According to El Nacional, there are four Real Madrid stars, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz, who do not want Kylian Mbappe to join the Los Blancos.
The ongoing battle between PSG and Kylian Mbappe remains tense. Both sides have not reached a common ground regarding the French striker's future. Mbappe has made it clear about his plan to honor his contract until 2024, while PSG wants him to extend to have a more competitive season under the leadership of new coach Luis Enrique. PSG has not hidden its intention to "expel" Mbappe if the French international refuses to extend his contract.
Recently, PSG has taken a new decision that seems like a form of threat by banning the 24-year-old forward from playing. Specifically, PSG threatened not to allow Mbappe to board the team's plane for their trip to Japan, which is scheduled to start on July 22.
Real Madrid is seen as a potential destination for the French forward. However, while his arrival at Bernabeu is still uncertain, Mbappe is already disliked by some Real Madrid players. In particular, there are a few players who are unhappy about the prospect of having Mbappe in Madrid.
According to El Nacional, the four players, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz, do not want Real to sign a contract with Kylian Mbappe. They all play in the attacking line, so they fear that the 24-year-old forward might take their playing time.
Earlier, Coach Carlo Ancelotti had confirmed that Real Madrid would change their formation from 4-3-3 to 4-3-1-2 to make the most of their rich resources in midfield. This means Los Blancos will have only two forwards. Vinicius and Rodrygo are expected to lead the attack of Real Madrid in the upcoming season.
If Mbappe arrives at the Royal Club, one of the two players might have to sacrifice their position for the French striker, and that could be Rodrygo. In the previous season, Vinicius and Rodrygo contributed 23 and 19 goals, respectively, for Real across all competitions. Besides, even though they had limited playing time, Joselu and Diaz also do not want to work harder to compete for their positions.
