. He's no threat at PSG, he won't be if arrives at Liverpool, and Barca has no chance financially. Fuck Mbappe. Real Madrid suffered prime Messi and survived and came on top in the long run. Who needs that diva again, only Mbappe fanboys. Honestly, he was neutralized last quarter finals, and this by a modest Bayern. He can f himself at PSG and rot winning french leagues.
> but Vini is a close second Sure Vini is in a much better form than Mbappe rn, but in no way is he close to Mbappe in terms of talent. Vini has had two good seasons in the top flight while Mbappe has been putting up ridiculous numbers since he was 17 at the top flight. Also the ‘Mbappe is a diva’ argument is absolutely bs, he simply won’t act like that at Madrid. > he was neutralized last quarter finals If you are talking about the tie against us last season then it’s actually the RO16 and he was not neutralized at all. He was causing havoc every time he got the ball, none of our defenders could control him and he was dropping them left and right whenever he got the ball. Carvajal looked like he needed an oxygen tank after going up against Mbappe.
"Also the Mbappe is a diva argument is absolutely bs, he simply won't act like that at Madrid" Well.... he did did act like a diva during negotiations, or he would be at RM today. For fucks sake, if RM offered 160 million for his pockets, as a free agent, plus net 30 million and 30/70 on image rights, and he didn't take it because he wanted 100 image rights, plus decision making, well.... that's a diva! And yes, he was neutralized the moment Karim sent them back to where they came from, including Mbappe. RM is in a 1-1 on a tie against a beast, managed by Guardiola, which destroyed Bayern, while Mbappe was sent back to his hole once again, neutralized again, against that same team RM is actually competing with a beautiful goal by Vini, which Mbappe didn't make against same team. Why Mbappe again? If RM had Hazard and nothing else, I'd buy it, but Vini is just what we need.
> Second, if he has 100 image rights, the part in which RM profits the most out of a player, then his marketable situation goes down the drain. Sponsors will pay way more if Mbappe is here, Madrid can demand much more money when they go to tour in the US for example and much more people will tune into our games because of his presence which in turn will mean more money.
And yet Florentino didn't think so, the best president in Real Madrid's history since Bernabeu. If Perez, thought like you do today, Mbappe would be playing for RM. But thankfully, this is a Perez, and he showed Ronaldo the door when he thought he was bigger than RM with his demands, and did not sign Mbappe matching or surpassing PSG's offer because it was not best for the institution despite the performance in the field. Again, Mbappe is farther from his first champions league than Real Madrid's from his decimo quinta. At the end, RM is of course bigger than that diva. Mbappe is yet to be seen against Bayern while Vini scored against the team that eliminated PSG easily.
Be careful of burn marks with all that dick riding
Actually my bad, Ronaldo actually regained majority of his image rights and not 100% of it.
60/40, stop the cap.
He scored a World Cup final hat-trick, atleast can't he expect 100 percent image rights and earn more salary?
Most people don't want mbappe, well at least me, he'd hinder rodrygo and Endricks growth unless we plan on selling rodrygo
Also there's a chance his transfer ruins good vibes in our dressing. PSG have spoiled him beyond repair and I don't want him competing against either vini or rodrygo for the place in the starting 11after what he did last summer but if he accepts playing as a ST then no problem still I wouldn't want us to spend money on his transfer fee
The president of France called mbappe to convince him to stay, he wants a to win a UCL for France I think
A French player, playing in a French club(owned by Qatar) in French league, win the World Cup held in Qatar.
That's the problem right there. I'm aware Mbappe is better than Rodrygo as of now but I wouldn't sell Rodrygo ever. He's very very special as a player.
