An insight into a potentially detrimental knock-on effect of La Liga giants Real Madrid landing Kylian Mbappé this summer has been provided late this evening.
The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, who point towards a number of high-profile figures in Spain’s capital being opposed to the Frenchman’s arrival.
In the boardroom, a significant contingent are of the opinion that the ship has long sailed when it comes to Mbappé, adamant that the frontman’s decision to reject them at the last minute back in 2022 was an unforgivable one.
And the unrest does not end there.
Sport also highlight one leading member of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad as being ‘at the helm’ of a small group who are entirely opposed to Mbappé being brought in.
The player in question? Vinícius Jr.
Fully aware that his spot in the starting XI would come under threat owing to the competition posed by the PSG standout, wide-man Vinícius is also concerned by the prospect of Mbappé ‘stealing the spotlight’ at the club.
It is suggested that the Brazilian has already found it difficult to ‘digest’ the emergence of Jude Bellingham as the new star of the show in Madrid, with the prospective arrival of another of world football’s finest talents only likely to stir up further unrest moving forward.
