Real Madrid Questions Future of Mbappé, Vinicius and Bellingham Amid Team Concerns

Real Madrid’s management is starting to seriously question whether Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham can form the long-term foundation of the team’s attack, journalist Ramon Alvarez reports.

Despite their immense individual talent, the three players haven’t yet developed the necessary chemistry on the pitch. This lack of cohesion is cited as one of the reasons the club has gone without a major trophy in the past two seasons.

All three showcased impressive performances at the 2026 World Cup. Mbappé finished as the tournament’s top scorer and took home the Bronze Ball, Bellingham led England to third place, and Vinicius was among Brazil’s top performers before their exit.

The biggest uncertainties now revolve around Vinicius’ future. His contract runs until 2027, but renewal talks have stalled due to disagreements over financial terms.

If the sides don’t reach an agreement, Real Madrid is ready to consider selling the winger this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer later.

New Madrid coach José Mourinho is pushing for a quick resolution to avoid added tension in the dressing room and to bring clarity about the team’s direction.

While Mbappé, Vinicius, and Bellingham are seen as three of the world’s best players, Real Madrid’s leadership remains unconvinced their individual brilliance is translating into the collective success expected at Santiago Bernabéu.