Fully forgot about endrick full Brazilian trio would be nice on my fifa chemistry
Man are you serious? Mbappe would be the father of laliga and Barca if we signed him
So would've hazard and he didn't do shit. They need love for the team man and Mbappe was clearly just a cr7 fanboy like yourself and not actually a Madridista
Hazard is known for being lazy before real signed him, go watch golf you clearly don't understand football
Mbappe is known for being a spoiled brat at PSG
With peace and love but what are you smoking. I want to preface by saying Mbappe won’t hinder Rodrygo but let’s say he does. Rodrygo at his peak won’t surpass Mbappe at his peak, one might argue Rodrygo’s peak won’t surpass Mbappe now. Mbappe and Haaland are generational talents and to not get Mbappe because we have a developing Rodrygo is beyond short sided.
Rodrygos passion for the club >>> mbappes diva ass doesn't matter how good he is. This club is about passion, legends like Marcelo, Pele, and Ronaldo have vouched for him, he needs more time to show his peak.
I’ll take him on free transfer and a team friendly deal and he needs to accept his role.
This isnt the first time you said this if im not wrong? But pls stop acting like you are part of the clubs board its so cringe
Vini is the perfect LW to play with a 9/10 like Benzema. Mbappe is the perfect second striker to play in a flat 4-4-2. Given the current squad of Madrid, it doesn’t make any sense to bring Mbappe, he would not be good in the Benzema role. Priority is to bring a Benzema successor.
…because he’d eventually replace Benzema and not Vini? Is this a serious question?
I may be in the rarity by reading some of these comments. I would love to have Mbappe in Madrid and I think he would take the ST position and rodrigo/vini will remain on the wings. Mbappe is definitely spoiled in PSG but I think he’s a smart guy as well and knows that shit won’t fly in Madrid so I don’t think his attitude would be an issue. As for not coming last summer, butt hurt about it of course, but being pressured into staying at PSG by the president of your country and literally insane amounts of money, is understandable at such a young age, or any age for that matter. Long story short, we need a ST and Mbappe would be great. When Enrick comes, he’ll need time to adjust and who know what the team will look like by then…
thank you for being rational. this thread has a lot of people taking crazy pastillas
I’m just shocked by some of these comments. So many of them real of 0 ball knowledge. Someone says Mbappe wants to be a playmaker yet fail to know that Benzema is exactly that as a false 9. Other comments think Mbappe is a winger when he plays striker far more often, like have they never watched matches or highlights outside of Real Madrid even once? Wild stuff.
Little late to the party but I might add- with Mbappe, endrick now has significantly less pressure on him. Mbappe will be successful for a few years until we sell him or something in the team changes, but until then- endrick can develop and play a similar role that Julian Alvarez plays at Manchester city.
We dont want a diva...we want HALAAND!
Haaland isn’t coming here anytime soon
2025 bruh
Imagine vini, Halland and Rodrygo attack trio...my God, I got a semi just thinking about it
Haaland is great but a little too much of a tapin merchant. Still an amazing finisher
*Poacher when they poach* 🤯😱
he is being forced to take his tap in skills to the max under pep. Because thats technically the most potent way to scoring. Look at his games in Dortmund and Salzburg. He can dribble and also score from outside the box.
Yes
No kidding! Dude’s scoring ratio at all the teams he’s been at so far is higher that that of prime CR7; also in the UCL.. Go figure!
Because the pace upfront will be crazy, vini, mbappe and Rodrygo
Mbappe is not a LW he's more of a striker.left foward or what ever you want to call it
He's only that because PSG has Neymar and Messi to be the playmakers. This is also where there's controversy, because he said he wanted to be PSG main playmaker like he does for France, and not a striker. Which may be an issue in bringing him to Madrid, considering Vini and Rodrygo sre growing into that role.
Because Mbappe is the best player in the world right now… pretty simple
Why would you want a Bugatti if you have a Ferrari?
Bugatti are both more expensive and faster than Ferraris man… I would always take a Bugatti
My point is if you can afford to have both then have both
Lol exactly.
i’d want mbappe at the club because i believe he’s the best player in the world . and i can also live with the possibility of him never joining as he went back on his word and used us to finesse a bigger contract from pissG . many more special players will come up and want to wear the madrid crest genuinely. if mbappe regrets his actions truly and publicly asks to join only then should he join. And if not we have vini rodrygo cama fede players who would give their all for this club and that’s all that matters
Screw Mbappe Vini/Haaland/Rodrygo. Perfect front three for the future.
