The difficulty of deciding who to play for Real Madrid, which has many star players, does not upset Ancelotti. Training performance is very important for Ancelotti. Moreover, these players will bring all kinds of success to the team. Real Madrid will scare every rival team next year
Real Madrid will become a very fierce club because the president always make sure he has the best signing of the season. Previous transfer window, he sign Jude Bellingham but now, he's settled for Kylian Mbappe who's an outstanding player for his former club and will do better in Real Madrid. Los Blancos have already passed the highlights of winning more major titles in coming season. Real Madrid have experienced and young players and they've play collectively to accomplish their targets. Real Madrid headcoach, Carlo Ancelotti knows the most selectable decision that will be comfortable for his club and we know it's really his priority to ensure he's taking home major titles.

After Real Madrid succeeded in bringing in Mbappe for free from PSG, this will further increase competition on the front lines, he is certain to immediately get a guarantee to fill the main squad. Joselu will be the second option for Real Madrid, he will spend more time on the bench next season. Real Madrid which has a busy schedule, provides a breath of fresh air for Joselu, Ancelotti will rotate in several matches which will give Joselu a playing slot.
Joselu was the hero of Real Madrid victory several times, he managed to change the outcome of the match after playing as a substitute. He is an experienced player, but his age makes it difficult for him to compete with younger players.
I don’t know, it seems to me that everything will be fine, the basis of the attack will be Vinicius and Mbappe, Rodrigo may need to move a little lower to Vinnicius, everything will depend on what formation Ancelotti will play with. Don’t forget that Cross left the team and this place is in the middle line, he will need to be replaced by someone. Whatever it is, it’s better to have a problem like this when you have a lot of players and you decide who to give the opportunity to play, than like PSG when they were left without a striker and you’re thinking about who to replace him with.
Toni Kroos will leave the team. He will retire and whoever replaces him will try to pull the team together. Ancelotti may be considering a few options for this. In my opinion, Kroos was more important to Ancelotti than Vinicius because he could manage the team like a maestro and create critical effects with his passes that could turn even the worst matches. The important thing for Real Madrid now will be who they will fill this void with.

Ancelotti seem like a person who is not bothered about the number of stars available but with the current squad depth i think he will be quite bothered, there are lots of players already and with more joining up with the squad soon and we don’t know yet how many players will be added during the summer transfer window with only few players leaving so managing them could be a problem. Selection would have to be based on performance that means every player would have to fight for their spot.

No, with so many great players at Real Madrid, Ancelotti will be more comfortable to choose players and provide rotation to maintain fitness. In fact, I'm sure he would be happy if he had 22 players who have great quality in every position. With that condition, of course, the opportunity to get many titles is increasingly open. Just look when he has players playing in the Euros, of course Ancelotti will feel happy because he is helped to maintain the fitness of the players.
It’s not as easy as it may seem especially when all the players are performing well, Having many players is good in case of injuries but selecting a starting lineup may be difficult. All the players joining Madrid so far are talented players that cannot be benched else it would look as if the talent are being wasted. Player like Arda Guller and Endric are great talents that needs players time to develop into stars but i trust Ancelotti to manage them all properly.

Ancelotti is definitely thinking about the best tactics and might return to the 4-3-3 formation. In this setup, Vinicius would play on the left, Mbappe in the center, and Rodrygo on the right wing. This could be Madrid's lineup for next season. However, can Madrid really afford to replace Toni Kroos, who has been central to their playing style? A new transition in tactics under Ancelotti's supervision could be great, but Kroos will be missed. Still, I believe Madrid has quality backups for every position on the field.
The front line will certainly be filled by Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo, these three players will be Ancelotti's mainstay to face competition in next season's competition. Ancelotti also has a talented reserve player in the front line, Arda Guler is in his best form, he has experienced significant development since recovering from injury. Joselu can still be relied on even though he is over 30 years old, he always performs well when he is given playing time and has been the decider for Real Madrid's victory several times.

Regarding Toni Kroos replacement, Ancelotti already has the ideal replacement, Bellingham will be the coach's choice to lead the midfield. Bellingham has succeeded in proving himself capable of being a player who can be placed in several different positions, his quality is above average because his goal scoring instinct is very high. Real Madrid still has several quality midfielders, the club management's decision to extend Modric's contract is considered very appropriate because he is a player who can guide younger players.

Some of the best players like Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Benzema etc.
chose Arabia as their last place before retiring, it was a choice and every player had their own choice.

