Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are two of the leading players in the Real Madrid squad, and there appears to be a quiet battle between them, both on and off the pitch. Real Madrid signed Mbappe to play as their striker, but the Frenchman is well known for preferring to operate from the left before cutting inside onto his right foot, which is also the primary role of Vinicius. Accommodating both players in the same team has not been straightforward, and even Carlo Ancelotti struggled to find a successful solution. That ongoing situation could potentially strengthen Arsenal’s hopes of signing Vinicius this summer. The Mbappe thing is undoubtedly a problem for Vini Jr.”With no resolution yet to Vinicius’ contract situation, the coming weeks could prove significant as discussions over his future continue while Arsenal monitor developments closely.