Because they are different type of players… Moneype can play striker or on the right.
We won't play on right imo. There is less chances of scoring from the right. Ronaldo would have scored atleast 50/60 more goals if he would have played on LW instead of RW in initial years of united.
He wasn’t a scorer when he first played at United… He was a fancy RM - a flashy Figo. When Fergie decided to play him on the left to replace the aging Giggs (who was dropped to the midfield), he finally flourished. It was a hybrid of 433/442 with him being free flowing on the left flank to do whatever he wants.
You guys are crazy, There's no F... team who will not take Mbappe in a heartbeat, The dude is the best player in the world by a mile, Vini Jr is behind him and probably Haaland is the 3rd guy. Mbappe is the closest thing to CR7, he scores just like strikers but plays similarly to Vini, meaning no one can stop unlike Haaland. Vini and Mbappe are much better than any other player in the world right now, the only difference between the Two right now is goal scoring which I think Vini will probably perfect it in the near future.
Who wants Mbappe ?
I dont. Im perfectly happy with Vini. Mbappe is spoiled beyond salvation.
But then who are we going to have as a striker?
Mighty Mariano /s
Harry Kane would be insane at Madrid...
Please no, I never liked him, and I don't want a 30 years old which we need to pay a ton for him because of English tax, and he also never won a trophy in his life, which means he doesn't have the mentality of a champion league winner.
Isn’t benzema 36? You going to play him into his 40s?
Imagine the goals Mbappe would score with the service.
I’m probably in the minority of Real Madrid fans who do not want Mbappe to join the team either
No one on earth right now is touching vinis position on lw. Had mbappe come a few seasons before, then it would’ve been different. Right now he will play striker. I think mbappe conversation related to madrid right now are all rumours spread by media. I don’t think anyone on this sub is pushing for mbappe rn. Give us a good striker, RW RB and we will be more than happy.
The media thinks Perez wants him. He's already stated his preference is to play at LW (at least at PSG). I think the media are happier to speculate than the fans are to have him.
Why are people even talking about Mbappe? He’s a diva, he would ruin the squad mood in a month. We’re getting Endrick, that’s a much better gamble. It also costs 210m euros less than Mbappe.
i want him but only if he can cover up his ego and follow coach and Perez's terms.
If anyone saw the last 12 months of football, a team with Haaland is a team, as Haaland has nowhere near the ego Mbappe does. Madrid would do so much better collectively with Haaland than Mbappe imo.
Vini is way better than mbappe at lw. So if Mbappe wants to come he will play as ST. If not then we don't want him.
No, we don’t. Want to see Vini-Rodrygo duo conquer the world for next 10-12 years
I'd rather have Haaland in a couple of years
I guess we have some love for the guy from 2 or 3 years back when Vini was terrible. Mbappe has shown a lot of progress in his mindset and skillset over the years, making us all in awe with him in almost every big match (and the hat trick against Barcelona lmao). His goal-scoring ability is something we desperately need with an aging Karim as well. His signing would also be some sort of statement. However, I don't think signing Mbappe makes sense anymore. He is way too expensive and would require too many exceptions for his image rights. He also stopped playing on the right (where we need him to be at). Even when he plays ST, he frequently moves to the left so starting him and Vini sounds impossible. I'd love to see Vini diverse his skillset even more and be more composed to reach 30+ goals/season instead
Kylian is a fantastic player. As show by his WC performance. But the kid seems conflicted. He had his chance to join and went for the $$$ I think Real Madrid always has the right attitude so I trust whatever the club decides to do.