Ronaldo and Benzema are nearing the end of their careers and they made the right choice for their personal careers by going to Arabia. But I can't say the same for Neymar. Neymar was 31 when he moved to Arabia and I don't think he was at the end of his career. He was just in the maturity phase. I think 31 is an early age for great footballers to end their careers. If we take the example of Luka Modric, he is still giving recitals. Neymar rejected the option to become a legend and if Neymar had stayed at PSG, he could have had great success with Mbappe. But he succumbed to personal ambition and money. There can be values that cannot be given up just for money.

Tony Kroos position was handed over completely to Valverde so that next season he will wear the number 8 jersey. Carlo Ancelotti carried out many experiments throughout this season, rotating Valverde until finally the midfielder position was entrusted to him with Bellingham and Modric. Imao as long as Madrid midfield is solid, the front attackers Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo will focus on building attacks.

This summer it seems that Real Madrid will still bring in several additional players, and this will also be accompanied by the sale of several reserve players whose contributions have not yet been utilized by Ancelotti. For Real Madrid next season the composition will be much fresher, filled with young players, except for the back line which will still be guarded by Carvajal, Rudiger and Militao.

For me, I believe that it does not really matter which strategies Ancellotti uses because the structures of his attackers will remain the same. Firstly, Mbappe will play as a central striker;secondly, Vinicius will play on the left side; and thirdly, Rodrygo will continue to play on the right side. 

Vini (LW), Mbappe (ST), and Rodrygo (RW) formed an explosive combination on the field. It makes no difference what strategy you choose, such as 433, 4231, or 4141. Their positions will remain unchanged. There will be no rotation until one of them gets injured. 

Although Vini, Mbappe, and Rodrygo can be swapped out, Ancellotti will always remain in the best lineup. In the end, they will keep playing in their best positions. 



Eh, you asked whether Madrid can replace Tony Krooss; therefore, I'd say Madrid has no problem with Kroos' decision to leave the club. 
Are you forgetting this?

Whatever they decides to play I guess it will still end up for the team just to get the results coming and one thing am certain about their manager is actually getting the jobs done because that's what really matter, I believe he can even convert mbappe to a direct striker just as they did to CR7 beside he is a versatile player and I think he can definitely adjust to whatever position he is given.

Let's forget about his age, Joselu is a good player but you guys forget something about how Ancelotti has been rotating his players. Since before now when Madrid hasn't gotten Mbappe let's say since the beginning of last campaign, has the coach been showing any sign of giving this guy Joselu a better opportunity? He always sit on the bench or sometimes he plays Joselu around 80-85mins just for him to kill the time, sometimes Ancelotti doesn't even play the guy so what's the assurance that he'll have a playing time (base on swapping the playing) now that they have Mbappe? To me Joselu is just there and there's no special reason for him to be there, if Ancelotti wants to do any sub he can even bring in a defender or a midfielder instead of Joselu.

Ancelotti did not give him a chance to start even after his goals in the semi-final against Bayern, so it can be said that Ancelotti is not changing his working strategy and there will always be a place for Joselu on the bench. Moreover, with the arrival of Mbappe, this situation will worsen, I doubt that Mbappe or Rodrigo will be on the bench. But apparently Joselu is happy with this, he goes on the field for twenty minutes, scores several goals, but he plays in Real Madrid, everyone makes their own choice.

The last news I read was the option to make Joselu permanent until June 30 to activate the clause. After that, I haven't received the latest news regarding this 34 year old player. IMO, Madrid or Ancelotti still need a pure striker and Joselu is that option. Even though it looks like Joselu won't have much playing time, it seems that staying at Madrid is the highest point of his career at his current age. However, he can still contribute to Los Blancos. Even though he was only a cover player, Joselu made a big contribution, especially when they overthrew Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

Well, as you said, it seems very likely that Joselu would be very happy if Real Madrid made him permanent at the Santiago Bernabeu. Even though there is now Mbappe, who will most likely always be the main starter in Ancelotti's squad, this apparently does not prevent Joselu from remaining at the Santiago Bernabeu. After all, his role will be quite crucial as a substitute player with the schedule that Madrid will carry out in the new season. Another option, Ancelotti can use various systems and strategies according to what he wants to implement for his team's squad with the available player resources. By the way, I am quite sure of the previous news, that Joselu will enjoy his role at Real Madrid and that is his wish and decision.

