<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> is now officially a Real Madrid player after his transfer from PSG. The French forward was unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu in front of more than 80,000 fans, stating, “It means a lot to me to be here today. I’m very happy and proud to be a player for the club of my dreams.” However, Mbappe’s arrival could lead to the departure of another forward from the team, possibly to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league">Premier League</a>.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rodrygo">Rodrygo</a> is one of the players who may be most impacted by Mbappe’s move to Madrid. The Brazilian could find his place in the starting lineup in danger, sparking rumors that he could leave Real Madrid this season.



In England, Rodrygo is seen as a potential top signing in the Premier League. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a>, flush with funds from the sale of Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, is reportedly interested in the Brazilian, who has caught the eye of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pep-guardiola">Pep Guardiola.</a>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool">Liverpool</a> is another club keeping a close watch on Rodrygo’s situation. The Reds have long been interested in the Brazilian, and with the possibility of him leaving Real Madrid, Liverpool could be poised to make a move.

Kylian Mbappe’s absence from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/france">France</a> in the soccer final of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Paris 2024 Olympic Games</a> against Spain surprises many fans. Despite being one of the best footballers in the world and playing at home, the Real Madrid striker will not be present at this long-awaited match.



The answer lies in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa">FIFA</a> rules and agreements between clubs and national associations. According to the regulations, clubs can refuse to release their players to participate in the Olympic Games.



This decision has generated a great debate both in the world of football and among French fans. Many wonder if this is the best decision for the player and the French national team because it is argued that the Olympic Games are a unique opportunity for Mbappe to represent his country in a historic event.



<h2>Kylian Mbappe out of the Paris 2024 soccer final</h2>



The main reason <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> does not play in the soccer final at the Paris 2024 Olympics is Real Madrid’s decision not to release the player. The Spanish club has prioritized the preparation of its squad for next season and has considered that Mbappe’s participation in the Olympic Games could increase the risk of injury.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062032/France-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-156460" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Players Team France line up prior to the Men’s Quarterfinal match between France and Argentina during the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux on August 02, 2024 in Bordeaux, France.

In addition, the load of games that Mbappe has had in recent seasons has also influenced this decision. The player has played numerous games and Real Madrid wants to make sure that he arrives at the new season in the best possible physical condition.

The European transfer market has delivered one of the most talked-about moves in recent times. Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid has created a lot of buzz about what’s to come next season. In a squad full of stars, it was none other than Brazilian Vinicius Jr. who spoke about what it will be like to share the field with the Frenchman.



Mbappe’s arrival at the Madrid club will raise the stakes even higher, and his teammates will need to stay sharp to continue competing at the highest level for Carlo Ancelotti.



One of the key figures from last season’s Champions League champions, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Jr.</a>, expressed enthusiasm about sharing the squad with the French forward and admitted that it will make his integration into the team much easier.



According to statements made to Real Madrid TV, the former Flamengo player said: “We have to take care of him and do everything possible so that he can adapt as quickly as possible.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062312/Vini-Jr-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Vini Jr Real Madrid" class="wp-image-155535" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid celebrates after scoring the team’s second goal during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 leg one match between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid at Anfield on February 21, 2023 in Liverpool, England.</figcaption></figure>



He also compared Mbappe’s arrival to that of Englishman <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham">Jude Bellingham</a>, who joined from Borussia Dortmund: “It is always difficult to join another club, but we already did it with Jude [Bellingham], who arrived last season and has shone. Hopefully we can repeat it with Kylian [Mbappe].”

<h2>Vini Jr. and his feelings about Endrick</h2>



Not only did <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a marquee signing, but the young Brazilian star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a> also made his way to Madrid. After turning 18, he was finally able to join the club.



The former Palmeiras player shares the Brazil national team with Vini Jr., who said, “He’s very young, but he’s focused and knows he can help us when we need it.”

<h2>Real Madrid and an offense from another planet</h2>



Mbappe’s arrival at Madrid was a seismic shock in the European transfer market. The French star left PSG to join Carlo Ancelotti’s team and form one of the most feared attacks on the continent.



Undoubtedly he looks set to be the starting forward for the Merengues. However, the attack also boasts standout names like Brazilians Vinícius Jr., Rodrygo, and the recently arrived Endrick. Additionally, Jude Bellingham, who often joins the attack, could also be part of this formidable lineup.

