According to Crickex Sign Up analysts, negotiations between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain over Kylian Mbappé are heating up, and a final decision on his future is expected soon. However, before that chapter closes, Real Madrid must first address a critical issue — one that many fans have been worrying about. If Mbappé joins the squad, there will be inevitable friction, especially on the left wing, where Vinícius Jr. currently reigns supreme. With both stars excelling in that position, neither will back down easily given their stature.

Crickex Sign Up sources have noted that Real Madrid has already made their stance clear: Vinícius is the new face of the club. While Mbappé may still arrive, it is likely he will be placed in the No. 9 role, a position where Madrid currently lacks depth. The problem? Mbappé has publicly admitted during his time with the national team that he does not enjoy playing as a central striker. His mother, who is involved in contract negotiations, has also reportedly requested he be positioned on the wing. Still, Real Madrid will not disrupt their internal balance for any player — no matter how big the name. As the saying goes, “The more skills you have, the fewer favors you need to ask for.” In this case, Vinícius’s contributions make him untouchable. He is viewed as the undisputed core of the team’s future.

Mbappé may come to compete, but he won’t walk in and simply push Vinícius aside. Real Madrid has shown their loyalty by offering the Brazilian three major incentives: a loyalty bonus, anti-racism protections, and Ballon d’Or performance bonuses. These aren’t just formalities; they are strong signals that the club stands firmly behind him. Real does not want Vinícius to feel the heat from any incoming superstar — especially not one who might disrupt team harmony. His growth trajectory speaks for itself, and it’s not far-fetched to suggest that he could soon be equal to — or even surpass — Mbappé. That alone could be unsettling for the Frenchman.

Even if Mbappé finally sees his dream of wearing the white jersey fulfilled, Crickex Sign Up insiders believe he won’t arrive with the same commanding presence he enjoyed in Paris. In PSG, he was balanced by Neymar and Messi; in Madrid, it’s Vinícius who will keep him in check. If Mbappé hopes to be the sole leader of a team, that wish won’t be granted at the Bernabéu. Unless he’s willing to adapt — or consider a different destination — his path at Real Madrid will come with challenges. After all, as Crickex Sign Up observes, this is Vinícius’s team now.
