Mbappe set to join Madrid in the summerPerez wants Mbappe to fit with existing trioAncelotti has three strategies in mindGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
It has been reported that with the arrival of Mbappe to the side, Los Blancos president, Florentino Perez wants the Frenchman to play alongside the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, instead of replacing one of them. As per Football Espana, the onus has fallen upon Carlo Ancelotti, who has three possible variations going forward.
The first possible answer to the question has been playing with a 4-3-3 formation where Mbappe would be the central figure with the two Brazilians on the wings and Bellingham dropping into a three-man midfield.

The first of the other two options would have the team shift into a system that they used earlier this season where Bellingham played the number 10 role with the two Brazilians playing more centrally upfront. This time, Mabppe would simply slot into the place of Rodrygo allowing Ancelotti to form a two-man strike partnership of Vinicius and Mbappe.
The final idea suggests that Bellingham would play on the left wing with Vinicius on the right and Mbappe through the middle.

The French star is on the verge of completing a move to the Spanish capital after a multi-year saga that saw him flirt with Los Blancos but never actually move from Paris Saint-Germain. It has been reported that Mbappe will be paid a signing-on bonus of between €120-€150 million (£103m-£128m/$130m-$162m).
WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE AND REAL MADRID?
The Frenchman will likely join the club in the summer after his contract with PSG expires. For now, the two sides will stay focused on the missions at hand as Real Madrid look to secure at least a league title this year, while Mbappe will be keen to win a Champions League with the Parisians in his last season.
