Multiple ways they can line up with Mpabbe coming in - either way some of their attacking players or midfielders are going to be sacrificed and find themselves on the bench for most of the season.
Player likely to be sacrificed would be Rodrygo in my opinion.
Ancelotti likes to put Bellingham in with the front two attackers, giving the front three freedom to play as they wish.
This is how they will likely line up in my opinion
Vinicius Jr……………Mpabbe
…………..Bellingham
Kimmich…Camavinga…Valverde
Bench
Rodrygo
Tchouameni
Modric
Militao
Vazquez
Alaba
Diaz
Guler
Garcia
Appears that their strong favourites to sing Kimmich from Bayern, meaning he’ll take the spot of Modric
Seems like an opportunity for the big clubs to poach one of them
Real Madrid front 3 next season

Mbappe doesn’t actually fit into the side that well. He is comfortable on right but obviously LW or CF are his favourite and they’re already taken a bit.

I read Alfonso Davies is off to Real too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah he’s signed a pre contract agreement months ago. Another free transfer for them
----------------------------------------------------------------------
be huge wages and signing on fees etc though, remember Alaba getting 18m signing on fee, his agent got 5m and his father 6m and 450k a week to boot.

It's a bit misleading though, because in-demand players who join for 'free' get either mammoth wages and/or huge signing-on fees. Alaba, for example, is one of Madrid's top earners, at over €20M/season.

Fair point- I guess this is how they're getting around FFP without spending astronomical transfer fees every year. Seems as tho they're never questioned in regards to FFP. Must be doing everything bybthe books I suppose..
But next season will see their bench full of quality..
Rodrygo
Alaba
Tchouameni
Modric
Militao
Vazquez
Endrick
Just some names spring to mind.

Would love Rodrigo at Chelsea, but would he be physically strong enough for the P/L ?
Also RM will miss Kroos and Modric hugely next season.

Brahim has been a big factor this season too, either off the bench or as one of the first names in Carlo's rotations
Militão would probably be a starter ahead of Nacho - it's just that he's been out most of the season due to an ACL rupture. Likewise Alaba. Vázquez and Modric both too old to be picked up by a top side. Tchouaméni plays quite a bit and should get even more minutes with Kroos gone.
Rodrygo would be the one most likely to be sold, but his market value is close to £100M. Brahim and Ceballos might be good options for some a club looking to add squad depth, but hard to see them as starters for a title challenger.

Surprised autocorrect didn’t pick up on mpabbe

£200m all in for 5 years of Mbappe isn’t a bad deal when you consider Hojlund will cost us around £100m or Antony costing us £115m

PSG must be salty at Mbappe that they are not receiving any fee?

Their fault entirely. They rejected €200M when he had just 1 year left.
