The soccer world holds its breath as the future of Kylian Mbappe hangs in the balance. With just a few months left on his PSG contract, he is poised to leave the Parisians. As the rumors of joining Real Madrid continue to gain momentum, a Los Blancos legend has brought attention to a key problem regarding the Frenchman’s signature, urging Carlo Ancelotti to do what is ‘best for the club.’
While others are looking at the brighter side of the 25-year-old’s arrival, Guti is focusing on the downside. The Spanish veteran insists that if Real Madrid signs Kylian Mbappe, they will face problems with three ‘consolidated players’ in the attack.
Speaking for El Chiringuito TV, he said, “I think it’s gonna be difficult for Ancelotti and Real Madrid to say, ‘Hey, you’re gonna play a lot less,’ to one of the three and that is a big problem right now.” Guti highlighted that his front three wouldn’t like to miss even a single big match. Interestingly, one of the hosts reminded Guti about the future arrival of 17-year-old Endrick.

While insisting that the teenage sensation would also seek playtime, Mbappe’s arrival might change that, as he believes that someone would be forced to be on the bench. “In the end, you have to go for the one you think is going to be best for the club,” he added. Guti advised his former side to ‘believe what is beneficial‘ for them. “I think that right now Madrid has great players,” he concluded.
It seems like the 47YO wants Madrid to ponder over their decision to sign the Frenchman. Interestingly, in some sense, he isn’t alone. A France legend earlier warned Kylian Mbappe to reconsider his stance to play at Santiago Bernabeu.

Emmanuel Petit had made a huge claim that Kylian Mbappe won’t be able to fit in with Jude Bellingham. He said, “[Bellingham] is the star of Madrid right now. Do you think you can have mini-stars who can shine at Madrid? Do you know how it works, this club? It is very difficult, there are a lot of big egos.” That’s not the end of it.

Petit thinks Jude Bellingham would object to Madrid’s decision to give Mbappe a larger salary, which ‘could be the start of throwing him to the dressing room.’ Likewise, renowned French journalist Josef Pedrerol candidly remarked that Mbappe donning the white shirt isn’t a ‘good idea.’
