Kylian Mbappe looks to be on his way out of PSG and Ligue1. Following a stand off with the Paris based club, the forward is attracting a lot of interest from clubs around the world.
But after the departure of Karim Benzema, it’s Real Madrid who are emerging as a front runner to pick up the French international. With the La Liga club in need of an elite striker, this should be an ideal match – but things might not be as easy as first thought.
JJ Bull, with a guest appearance from editor Don Ma, breaks down just why there are a few issues with Mbappe signing for Real.

Take a drink every time he says dialogue
"We'd have to crunch the numbers…and guess who's done that? THE ASIAN GUY!!"
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.
The scariest part of mbappe linking in the midfield when RM are in their own end is that once he makes that pass he can head for the oppositions back line so fast , the counter with him and vini with passes from kroos and modric will be terrifying
My 🐢
Who knew Jackie chan works at Tifo 😂
The French expression on the image translates to “JJ Bull, a fantastic analyst and an even better human being”
real madrid do not need mbappe they need harry kane/osimen they need a natural number 9 they already have vinicious on the left and rydrygo/arda on the right
France have a lot of fluidity with in their squad that why mbappe have all that freedom.
Brilliant video.
Unless Mbappe plays as a center forward, how can he coexist with Vinicius Jr? Mbappe wants a left wing position.
he shood go too noocusl on a lon so he cun gt the suode mune but pla n englnd
Its nice to think he was doing all of that unselfish central work for PSG. In reality he was constantly occupying the same left half space as Neymar leaving a gaping chasm in the centre, and when Messi filled it, that in turn would leave a gaping chasm down the right.
Everything else is spot on though and I too have often wondered how theyd incorporate/get the best out of Vini Jr and Mbappe in the same team
Tifo is a treasure, keep up the great work folks
Ohh damn that's too bad, sounds like he'd really like to play with Benzema…. let's all get out the violins.
We’ve seen Bellingham take that “deep” role in the Man U game. Rodrygo can also do the same but obviously gives you different options cuz hes more of a 1v1 ball carrier. Either way I think Mbappe to Madrid makes complete sense and the link up with Vini is going to be insane.
Why is this video keeps mentioning Benzema? Benzema already left to Saudi Arabia. Joselu is Real Madrid’s no.9.
I really hope Mbappe goes to Real. It feels like a completion of his career progression. He’s been stuck in the PSG limbo for far too long.
I’d say have Jude or Rodrygo play as the false 9 like Benz would play drop back to receive the ball and create the play. And then have the explosive pace of Vini and Mbappe bombing down the wings.
If real are smart they just wait 1 year and get him free
Once He joins Real Madrid Fc, he will be the new Real Madrid Fc number 9
Real signing playrs based on name value and not on logic…..OH MY WHATEVER WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT???
I think the problem with this is it doesnt take into account THAT RODRYGO DOES THE EXACT SAME THING. The little fact that is oftenly overlooked, is that he is a LW, not a RW. He only got there because he was better than Asensio and Vini pace is more of an assist than when he is out there. Hes way more clinical than Vini and generally is the only player madrid has (before Diaz returned) that could unlock a deep lying defense with his instinctual dribbling
Who’s going to defend in that midfield?
What if Real Madrid doesn’t buy him. And he has a freedom to go anywhere next season. Where would he go? Would he want a move to PL to play against Haland?
Tony Kroos reading Kros like cross not Krus
In short, there are none lmao
Love that they've added Jay Jay to the Wall of Fame
I feel like mbappe is a pure winger not a striker
I have some questions about Real (I'm not a supporter):
Is Camavinga content to stay at LB?
When will Tchouameni start over Kroos or Modric?
Will this summer's addition of Bellingham mean that Valverde will continue playing on the wing, and is he satisfied there?
