Real Madrid is abuzz with anticipation as they prepare for the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe, with plans underway to accommodate the French superstar's preferred playing position. Mbappe's reported agreement on a five-year deal has sparked excitement among fans as the World Cup winner looks to make his mark at the Bernabeu after his stint at PSG.

As Real Madrid strategizes to integrate Mbappe into Carlo Ancelotti's star-studded squad, adjustments are being considered to optimize the team's performance. This includes potential position changes, such as moving Jude Bellingham to a deeper midfield role to accommodate Mbappe's preferred forward line position slightly on the left.

Bellingham, who has excelled in an advanced No. 10 role this season, showcasing his versatility and goal-scoring prowess, is expected to adapt seamlessly to his new position. The Englishman's ability to link up with Mbappe promises to add a new dimension to Real Madrid's attacking play, further bolstering their formidable lineup.
