This is according to Eduardo Inda, who told El Chiringuito (via OK Diario) that Vinicius Junior could be the one to go, given that he and Mbappe occupy the same position on the pitch.

“If Mbappe comes, someone will have to leave because we have to make money. In addition, there are doubled positions, unless he plays as a 9, but Endrick will be there who would also be a problem.

“I’ve always said that there’s a great candidate to come out and that’s information. I said it before Christmas and they made a revolution for me. You have to sell to someone because this is an income statement. I’m talking about Vinicius. If Mbappe were to come, someone has to leave and a player for whom you would receive a lot of money is the Brazilian.”

It’s very hard to see Real Madrid willing to part ways with Vinicius. The 23-year-old is a hugely popular figure, and has been getting better and better over the last few years. If they can keep him and Mbappe, and play them together effectively, that would surely be the best solution for all.
