Real Madrid Legend warns Mbappe and Vinicius

Former Real Madrid player and sporting director Predrag Mijatovic has issued a warning to the club regarding Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

Mbappe enjoyed a standout debut season at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring 44 goals in 59 appearances across all competitions for the Spaniards.0

Vini, on the other hand, had a relatively underwhelming season in front of goal, scoring just 22 times in 58 appearances across all competitions.

According to Mijatović, the Brazilian star’s dip in form may have led to a decline in the strong support he once enjoyed from the fans just a few years ago.

"When you have to renew the team and look for the new Modric, Kroos and Casemiro… you can’t remake the team in one summer. The team has to make several important decisions this summer,” he told the media.

“If Vinicius, Mbappe or Rodrygo are not happy and do not feel the support of the club, they cannot perform. I don’t know if the fans are as in love with Vinicius as they were two or three years ago, or if he has as much respect for them as he did then.

"I keep saying it, accumulating great players, with a lot of market value, is always counterproductive. You have an asset that’s worth a lot, but you don’t get the most out of it.

“As the months go by, the player isn’t happy, and you don’t know if you will be able to sell him the following year."
