The arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid could not remain without consequences. Indeed, while the Merengue club managed to recruit the French striker on a free transfer last summer after several years of twists and turns, this movement could precipitate the departure of another star from the Madrid locker room, Vinicius Jr. It is at least the opinion of Walid Acherchour, consultant for RMC Sport.
In the show Generation Afterthis Tuesday evening, the French commentator raised the possibility that the Brazilian striker would consider leaving the Spanish capital if he were to fall into second place behind Mbappé in the Real hierarchy. According to him, such a situation would be difficult to bear for Vinicius, already marked by the disappointment of his second place in the Ballon d’Or, behind Rodri.
“If I am Vinicius, I will leave this club”
“For me, Vinicius will actually leave at the end of the season,” Acherchour first launched, before continuing: “ If you are explaining to me that in fact the president of Real Madrid, with a player who marked the recent history of his club by scoring a double last year while he was in a transition year, because he didn’t take Mbappé and he played with Joselu and Bellingham as a false number 9, saving him the season because Courtois was injured… And although this guy will always take second place, in addition stories of racism and that today in the world of football we are sending him a message which is: you can do anything in Champions League matches, you will not get the Golden Ball. In fact, if I am Vinicius, I will leave this club.
However, for his part, the main party has never hidden his wish to stay in Madrid for the long term. Following the Merengue’s victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on October 22, Vinicius reaffirmed his attachment to the club: “I want to stay at Real Madrid all my life. We want to win the Champions League again. We believed in ourselves. We know that at home, with our supporters, anything can happen”declared the number 7 of the Whites, author of a hat-trick that evening.
