What will Real Madrid look like next season with Kylian Mbappé in its ranks? One thing is certain, Carlo Ancelotti will not be short of options.

“For the first time, from the consistent and serious sources that I have, I am told that it is done. » Laure Boulleau announced Sunday evening, on the set of Channel Football Clubthe very probable departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid at the end of the financial year, thus confirming the information revealed a little earlier by the daily The Parisian. Nothing is obviously official yet, but the French striker (25 years old) would have made his decision this time, after a series which has lasted for several years: his seventh season at PSG will be the last.

If Paris Saint-Germain must therefore begin to prepare its succession, the White House also has its work cut out for it. Already at the economic level, since it must find how to finance the arrival of the 2018 world champion. But also at the sporting level. How will Carlo Ancelotti, who has extended his time on the Merengue bench until 2026, integrate the French international into his team? French Football Weekly offers four different schemes, with Kylian Mbappé but also Alphonso Davies, who could join Casa Blanca this summer.

In 4-3-3 with Mbappé at the forefront

It’s a system that Kylian Mbappé knows well, in the French team as well as at PSG, and which he is very fond of. Except that unlike what Didier Deschamps favors among the Blues, where Olivier Giroud occupies the center, the former Bondy prodigy would undoubtedly be forced to play up front. He doesn’t really appreciate this role, which Luis Enrique entrusted to him in Paris in recent weeks. But with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo on the sides, Carlo Ancelotti would have no other choice if he opted for a 4-3-3 arrangement.

In 4-4-2 with Bellingham on one side

If the transalpine technician opted for a 4-4-2, as he sometimes does this season, Kylian Mbappé could form an explosive offensive duo with Vinicius Jr. This scheme would allow the Merengues to stabilize their midfield with Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga in front of the defense, while Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham could move out onto the right and left flanks. But given the incredible performance of the England international this season, would his potential not be wasted on one side?

In 4-3-1-2 with Bellingham in 10

This system would potentially follow from the previous one. In the offensive phase, Real Madrid could play in a 4-3-1-2 (or 4-4-2 diamond) with Jude Bellingham at the heart of the game, behind Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé. And upon losing the ball, the England international would find his place in the left lane to form a 4-4-2, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde sliding to the right. Attractive on paper, because this device would concentrate Madrid’s main offensive assets in the axis.

In 4-2-3-1 with Mbappé alone at the forefront

Like the previous 4-3-1-2, this 4-2-3-1 would have the advantage of bringing together Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé in the center of the field and developing their technical relationship. The corridors would be animated by Vinicius Jr. on the left and Rodrygo (or Federico Valverde) on the right, while the midfield would be controlled by Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga. A very tempting but perhaps risky option, because Alphonso Davies and Dani Carvajal would find themselves a little too exposed on the opposing counterattacks.
