Real Madrid considers selling its first star for Mbappe

Spanish media reports have revealed a surprising development regarding the potential departure of one of Real Madrid’s key players during the summer transfer window of 2025. The club is currently preparing for their upcoming La Liga match against Leganés on November 24, 2024, as they sit in second place, six points behind Barcelona, though they still have a game in hand against Valencia.

In a surprising turn, *Marca* reports that Real Madrid is considering selling Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is reportedly prioritizing the signing of Kylian Mbappé over retaining Vinícius, as Real Madrid looks to build its future sporting plans around the French star.

According to *Marca*, club president Florentino Pérez believes that it would be difficult for both Mbappé and Vinícius to play in the same starting lineup, as they both typically occupy the left-wing position. This issue has allegedly contributed to Mbappé’s struggles to perform, as he has been forced to adapt to a less natural role.

The report also suggests that Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is opposed to this idea. Ancelotti prefers Vinícius Júnior, believing he fits better with the team’s needs and has been against signing Mbappé from the outset.

In conclusion, *Marca* hints at a potential internal conflict between the two players, suggesting that only one may remain part of Real Madrid’s long-term plans.
