Luis Enrique Changes Mbappé’s Position and Helps Him Sign with Madrid
Despite having invested hundreds of millions in Kylian Mbappé, including some for the future, Luis Enrique seems dissatisfied. The Asturian coach has recently changed Mbappé’s position, offering an unexpected and surprising assist to Real Madrid.
Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembelé, and the list goes on, but something doesn’t fit in Luis Enrique’s lineups. The current PSG coach is causing controversy in France with a surprising choice regarding Kylian Mbappé’s role on the field, even catching the attention of the Bernabéu. If things go as planned for Real Madrid, even Carlo Ancelotti would be grateful to the former Barcelona coach.
We are increasingly seeing Mbappé playing as a ‘9’. This reality was evident not only against Le Havre but also against Newcastle, where only Kylian prevented it from being a defeat. More than 100 million euros have been invested in an attack where Mbappé is becoming more of a focal point despite Luis Enrique’s occasional requests and the transformation of a squad that is one step away from the Europa League.
There are reasons behind Luis Enrique’s decisions to understand this. Qatar left the forward without a preseason due to his reluctance to renew, and this fact takes a toll on a less explosive Mbappé than ever, with additional wear and tear to achieve what was once a walk in the park. Many in France are now wondering if all these factors will make Kylian play as the ‘9’ until the end of the season.
Real Madrid delighted At the Bernabéu, they interpret all this as a sign that Kylian is no longer just comfortable on the left flank and can adapt to the entire attacking front. This is something that would greatly help him if he were to join Real Madrid, where Vinicius already occupies that position. Luis Enrique does not trust his assets, and in Doha, some are questioning who will return the invested millions, with Concha Espina taking careful note in the background.
At the end of the road is the coveted ‘9’ shirt at Real Madrid, and a January where Mbappé will have to make a final decision. The fate of Luis Enrique’s team is linked to a series of events that go hand in hand with the uncertainty surrounding Kylian, where PSG’s lack of confidence in attack and the openings at Real Madrid can come together thanks to the Asturian coach. Will he be an unexpected ally?
