Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé is said to be ready to play as a centre-forward when he joins Real Madrid in the summer.
Real Madrid is creating favorable conditions for Mbappe when he moves to the club on a free transfer. His contract with PSG will expire after this season. However, when he arrives at the Bernabeu, it seems he will have to adjust his playing style a bit. According to Spanish newspaper AS , the 2018 World Cup champion has agreed to play as number 9, instead of playing on the left wing as usual. At Real, Vinicius Jr, and sometimes Rodrygo, have taken on this role very successfully.

Mbappe is one of the best players in the world. Just this season, he scored 41 goals in 42 matches, despite being put on the bench by coach Luis Enrique many times. Currently, Mbappe has not won the Champions League championship or the Golden Ball. Therefore, moving to Madrid could help him achieve both of these goals. On the contrary, Mbappe will help Los Blancos become a comprehensive ‘winning machine’.
DO YOU KNOW?
According to AS , Mbappe requested confidentiality from Madrid to prevent crazy PSG fans from making his life difficult – something Neymar had to endure in his final months in France. It is expected that Real Madrid will only make an official announcement about the Mbappe deal in early July.
