New Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappé, is getting ready to join a team packed with stars, particularly in the offensive department. When questioned about the upcoming competition, Rodrygo doesn’t seem worried.
Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Endrick, and now Kylian Mbappé… This is the new offensive face of Real Madrid for the 2024-2025 season. An attacking lineup that already raises some questions, especially regarding hierarchy and playing time for each player.
How will Carlo Ancelotti manage all these stars? What will be the role of the French international in the white jersey? Won’t egos derail the incredible momentum of Real Madrid, freshly crowned with their 15th Champions League title? These are some of the questions currently fueling debates.
Asked about this, Endrick – who is preparing to leave Palmeiras to join the Spanish capital – expressed his enthusiasm about playing alongside the 2018 World Cup champion.
“Having him and Vinicius on the same team is amazing, but I know it will require a lot of work from my side to maintain the same level. Mbappé is an incredible player. I think it has always been a dream to play with him and now it will come true. I am very happy and I hope it will be a beautiful story,” said the young Brazilian prospect in an interview with RTVE.

When asked about Endrick’s arrival, the 1.74m right-winger emphasized that he would do everything to ensure harmony. “He is very mature for his age. You can feel it when talking to him and on the field, you can see it. For me, it’s already a pleasure to be able to play with him, to be able to help him in one way or another.
At Real Madrid, I will help him, just as Vini did with me.” An optimistic speech despite recent statements from José Félix Diaz, a prominent figure at Marca, asserting that the future of the Canarinha forward remains very uncertain. “The exit door is always open. His desire to stay is not completely sealed. Manchester City is there, I know Guardiola called him. He is not comfortable,” stated the Spanish journalist, who is very close to the Madrid club…