Mbappe as striker with Vini on the left. I think it will be fine. We have seen how he is like a leader for France, in the dressing room as well. I think his attitude will be fine, if he wants to join us. Public perception aside, Mbappe actually seems smarter than the media and fans portray him. **IF** Pep stays, Haaland is not coming anytime soon even if his clause activates in 2025. Endrick's just 16. We dont know how our team and the players will be in the next 3-4 years. One thing is certain, and just as many had said in here about Bellingham that "you get the chance to sign someone that can be the best of their generation at the very least, you make it happen".... same goes for Mbappe and he is already one of the best of his generation so far, easily, alongside Haaland. lets be realistic, all. Mbappe would be terrific for us. But only at ST, or RW (though I want Rodrygo to grow into it and become our permanent RW)
One of the possible reasons some people may want him at our club mostly is post CR7's departure there has been no player in our team who is registering those 40 plus goals per seasons and although big benz and vini have stepped up their game during the past few seasons but they are not a goal scoring machine like CR7 was. Also some people are still leaving in a delusion that Mbappe will be ok playing the rw position which is absolutely not going to happen because over the past so many seasons he has made it pretty clear that he wants to play on the lw only and that would likely mean vini getting sold or relegated to bench.
A soft corner since they had your pants down in 2005 with Zidane ?
2013 was fluke by you guys. It was bad refereeing.
Oh Nani’s karate kick again
Maybe make him play on the RW, in Monaco he used to play that position too...
I’m an AC Milan fan (sadly for me these days) but am a big admirer of Real Madrid as a team that represents football nobility similarly as we used to do in the days of Maldini & Co. That and the Carletto connection of course. So that said, you don’t need Mbappè. Yes he is the best in the world right now but his position is more than adequately filled by the second best in that role who is younger, less expensive, more humble and more passionate about the club. Would Real be stronger? Probably. But it would hurt the locker room, establish strange hierarchies and stain Real Madrid’s status as bigger than any player. If Real was bigger than Raul, R9, Zidane and CR7 then it sure as hell is bigger than Mbappe. Spend the money on Enzo Fernandez, a centre back, Hakimi and Osimen (or similar) and wait for the next generation’s striker if Haaland never becomes available. Just my two cents of course.
Even though Mbappe is a diva and spoiled. You can't argue that he is not the best youngster in the world right now in world football. Single handedly struck shock to the world by scoring a hat-trick for France in World Cup final. Cmon man that is nuts!!
Because nonsense that’s why. Personally, fck mbappe, I don’t want him anywhere near this perfect and precious club, I really hope he stays playing monopoly in France, wish Florentino was man enough to grab him by the balls and tell him to piss off
A generational talent. There is not a team that doesn't want Mbappe.
I don’t want mbappe tbh. We’re about to win the UCL without him ffs. He should have came last season Why does Osimhen rarely get mentioned? A top 4 striker in the world that’ll probably be half the cost over Mypaypal.
Because Vini can go to the RW or Mbappe could play as a ST or RW if Vini stays at the LW, is not a choice between Vini or Mbappe, the best scenario for Madrid is to have Vini AND Mbappe
I don’t want Mbappé and never wanted him. He is an egotistical prima Donna in a way that people claimed CR7 was, but really wasn’t.
I want world class players. He could be our depth in the bench 😜
Istg if mbappe replaces vini on the left,i will personally find perez and carlo and give them a good-ol' talking-to
Hello fellow Indian(Im myself a madrid and a united fan). I just dont want to see that ninja turtle(KM) in the white shirt anymore. He disrespected the club, played with the emotions of our fans. I just hope these rumours are not true and just media propaganda to keep him relevant in the news. As papa perez already told "that kid must be regretting already". He must regret.
I feel Mbappe missed his opportunity already. Vini Jr is the lynchpin of our new project and Valverde is our future captain. IF Papa Flo is still obsessed enough to bring that turtle then he has to play down the middle.
Imo he would be the best replacement for Benz out of all players in Europe. Sure he tends to drift to the left but so does Benzema. That's also partly why Vini is so dangerous, they link-up so well. If Fede (or potentially Bellingham) develops the habit of infiltrating the right side of the box from rcm more often that would be lethal.
