Real Madrid has made a big change in the summer window! Two superstars may leave the team, leaving Mbappe alone in the Trident

In the early morning of July 15, Real Madrid announced the signing of Alvaro Fernandez, a club youth training treasure, finally returned after wandering outside for several years. His value is as high as 50 million euros. In addition to Arnold, Real Madrid's full-back combination in the new season has been formed.

However, although many new players such as Arnold and Alvaro Fernandez have been signed, it is believed that Real Madrid will continue to sign, and they still need to strengthen their strength in multiple positions such as central defenders and midfielders. In addition, the center also needs to buy people, and Alonso probably won't agree to let Mbappe and Gonzalo Garcia last a season.

In addition to signings, Real Madrid may also clean up the team's superstar players, including Vinicius and Rodrigo. After Alonso took office, Rodrigo was obviously not valued. Rodrigo only made three appearances in the 6 Club World Cup games, including only one starter, and he is already dispensable in the team. Under such circumstances, Rodrigo may not be willing to stay.

According to Spanish Channel 6, in addition to Rodrigo, Vinicius may also leave. He had originally decided to renew his contract at the beginning of this year, but now this plan has been temporarily put on hold. Now his contract with Real Madrid has two years left. If Winnieus is sure not to renew the contract, Real Madrid may send him away in the summer window. If it is delayed until next year, Real Madrid will be very passive. Winnieus may leave the team freely in 2027 at any time. Although Real Madrid often signs players from other teams without signing, they certainly don't want such a thing to happen to them.

‌If Real Madrid really sells Vinicius, I believe fans will not be surprised, because he and Mbappe do not match. Last season, in order to let both of them appear, An Shuai arranged for Mbappe to play as a center, but he still habitually launched an attack from the left, resulting in frequent overlapping with Vinicius. From the actual effect, the combination of Mbappe and Vinihus is far from playing the role of 1+1 greater than 2. I believe Alonso has no good solution to the problem that An Shuai cannot solve. These two people either serve as substitutes or one leaves. This is the best plan at present.

Last season, Real Madrid's strongest tridents on paper were Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrigo, but in the game against strong teams, An Shuai often let Rodrigo be the substitute because these three people started together, the actual effect was average. Moreover, because Vinicius and Mbappe basically did not defend, Real Madrid's pressure on the midfield and backcourt was huge, so the less famous Rodrigo could only become a victim. In the most extreme situation, after this summer window, only Mbappe may be left behind in Real Madrid's trident. In fact, selling Vinicius and Rodrigo is not necessarily a bad thing for Real Madrid. At least they can bring in superstar centers with all their strength to return to normal configuration in the frontcourt, rather than letting the winger play centers. It looks very awkward, which will affect the team's offensive efficiency!
