Real Madrid superstar will remain ‘untouchable’ in the team even if Mbappe joins
Over the past couple of seasons, Vinicius Jr has established himself as one of the most important players for Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old speedster has been crucial to the success that Los Merengues have enjoyed in Carlo Ancelotti’s second tenure as the manager. Now, with Karim Benzema departing, there will be greater responsibility on his young shoulders, which he is ready to take up.
There will also be a bigger spotlight on the former Flamengo wonderkid and it goes without saying that everything he does will be subjected to greater scrutiny.
At the same time, Real Madrid are pursuing Kylian Mbappe this summer to fill the void left by Benzema’s sudden departure.
The 24-year-old French superstar wants to join the Spanish capital club, but is unwilling to leave PSG this summer as it would mean him sacrificing a big bonus payment. As such, he is inclining towards a free transfer exit next year, when his contract expires.
Despite that, though, AS is reporting that Real Madrid believe that Mbappe will end up arriving at the club before the transfer window closes.
The report goes on to add that even if Mbappe joins the Merengues, Vinicius will remain an ‘untouchable’ in the team and his place on the left flank will not be given to the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.
It is no secret that Mbappe prefers playing on the left wing, but that position is occupied and owned by Vinicius at the moment. And that is something that will not change to accommodate the PSG superstar if he does indeed make the jump to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid staff is convinced that Mbappe will continue to be great playing as a centre-forward and succeeding in the position, thanks to goalscoring capabilities and blistering pace.
Even then, they will speak to the Frenchman and inform him that Vinicius has made the left-wing spot his own through his performances and quality.
What bodes well for Real Madrid, as per the report, is that Mbappe shares a good personal equation with Vinicius as well as Rodrygo Goes and Carlo Ancelotti will have a fearsome attacking unit at his disposal if the club are able to land the PSG superstar.

Real Madrid very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.