The arrival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> to Real Madrid was one of the most anticipated signings in world football. However, behind this great news lies a disappointment for the French striker.



Florentino Perez’s decision to sign Mbappe was a coup in the transfer market and a great achievement for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>. However, this decision resulted in the French striker giving up on one of his dreams.



According to Robert Pires’ statements to Marca, Mbappe’s big dream was participating in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Paris 2024 Olympic Games</a>. The Russia 2018 World Cup-winning striker would have had the opportunity to play under Thierry Henry and represent his country at home.



<h2>Kylian Mbappe’s disappointment</h2>



As Robert Pires explained to Marca by the decision of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florentino-perez">Florentino Perez</a>, the Frenchman could not face the Olympic event and the former midfielder explained the discomfort it caused him: “I know that Mbappe is disappointed. I know that he wanted to play because it is a dream for many to play in the Olympic Games, especially in France, in Paris, in his city.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062321/Kylian-Mbappe-France-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-155513" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>&nbsp;Kylian Mbappe of France looks dejected as he leaves the field after defeat to Spain during the UEFA EURO 2024 Semi-Final match between Spain and France at Munich Football Arena on July 09, 2024 in Munich, Germany.

<h2>The weight of Florentino Perez’s decision</h2>



Pires assured that Mbappe respects the decision of the Real Madrid president and that now his priority is to succeed at the white club. However, the player feels a certain nostalgia for not being able to represent his country in the Olympic Games.



<h2>France in the final of the Olympic Games</h2>



The French national team, coached by Thierry Henry, has reached the final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The French team has shown a great level of play and has qualified as one of the favorites to take the gold medal.



Mbappe’s absence has been noticeable in the French team, but the players have been able to overcome this loss and have reached the final. Next Friday, France will face Spain in the final, in a match that promises to be very exciting.

Kylian Mbappe is joining <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> with high expectations. The Frenchman arrives in the Spanish capital as one of the world’s best players, but knowing he’s joining a team that has already succeeded without him.



While his addition is definitely a huge boost, the club comes from winning both LaLiga and UEFA Champions League. Therefore, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> has to respect the way things are done at the Santiago Bernabeu.



In fact, according to Spanish outlet Marca, Mbappe will not be Real Madrid’s primary penalty taker this season. Instead, that will continue to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Junior</a>‘s responsibility.



<h2>Mbappe to be Real Madrid’s second-choice penalty taker behind Vinicius</h2>



The Brazilian was designated the team’s main penalty taker after Karim Benzema’s departure in the summer of 2023 and he was up to the task, scoring all three spot-kicks he took in the 2023-24 season.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062440/Vinicius-penalty-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid scores his team&apos;s first goal from the penalty spot during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on April 21, 2024 in Madrid, Spain." class="wp-image-155186" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid scores his team’s first goal from the penalty spot during the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Madrid CF and FC Barcelona at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on April 21, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



This decision will require respect and humility from Mbappe, who was used to taking penalties at PSG. This even created problems at his former club back in the day, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mbappe-and-neymar-stay-together-at-psg-for-one-reason-only-20220930-0010.html">with Mbappe and Neymar arguing</a> on who should take penalties more than once.

<h2>Mbappe expected to take free kicks for Real Madrid</h2>



However, it looks like Real Madrid still have an important role in mind for the Frenchman. The report claims Mbappe will be the primary free-kick taker, even if he’s never scored from a direct free-kick for club or country so far.

Report: Kylian Mbappe will not be Real Madrid's main penalty taker this season

Real Madrid made a strong statement in the European transfer market, not only with the dazzling acquisition of French forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> but also by securing the services of one of the latest South American jewels, Brazilian forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a>.



The young prospect, who began his professional football career wearing the colors of Palmeiras, quickly caught the eye of Europe’s giants. However, he ultimately chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>, which secured his transfer even before he turned 18.



Naturally, one of the first questions asked of players who are just starting their professional football careers is about their biggest role models or who their greatest idols have been throughout their lives.



