The transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid is one of the most resonant in world football in recent years, as well as one of the most cautiously handled. It is already assumed that he will leave PSG, although the officialization does not come to avoid the reaction of the ultras and concentrate on the Champions League semi-final match against Borussia Dortmund.
Despite the lack of an official announcement, little by little the new version of the Galacticos that the team led by Carlo Ancelotti will have is being designed. In that sense, the Frenchman has said that he would like to play as a center forward, in a position that his compatriot Karim Benzema knew how to occupy very well.

According to those close to Mbappé cited by the Spanish newspaper AS, the 25-year-old footballer is attracted by the challenge of being the reference within the area. In this way, he can leave the left profile, his favorite, to Vinicius and even occasionally to Rodrygo, who against Manchester City in the Champions League showed that he can be lethal on that wing.
“Kylian knows that being in Madrid it will be much easier for him to win the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or. And if he also wins the Golden Boot, all the better for him. Playing as a nine for Real Madrid you can get excited about scoring goals,” they told the Spanish media from the Frenchman’s entourage.
