The drama around Kylian Mbappe‘s future has taken another intriguing twist. Recent reports suggest that Real Madrid remains keen on securing the services of the 24-year-old French sensation, and believes that Mbappe will wear the iconic white jersey. However, a famous French soccer analyst and journalist has made a shocking claim, saying that Real Madrid doesn’t need Mbappe at the Bernabeu.

While the possibility of Mbappe donning the legendary Real Madrid jersey is a thrilling prospect for fans, a surprising twist in this tale comes from an unexpected source.

Real Madrid doesn’t need Kylian Mbappe, claims analyst

Jose Manuel Otero, a distinguished Real Madrid board member, has expressed his firm belief that Kylian Mbappe will be a Madridista by 2024. This revelation ignited further debates and discussions about the potential transfer. But, the narrative takes a sudden turn, as a well-known French soccer analyst and journalist Daniel Riolo, recently stirred the pot. Speaking on the After Foot RMC talk show, he made a shocking claim: “If I were the manager of Real Madrid, I would not pursue Mbappe because I have Vinicius.”

This is a bold claim, given that Kylian Mbappe is one of the best strikers in the world. However, the analyst might have a point. Vinicius Junior, the 23-year-old Brazilian sensation, has been gradually evolving into a formidable force for Real Madrid. With his electrifying pace and flair on the left wing, he is already a fan favorite at the Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Jr.’s performance, especially in the 2021-22 season, showcased his potential to become one of the world’s top talents.

The debate ignited by Riolo’s statement questions if Real Madrid truly needs another superstar addition when they already have a young and promising talent within their ranks. It revolves around the fact that Vinicius’ continued growth and development at Real Madrid, make the pursuit of Mbappe redundant.

Will Real Madrid sign Mbappe in the future?

Although Real Madrid is very happy with Vinicius’ progress and believes in his future at the club, they’ll still proceed with Kylian Mbappe’s signing. The club is reportedly willing to take a wait-and-watch approach, but they are confident that they will eventually sign the player. The main reason would be to fill the attacking void left by club legend Karim Benzema after he left to join Saudi side Al-Ittihad ahead of this season.

However, the fact that Real Madrid has Vinicius Junior gives them a very good option in attack. Even if they don’t sign Mbappe, they’ll still be a very strong team. The ensuing debate over Riolo’s surprising claim highlights the dilemma facing the Spanish giants: do they go all-in for one of the world’s most coveted talents, or do they continue nurturing their homegrown star-in-the-making, Vinicius?

Whether Real Madrid ultimately secures Kylian Mbappe’s services or chooses to rely on Vinicius Junior’s continued development, the world of soccer is poised for an exciting future.
