It has been reported that due to the arrival of Mbappe and Brazilian genius Endrick, two Real Madrid stars have expressed their concern that at least one big-name player will be purged.
Carlo Ancelotti's side won their 15th Champions League title by beating Borussia Dortmund at Wembley earlier this month, cementing their status as the undisputed king of European football. At the same time, they also won the La Liga title comfortably, 10 points above second-placed Barcelona. There are fears that Real Madrid's long reign in the top trophies could continue for many more years.
Despite having two 2024 Ballon d'Or Contenders Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Júnior, as well as a host of other attacking options, including Alda Güller, who has been a standout performer at this tournament, Real Madrid have strengthened their squad with two strong signings.
After a long chase, Real Madrid will officially confirm the signing of Kylian Mbappe, who is currently considered the best player in the world, on July 1, with the World Cup winner moving from Paris Saint-Germain to the Bernabeu as a free agent when his contract expires.
Mbappe scored 256 goals in 308 games during his seven years at PSG, and it's incredible to imagine how prolific he could have become playing at the Bernabeu with the top players around him.
The signing of Mbappe and Endrick has given Liverpool transfer hopes
Real Madrid's fortune doesn't stop there, with another talented Brazilian teenager confirmed to arrive in July, Endrick, also joining Real Madrid.
The player, who will turn 18 on July 21, is already on Real Madrid's radar, with the transfer announced in December last year due to be officially completed in the summer.
Endrick has been compared to Brazilian legends Pele, Ronaldo and Romario, who already have 82 high-level games and have scored three goals in four appearances for his country this season, including the winner in a friendly against England at Wembley.
With high expectations coming to the Bernabeu, there is an opinion that Real Madrid's preferred attacking line-up next season will be Kylian Mbappe in the middle, flanked by new signings Endrick and Vinicius Júnior.
However, not everyone was happy with Real Madrid's summer signings, with both Vinicius and another Real Madrid trusted attacker, Rodrygo, expressing concern that the double signing would limit their game time, according to Brazilian outlet UOL.
In addition, with Mbappe "dismissively" saying that the European Championship is harder to win than the World Cup, an "internal war" could break out in Madrid, which could lead to the departure of a high-profile player this summer.
Liverpool are eyeing two Real Madrid stars
According to the report, Real Madrid are indeed poised to let a star go, with Turkish phenom Güler most likely to leave, considering a season loan with Real Sociedad.
However, Liverpool are also considered potential beneficiaries with new manager Arne Slote interested in Güller if he has an option.
For Slot, the real reward could be Rodrigo. The 54-goal star is Carlo Ancelotti's darling but could be the most unhappy player after a double signing, with a hefty offer allegedly tempting Real Madrid to sell.
The Real Madrid president and Carlo Ancelotti continue to insist that the Brazilian striker remains an important part of their plans for the future and will not consider an offer for him.
Still, an offer close to 120 million euros (about £101.3 million) could convince them to sell, and the Reds are allegedly willing to raise money by selling Luis Díaz to Barcelona at a bargain price.
TEAMtalk reports that there is currently no substantive information on whether Liverpool have made an offer for Rodrygo or whether they will fund the club's record transfer.
However, what is certain is that even with the best efforts, Real Madrid will not be able to satisfy all the superstars next season, and the possibility of major sacrifices cannot be ruled out.