In a recent interview, Endrick surprisingly answered this question by mentioning two names that caught many people’s attention. The first is none other than former Real Madrid star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>. The Portuguese multiple Ballon d’Or winner is one of Endrick’s biggest role models.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062710/Cristiano-Ronaldo-Real-Madrid-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid" class="wp-image-154413" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid celebrates scoring his sides second goal during the UEFA Champions League group H match between Real Madrid and APOEL Nikosia at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on September 13, 2017 in Madrid, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



Perhaps the most striking aspect of his response is his second source of inspiration: the Brazilian forward named English legend Bobby Charlton as one of his role models.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">🇧🇷🎙️ Endrick when asked who are his childhood idols. “Cristiano and Bobby Charlton.”<a href="https://t.co/sfIlpkU5nL">pic.twitter.com/sfIlpkU5nL</a>— All Things Brazil™ 🇧🇷 (@SelecaoTalk) <a href="https://twitter.com/SelecaoTalk/status/1819842432390881404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 3, 2024</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2>Sir Bobby Charlton: Endrick’s idol</h2>



While it might seem unusual for someone as young as Endrick to name Charlton as one of his idols (the English player was active between the 1950s and 1970s), this is not the first time the Brazilian has mentioned the former Manchester United star.



After a friendly match played earlier this year at Wembley between Brazil and England, Endrick remarked following the game: “A guy who is an idol here [at Wembley Stadium] is also Bobby Charlton. Playing in the stadium that Bobby played, scoring on the day Ronaldo debuted. These are very important memories for me.”



<h2>Endrick and the impressions he made at Real Madrid</h2>



Although he will need to secure a spot in a lineup that includes Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Jr., forward Endrick has received high praise from his coach, Carlo Ancelotti: 



“He’s very fast, very dangerous in tight spaces, has the ability to turn with speed in little space, very agile in getting himself free, and all these qualities he has means he’s a great talent,” stated Ancelotti in the BBC Sport interview. “It’s rare to see a player with these types of characteristics.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> and Barcelona will play a new edition of El Clasico in a preseason friendly at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. However, Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on Frenchman <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>, who recently joined the Spanish team.



The reason why Kylian Mbappe will not play against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> is because the Frenchman did not travel with Real Madrid to play pre-season friendlies in the United States.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> believes it’s best for the French forward to continue his rest after an intense season with Paris Saint–Germain and his participation with the French national team in the UEFA Euro 2024.



Real Madrid lost against Milan 1-0, in their last preseason friendly. In that match, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a> made his long-awaited debut in the Spanish team, and will be looking to add more playing time against Barcelona.

As European giants continue their preparations for the upcoming season, the transfer market remains highly active, with several new faces potentially set to join various clubs.



Without a doubt, the most talked-about transfer of the European summer was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>‘s move to Real Madrid. Although it was widely anticipated that the French star would join the Merengues during this transfer window, he has now officially signed and is already under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.



Mbappé’s arrival, along with Brazilian forward Endrick, has transformed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> into a global powerhouse. However, it seems the club’s ambitions are far from over. There’s a player willing to forgo part of his salary to join these stars at the Bernabeu, indicating that Real Madrid’s pursuit of greatness is far from complete.



According to Spanish newspaper AS, a central defender currently playing alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia has reached out to his agent to expedite his departure from the club. This move comes in response to Real Madrid’s interest in signing him before his contract with the Saudi club expires.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062844/Aymeric-Laporte-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Aymeric Laporte Al Nassr" class="wp-image-153927" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Aymeric Laporte of Al-Nassr looks on as he lines up prior to the Riyadh Season Cup Final match between Al Hilal and Al-Nassr at Kingdom Arena on February 08, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.</figcaption></figure>



The central defender in question is none other than Aymeric Laporte. The player, fresh off winning the Euro 2024 with Spain, has requested to expedite his departure due to his difficulty adjusting to life in Saudi Arabia. Laporte is reportedly willing to forgo the remainder of his contract and significantly reduce his salary to make a move to Real Madrid.

" title="Why is Kylian Mbappe not traveling to the U.S. tour with Real Madrid?" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/why-is-kylian-mbappe-not-traveling-to-the-u-s-tour-with-real-madrid"></div>


<h2>What is Aymeric Laporte’s situation at Al Nassr?</h2>



The central defender has two years remaining on his contract in Saudi Arabia, but reports indicate that he hasn’t been fully satisfied with the league and is seeking an exit. The prospect of joining Real Madrid appeals to him, and he is one of the players Carlo Ancelotti is closely considering.



