As the June transfer window approaches, many journalists are keen to find out what players will leave or come to clubs like Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain. And both clubs have one player in common – Kylian Mbappe. The Parisians’ forward, a boyhood fan of the Spanish club, was on the verge of a mega-transfer last season but suddenly changed his mind and signed a three-year deal. But, the clause in his contract revealed it was effectively a two-year deal with an option for a third one, which can be activated only by the player. And there were rumours that Mbappe is not happy with the current PSG project and won’t commit long-term, but Real is not thinking about the Frenchman at all because they have Vinicius Jr.Real Madrid are clear, they believe in Vinícius Jr. more than Mbappé and believe that he’s right now the better performer. 🇧🇷🇫🇷 [MARCA] #RMFC pic.twitter.com/EjBtYQxnws— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) May 14, 2023 According to Spanish Marca, the Royal club is thrilled with the Brazilian and both coach Carlo Ancelotti and president Florentino Perez think he overachieved in his career so far. More so, they believe that Vinicius is currently playing better than Mbappe and don’t have him in their plans for the 2023/24 season. If we look at the statistic, it is clear that the Frenchman is enjoying a better campaign so far with 38 goals (compared to Vini’s 23) in 10 games less played than the Brazilian (51/40), but the Real staff is also looking at the assists, the quality of the opponents against whom the player scored and also the important matches in which he was the difference maker. And Vinicius came as a winner. So, in 2023, Real will buy Jude Bellingham and thus finish revamp of their midfield for years to come, while in attack, they will rely on the Brazilian and the aged Karim Benzema, who Rodrygo and Valverde will support.Real Madrid ascend to second place thanks to AsensioBut things could change in 2024 amid certain conditions. Mbappe wants to be at the centre of the PSG project, and the club is ready to build the team around him, especially since he will be the first star with the departure of Lionel Messi in June. He will soon have to inform Qatari owners if he wants to use his contract clause and stay until 2025. Otherwise, he could be a free agent in January 2024. Real Madrid remains interested in the player long-term, but they have no intention of giving a single penny to PSG anymore, so the only option for the Frenchman will be to leave the club in 2024 for free and sign for the Spanish giants. But until then, Vinicius is their man.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 34FridayMallorca – Cadiz 1-0 (1-0)/Maffeo 16/Saturday Sociedad – Girona 2-2 (0-0)/Oyarzabal 5 pen, Silva 24 – Couto 37, Stuani 45+3/Osasuna – Almeria 3-1 (0-0)/Budimir 46, Ezzalzouli 51, Gomez 81 – Lazaro 90+2/Villareal – Ath.Bilbao 5-1 ()/Baena 24, 90, Jackson 37, 50, Paredes 61 – Sancet 45+3 pen/Real Madrid – Getafe 1-0 (0-0)/Asensio 70/Sunday 15.00: (2.40) Celta (3.35) Valencia (3.35)17.15: (9.00) Elche (5.00) Atl.Madrid (1.43)19.30: (2.40) Valladolid (3.50) Sevilla (3.20)22.00: (5.30) Espanyol (3.60) Barcelona (1.73)Monday 22.00: (1.99) Betis (3.50) Rayo Vallecano (4.40)***odds are subject to change***
