Mbappé arrives but in exchange the painful exit Real Madrid would have to face, the star who would play for Liverpool

Football 365 and Nacional reports that Kylian Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid could cause the Spanish giants to lose Rodrygo to Liverpool this summer. The club president, Florentino Perez, doesn't want to lose Rodrygo, but he may have to, as his possible sale would bring over $150 million to Real Madrid. The concern is the player's adaption into the front three. Vinicius Jr. plays as a left winger for Real Madrid, and Mbappé prefers to play in that position. The French star would have to become the striker of the team to make the team work next season, but Rodrygo may be upset with the situation of both Mbappé and Vini fighting for the left spot in the attack.

Rodrygo also feels comfortable in the left winger position and has shined whenever Vinicius Jr. is out due to injury. With Mbappé present, Rodrygo may never get the chance to play in that position again unless both Vini and Mbappé are out injured. Rodrygo's last game as the main left attacker was against Athletic Bilbao where he scored a brace at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Rodrygo's stats with Real Madrid this season in all competitions is 17 goals and eight assists in 45 appearances. Rodrygo has played as a second striker this season and often on the right, where he scored 14 goals. Rodrygo showed effectiveness on the left again in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu. The game ended 3-3, and they even scored a goal coming from the left side with pace.