The player is so eager to join Real Madrid that salary is not a concern. He signed a three-year contract with Al Nassr worth €24 million per year. While Real Madrid is not prepared to match that salary, Laporte is willing to significantly reduce his wages. Additionally, he would forgo the €48 million remaining on his contract with the Saudi club.



<h2>Carlo Ancelotti and his thoughts on the squad</h2>



Although Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti recently expressed satisfaction with the current squad in a press conference, he also gave a positive nod to the potential arrival of Aymeric Laporte at Real Madrid.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062833/Carlo-Ancelotti-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Carlo Ancelotti Real Madrid" class="wp-image-153956" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Carlo Ancelotti, Manager of Real Madrid, looks on prior to the LaLiga Santander match between Cadiz CF and Real Madrid CF at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on April 15, 2023 in Cadiz, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



Laporte would complete the central defense lineup alongside Militao, Rüdiger, Alaba, and Vallejo. However, the Austrian defender, who is still recovering from a knee injury, is not expected to be available for Ancelotti until at least November.

Report: Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate insists on leaving Al Nassr to join Kylian Mbappe's Real Madrid - Bolavip US

As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> gears up for the new season, their preparations have already seen some ups and downs. In their opening friendly, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to AC Milan, highlighting the need for tactical adjustments ahead of their next big challenge.



The focus now shifts to one of the year’s most anticipated fixtures: El Clasico against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a>. Scheduled for Saturday, August 3, at 7:00 PM ET at MetLife Stadium in the United States, this showdown is poised to be a significant test for the Spanish giants.



According to Spanish sports daily Marca, Real Madrid manager <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> has already finalized his lineup for the clash, without their star forward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> who didn’t travel with the team to the U.S tour.



<h2>Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup decisions</h2>



Ancelotti’s selection has sparked debate among Spanish media, with differing predictions about the final lineup. Nevertheless, Brazilian talents <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/endrick">Endrick</a> and Rodrygo are expected to play prominent roles.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28062932/endrick-debut-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-153658" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Endrick dribbles the ball during the game between Real Madrid and AC Milan. IMAGO / Sports Press Photo</figcaption></figure>



Marca reports that Ancelotti is likely to field the following starting eleven: Thibaut Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Antonio Rüdiger, Eder Militão, Fran Garca; Luka Modric, Mario Martin, Dani Ceballos; Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Endrick.



Conversely, Relevo suggests potential changes, including Brahim Diaz stepping in for Vinicius Junior and Arda Güler replacing Mario Martin. Despite these variations, the core of the lineup remains consistent with Marca’s forecast.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> is living a golden era, and the Ballon d’Or seems destined to return to the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of the Merengue team, has shared his opinion on who should take the prestigious individual award.



In a recent interview, Ancelotti praised the performance of several players throughout the season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius">Vinicius Junior</a>, with his overflowing talent and decisive goals, has been a fundamental piece in Real Madrid’s successes. For his part,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham"> Jude Bellingham</a> has shown surprising maturity and footballing quality for his age, becoming a key player in the Whites’ midfield.



Similarly, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> brings speed, overflow, goal, and a great ability to unbalance matches. His arrival further strengthens Real Madrid’s attack, which already has outstanding players.



<h2>Who is the player chosen by Carlo Ancelotti to win the Ballon d’Or?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> on the podcast of John Obi Mikel, Ancelotti’s former Chelsea player, expressed his favoritism for a Madrid player to win the Ballon d’Or. “For me, Vinicius deserves the Ballon d’Or… He will win it, that’s my opinion,” Ancelotti said. The Italian coach highlighted the impact of the Brazilian in the Champions League, where his performance was key to winning the title.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/28063004/Vinicius-Jr-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-153463" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Soccer Champions League Final Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid on 01 06 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London Goal celebration to 0 2 by Vinicius Junior. IMAGO /&nbsp;Revierfoto</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The Battle for the Ballon d’Or Intensifies</h2>



The competition for the Ballon d’Or is fiercer than ever. Players such as Karim Benzema and Luka Modric have already lifted this trophy in the Real Madrid shirt, but now it is the turn of a new generation of talent.



