Instead, Jude Bellingham is likely to move back from the number 10 position into central midfield, with Mbappe joining Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in the final third of the field.

However, according to ESPN Argentina, Real Madrid are looking to sign a centre-back, with the club making contact with Romero's camp to discuss the possibility of a switch to Bernabeu.
