Spanish press reports have revealed a major surprise regarding the potential departure of one of Real Madrid’s star players during the upcoming summer transfer window in 2025.
Real Madrid is preparing to face Leganés on Sunday evening, November 24, 2024, in the fourteenth round of La Liga.
Currently, Real Madrid is in second place in the standings with 27 points, 6 points behind rivals Barcelona, though they have a postponed match against Valencia.
In a shocking turn of events, the Spanish newspaper “Marca” has reported that Real Madrid’s management is considering the possibility of parting ways with Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior during the upcoming summer transfer window in 2025.
The report added that the club is prioritizing the signing of Kylian Mbappé over Vinícius Júnior, as Real Madrid plans its new sporting project around Mbappé rather than focusing on the Brazilian forward.
According to “Marca”, club president Florentino Pérez believes that it would be difficult for both players to coexist in the same starting lineup, as they both primarily play on the left side of the attack. This positioning issue has reportedly contributed to Mbappé’s underwhelming performances, as he has been forced to adapt to a less natural role on the field.
The newspaper also mentioned that the primary opponent to this idea within the club is head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who believes that Vinícius Júnior is more suited to Real Madrid’s needs than Mbappé. Ancelotti has also been opposed to the idea of signing the French star from the beginning.
In conclusion, “Marca” suggests that a hidden conflict may be brewing between Mbappé and Vinícius, with the possibility that only one of them will emerge as the victor in the battle for a place in Real Madrid’s future plans.