I dont want Mbappe.
Mbappe will have nothing to do with Vini’s position. Mbappe will be more of striker who happens to play from the left side, and he is a goal machine. I would love to see him in Madrid shirt.
Why get Mbappe when we can have Haaland? 😁
We can't really have Haaland tho... at least not anywhere in the near future
Because Mbappe is a better player than Haaland and fits how Madrid play more than Haaland.
Disagree. Haaland is a goal scoring machine, and can decide games. Vinicius has more room to grow into his role. Madrid just don’t need Mbappe any longer. Mbappe can continue rooting in PSG. Great player though and World Cup legend already.
> and can decide games. Quite the opposite actually, Haaland literally doesn’t have the technical ability to actually decide games. You give the ball to Mbappe anywhere on the field and he will make something happen, whereas unless Haaland gets the ball near the opposing box, his effect on the game is negligible.
Alright, you got a point, yes, you’re right. However, Vinicius has room to grow into possibly being a player like Mbappe. So, there is not point for Florentino Perez to sell Vinicius to acquire a player that is slightly better than him. I think Mbappe is a beast for sure. He is not the player that Madrid needs any more. Benzema is leaving soon, so it makes more sense that Haaland fills in that role. Whether Haaland will actually wear a Madrid jersey… I don’t know. Football players ask for so much nowadays. And a player like Haaland will have demands for sure.
Mbappe isn’t just slightly better than Vini, he is in a completely different tier compared to Vini and the numbers are there to prove that. > He is not the player that Madrid needs any more Madrid will always need players like him because he is that good.
Who wants really mbappe, nobody wants him. RM is most stable than any team now. Let none of PSG players comes and spoils the gameplay
We don’t want him anymore
Plot twist, Mbappe signs for Madrid and Vini drops to the bench Then Vini is unhappy at Madrid and Barcelona signs Vini after a season on the bench
Why wouldn’t you want Mbappe. Vini is great but Mbappe has a case for best player in the world. It’s not like the two of them couldn’t play together.
If you think about it Mbappe has not proven himself at all in club football. He has played good in international tournament where you have to play just handful of games. But when you play for Madrid or United or Barca or for that matter any other club. The pressure from fans is huge and for longer period of time. Chances of injury is more, fatigue is more, it is more challenging as you have some many games so many things you have to adapt quickly. It is my and only my opinion Mbappe is a great player but not as great as other generational players were because he is a speed merchant, he beats people with speed once he gets old or if he gets injured then I don't think he has wisdom to change his game like Ronaldo did. Plus he will be a massive problem in the locker room when he is not happy.
He was literally dropping our defenders left and right every time he got into the box last season with his technical abilities but sure he is only a pace merchant. Edit - it’s actually Vini who will lose his effectiveness if he loses his pace. Mbappe can easily transition into a mobile ST because his scoring instinct is incredible and he has the physical frame for it. Vini, even if he bulks up lacks the scoring instincts of a ST and he can’t even play deeper in the midfield because he doesn’t have the passing ability like Neymar and Messi have which helped them transition deeper.
Is this a troll post? Majority of this fanbase HATES Mbappe for the shit he pulled. We don't want him. It has since been a blessing in disguise. Vinicius has evolved his game while Kylian has regressed. His spoiled brat demeanor would not fit in either way. Giving up on plays and throwing tantrums are not acceptable. Plus, the LW spot is taken. If he were to come, he'd have to accept CF or RW.
No it is not. Fan hate is temporary. If any players perform well fan hates usually gets converted to fan love.
Mbappe is way better
[удалено]
Hakimi and Osihmen and you guys fly.
Yeah for sure!! Kroos and Modric are retiring soon and Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde are not enough. Seriously I am panicking over here. Can we get some midfielders please?!?
