Kylian Mbappé will face stiff competition at Real Madrid next season, with the club planning to give young forward Endrick plenty of playing time.
Mbappé will not be the same player he was at PSG. There will be no team built around him and no special treatment. The French striker arrives in Madrid as a star, but not an unmovable one.
Real Madrid have also made a big bet on Endrick. Signed last summer, the rising Brazilian star will get playing time and will be in direct competition with Mbappé. “The directors don’t want a situation similar to Güler’s. They will give him a lot of minutes in his first season,” said Marca journalist Carlos Carpio in a Twitch live stream.
With Vinicius Jr., but also Rodrygo, as well as Bellingham and Josélu, Real Madrid will be well-armed in attack.** And Kylian Mbappé won’t be able to just walk onto the pitch this time…
This means that Mbappé will have to earn his place in the team just like any other player. He will have to perform at his best in order to keep his spot in the starting lineup. This could be a good thing for Mbappé, as it will push him to keep improving.
It will also be interesting to see how Mbappé and Endrick develop their partnership on the pitch. The two young forwards could form a deadly duo for years to come.