Vinicius, with his explosive style of play and his ability to unbalance matches, is Ancelotti’s great favorite. However, Bellingham is not far behind. His arrival at Real Madrid has been a resounding success, and his adaptation to the team has been impressive.



Other players such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a>‘s Rodri are also being mentioned as possible candidates for the Ballon d’Or. However, Real Madrid’s hegemony in recent seasons, added to the exceptional performances of Vinicius and Bellingham, places the Whites in a privileged position.



<h2>Ancelotti, a historic coach at Real Madrid</h2>



Carlo Ancelotti is leaving an indelible mark on the history of Real Madrid. With his arrival, the white team has regained its enthusiasm and has once again been the protagonist of European football. The Italian has become one of the most successful coaches in the club’s history, and his continuity on the Merengue bench is a guarantee of success.

After being one of the most important signings in Real Madrid’s history, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> will become the youngest soccer club owner in history after becoming a shareholder in a European club.



According to Le Parisien, Mbappe, 25, will acquire 80% of Caen’s Stade Malherbe through his investment fund Coalition Capital. The club is currently playing in France’s Ligue 2. The purchase, valued at around €20 million, will make him one of the youngest club owners in Europe.



Pierre-Antoine Capton, the current President of the Supervisory Board, will retain a 20% minority stake. Capton, founder of Troisième Oeil Productions and Chairman of Mediawan’s Board of Directors, had previously announced the departure of the American investment fund Oaktree in 2020, stating they were there to save the club and now aimed to recoup their investment.



Mbappe’s investment in Stade Malherbe de Caen is particularly significant given his history with the club. At the age of 13, he nearly signed with Caen but ultimately chose AS Monaco. Now, at 25, Mbappe’s return to the club, albeit in a different capacity, marks a full-circle moment.

<h2>When will Kylian Mbappe play his first match at Real Madrid?</h2>



Kylian Mbappe did not travel to the U.S. tour with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> and is expected to play his first match in the European Super Cup, in the clash between the winner of the Champions League (Real Madrid) and the winner of the Europa League (Atalanta) on August 14 in Warsaw.



A few days later, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> striker will be able to make his debut in LaLiga, in the first match against Mallorca, at the Son Moix Stadium, on August 18.

Kylian Mbappe becomes one of the youngest club owners in Europe after joining Real Madrid - Bolavip US

Despite the excitement of Real Madrid fans eager to see <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> don the white jersey in preseason friendlies, the French superstar will not be traveling to the United States. His debut with the Spanish club will have to wait.



The reason why Mbappe will miss the pre-season is because Real Madrid authorities in agreement with head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> believe it is best for the French forward to continue his rest after an intense season with Paris Saint–Germain and his participation with the French national team in the UEFA Euro 2024.



Mbappe is not the only player staying back in Europe. Other Real Madrid players in similar situations will also not join the U.S. tour, including Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham">Jude Bellingham</a>, Dani Carvajal, and Federico Valverde.



These players are expected to report to the Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas training facilities next week to begin preparations for the 2024/2025 season. This season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> will compete in seven different competitions, these are LaLiga, Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League, the Intercontinental Cup and the Club World Cup.

Why is Kylian Mbappe not traveling to the U.S. tour with Real Madrid? - Bolavip US

The European summer transfer market remains bustling, with major clubs rapidly making moves to strengthen their squads in pursuit of a successful season. With notable football stars making headlines recently, top clubs are prepared to pay top dollar to enhance their rosters.



Such is the case with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a>, which recently saw its star player, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>, leave for another giant, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>. In response, the Parisian management acted swiftly and has already identified their target to become the new marquee player.



The player in question is none other than Nico Williams, the young star from Athletic Bilbao and recent European champion with the Spanish national team. Although a formal offer from the French club has not yet been disclosed, according to Diario AS, all indications are that the Spanish sensation is the primary target.