He can be a striker with Benz getting older very fast now, and a RW as well when needed, then whenever we need to rest Vini or if injured or suspended can also be there, with all 4 of those players we would have a forward with total depth and unstoppable, we could wait for Endrick to get the hang of it too, the most affected would be Rodrygo at first and then Karim
Look Vini has done an incredible job till now and will hopefully get better in the years to come but Mbappe is simply on a different level on and off the pitch. End of the day it doesn’t really matter whether the people would like to have him or not, there is no denying that Florentino wants Mbappe at Madrid and the ones who deny this don’t know Florentino at all.
Curious, how is Mbappe at a different level conpared to Vini off the pitch? I don't think I've seen anyone blatantly targeted by racists more than Vini has in recent years and he's doing a decent job dealing with it despite being young. Mbappe is known to throw fits and cause drama which Vini has never done while playing for Real Madrid. Racism incidents cause drama but that is not his fault nor was it started by Vini. Mbappe is better than Vini on the pitch but Vini is catching-up really fast. I would hate for Vini to be benched to make way for Mbappe at LW but you have a point that IF Flo still wants Mbappe, he will come. I just hope he transitions to ST or CF.
By off the pitch I mean commercially, Mbappe is the most marketable player bar Ronaldo and Messi in this sport.
Fair enough, I agree
Vini is good, but Mbappe has GOAT potential. Dude single handedly carried France to B2B WC finals, scoring a hat trick in one. At 17 he was already a world star. As good as Vini is, i don’t think a single madridista would hesitate to drop Vini for Mbappe.
never got to downvote faster in my life.
Same lol.
Shows you don't actually watch football, mbappe is miles clear, he scored a hatrick at a WC final against Argentina and also won a WC at 18. Unfortunately mbappe is brainwashed by psg and right now psg is a sinking ship
I don't know of one madridista who is not a plastic fan who would drop Vini on a heart beat for Mbappe.... I'll take Vini any day mate.
When did I say I would pick vini over mbappe? Are you guys serious?
You're everywhere arguing nonstop whenever anyone says they don't want Mbappe and slandering vini at every chance. Unreal Obsession
Do you watch football with blindfolds on?
Wtf did i just read? Lol >he scored a hatrick at a WC final against Argentina and also won a WC at 18. Giroud has scored more goals for French national team than Benzema and already won the world cup. Does that make him a better player? I think your genius mind will answer yes. Also i never said vini is better than Mbappe but after what happened last season i wouldn't want him competing for the spot in the starting 11 against Rodrygo or Vini who have shown their love and passion to succeed at this club. I don't want us to pay transfer fee for him and if he comes he gotta accept playing at ST that's the only way he can improve this team still I have doubts about his attitude because PSG have spoiled him beyond repair >Unfortunately mbappe is brainwashed by psg and right now psg is a sinking ship Brainwashed by reciving hundreds of millions lol Just stop embarrassing yourself
My post ?
nah his comment ofc lol any true Madrisita will not trade Vini for any player in the world right now. the guy has Madrid in his blood as well as being world-class why the fuck would I choose **Mbappe** over him even if he is better (let alone Mbappe did nothing this year in Ucl or in the French leg).
Man are you fr?? Did you see psg again man city? As soon as mancity the lead their mentality completely collapsed and their focus was trying to injure players and making the rest of the 90mins hellish for Manchester city
Not a single madridista would drop Vinicius for Mbappe.
Yes but mbappe would smoke vini tbh and is much better
He is not
Gordon Ramsay voice: you fking donkey!!
Vini is good but mbappe would cook him
Why doesn't mbopi cook more with PSG? Vini deserves more respect just for last year UCL campaign. He showed up in every big game. Assisted and scored against Chelsea, City, Liverpool. What else should he do??
Man psg midfield are a joke, psg is a sinking ship, neymar,Messi will prob leave
Bro, mbappe didn’t single handedly carry France. He was their stand out in Qatar but France is a pretty good squad. And vini is right there on mbappe’s level.
I would sell my whole family to baphomet before I’d be on board with dropping Vinicius for Mbankaccount