Currently, the biggest competition for PSG is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">FC Barcelona</a>, which has expressed strong interest in signing Nico Williams. Barcelona aims to bolster their attack by adding Williams to their lineup alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski">Robert Lewandowski.</a>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28063715/Nico-Williams-2-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Nico Williams Athletic Bilbao" class="wp-image-151071" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao celebrates scoring the 2nd goal during the Copa del Rey Semifinal match between Athletic Club Bilbao and Atletico de Madrid at San Mames Stadium on February 29, 2024 in Bilbao, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



These are crucial hours for Nico Williams’ future, and all signs point to him moving to a major European club. Any team looking to secure his services will need to meet his release clause of €58 million to acquire the young star from Athletic Club de Bilbao.

<h2>Stay in Spain or move to France: Nico Williams’ big decision</h2>



From the outset, FC Barcelona has shown keen interest in the Spanish winger. German coach Hansi Flick has instructed the club’s management not to consider any other reinforcements until Williams’ situation is resolved. According to Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter), Barcelona’s top priority is securing Williams. Once his situation is settled, the club will shift its focus to alternatives such as Dani Olmo and João Cancelo.



<h2>Williams and his friendship with Yamal</h2>



The standout forward of the moment, Nico Williams, is the prized gem that Europe’s top clubs are eager to sign. As his future remains undecided, Williams is enjoying a vacation with his close friend, Lamine Yamal. This connection could hint at a potential move to FC Barcelona. However, PSG is prepared to offer him double the salary he would earn at the Catalan club and continues to push hard to bring Williams into their ranks.

PSG joins intense race for star player wanted by Barcelona to replace Mbappe - Bolavip US

The arrival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> at Real Madrid has generated enormous expectations in the world of football. The French striker, considered one of the best players in the world, joins a team full of talent and has an ambitious sporting project. However, his integration into Carlo Ancelotti’s game scheme will not be an easy task.



The French striker, along with Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham, will form a dream attack at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>. However, for this quartet to work perfectly, it will be necessary for the players to quickly adapt to Ancelotti’s system of play and find the best way to complement each other on the pitch.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> has been clear about this: mobility and versatility will be fundamental in Real Madrid’s attack. With the arrival of Mbappe, the team will have four top-level strikers, each with different characteristics and skills. However, the Italian coach wants his players to be able to adapt to various positions and game situations.



<h2>What is the role that Kylian Mbappe will have at Real Madrid?</h2>



The ability to adapt to different tactical situations is one of Real Madrid’s great strengths. Ancelotti has proven to be a master at crafting specific game plans for each opponent. “I want to give them freedom. They have to have the ability to control the situations that arise during the game,” said the Italian coach. This tactical flexibility will allow Real Madrid to surprise their opponents and find spaces in the tightest defenses.

“The important key to the attack is the mobility of the players. Sometimes they can play on the left, sometimes in the center,” said Ancelotti. This philosophy of play was reflected last season, where players such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius">Vinicius Jr</a>. and Rodrygo Goes showed a great ability to move throughout the attacking front. With the addition of Mbappe and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham">Jude Bellingham</a>, Real Madrid will have an even more fluid and dynamic attack.



<h2>Real Madrid’s pre-season and the first challenges</h2>



Real Madrid began their preseason in the United States in the absence of Mbappe, who is on vacation after the European Championship. However, the team is already working on the set-up to face the first challenges of the season. The European Super Cup will be the first big test for Ancelotti’s team, and Mbappe is expected to be integrated into the group for this important match.

Carlo Ancelotti reveals Kylian Mbappe's role at Real Madrid - Bolavip US

After a disappointing performance at UEFA Euro 2024, the French national team is eager to make a comeback and secure their second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics">Olympic</a> gold in soccer, with their first being in Los Angeles in 1984. Unfortunately, they’ll have to chase this goal without their captain, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>.



The reason for Mbappe’s absence is Real Madrid’s refusal to release him for the Olympic Games. Since the Olympics are not part of the official FIFA competition calendar, clubs are not obligated to allow their players to participate. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>, wanting their new superstar to focus on his first preseason under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a>, decided not to let him join the French squad.



In a press conference, Mbappe stated, “I will not participate in the Olympic Games, it’s the truth. My club has a very clear position and I also understand it: I can’t join the team in September, it’s not the best start for an adventure. I wish the best to the French national team and I will watch all the games as just another fan.”