Good thing you saw it the way I'm seeing it, to me that's disrespectful and I can't say he should be too comfortable with his (Joselu) situation at Madrid, I don't to see him as pawn in that squad but that's how it looks like. Let's say he's there for the achievement because no club stands a chance of getting all Madrid have gotten and will get in the nearest future. I'm even scared of Rodrygo getting less time of play since Mbappe is now part of the team, Ancelotti's plan might change and it will affect Rodrygo too, but let's see what will happen next season.
Rodrygo's position is very insecure at Real Madrid and for the future of his career it is not good so now there are rumors that he will leave Real Madrid but apart from that Joselu is also quite an important player for Real Madrid even though Mbappe comes but Ancelotti also has to think about it about replacements when something happens to the main players and the decision to give Joselu a new contract I think is very correct.

Like I said before Rodrygo's position can be affected but since leaving the team is what has been on his mind then I feel is a better choice because one has to drop for Mbappe, between Vinicius Jr Bellingham and the man Rodrygo to create space for their new man Mbappe, they can't be having 4 of them and expect one of them to be happy to stay.
Rodrygo has been a starter and now might be the time for him to come from the bench or not to start at all just like Joselu, so it would be nice of him (Rodrygo) to leave because we never know what might happen after all the hand writing is written bold on the wall and as for Joselu staying or leave is a choice for him to make after the experience he had with the team last campaign.

For me, i think, Manchester United is serious about rebuilding its roster for the upcoming season, and it is starting by looking for a new midfielder. Manchester United has made an initial offer to sign Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, and I believe the rumour that the club will sell Bruno Fernandez is true. Manchester United made a 24.5 million euro offer to buy Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, but Barcelona turned it down. Barcelona is still unwilling to exchange their young talents for financial benefit. Barcelona views its young players as long-term assets, therefore Manchester United will consider alternative choices for a new midfielder in the squad.

Manchester United has long wanted to sign Barcelona players, but they have always failed, barcelona always refused manchester united's offer. As a result, Manchester United must move on and seek other midfielders to join the team, and i think, there is a lot of capable midfielders to be recruited as a part of united's future roster.
So far we have always assumed that Manchester United has a bad squad that makes Ten Hag have to rebuild his squad, but if we have seen that actually the squad owned by Ten Hag is currently filled with the best players who have a champion mentality before they joined Manchester United, with the existing squad as it is today, it seems that ten Hag only needs to optimize the strategy and also the game scheme that It has been applied so far so that it can make the players bring out their best performance in playing.

Manchester United have retained ten hag and they will also fully support ten hag with a big fund in the summer, Manchester United is rumored to be eager to recruit Fermin from Manchester United, as a talented young midfielder of course Fermin was able to show quite good performance after he was promoted to Barcelona's first squad, reportedly Barcelona have rejected a 30 million euro offer from Manchester United and Barcelona want to keep Fermin unless There is indeed a higher offer.

his performance last season which was quite impressive as a super sub player and the option to rotate players when the schedule is busy then of course this is a good situation for Madrid and also for Joselu because even though several other clubs want Joselu, it seems that Joselu would prefer to stay at the Bernabeu rather than looking for other club options because of his love for Madrid.
I do believe that's the smartest decision for Madrid. Trying to look for a backup striker that you can rely on is quite difficult nowadays, not to mention the options are limited. Based on what I've read the market for strikers is quite limited, so it would be a gamble to find one who is younger or around Mbappe's age. If you already have someone who proves that he can score goals in decisive moments why would you need to gamble again? Having too many players who compete in a position is not always bad, especially if one of them is quite cheap. CMIIW.
mbape is the perfect attacker any good coach that's interested in winning trophies would want to be on his side. Dude is young, has the pace, is matured up there and has a personality that strengthen his team mate. You can't see many of those kind of players like that. One thing about the Madrid team is that almost all the players are world class and experience players that knows what's football and that's why even when they are loosing In the 80th minutes, they keep fighting and believing that they won't just equalize but that they can still win the match. Without mbape, the real Madrid team will still do very well but to strengthen things up and put a lot of fear in your opponents mind, you've got to be ready in all angles and put up the fight. The team want to be balance on and off the bench and that's why with the dozens of useful players they have, the coach isn't relenting in his effort to recruit more world class players.
The fact is that Real Madrid can actually do without Mbappe,  they have been playing for two seasons now without a striker and they keep winning trophies,  Mbappe is just an additional advantage to the squad,  with him the team will balance well, they struggle a bit without a striker, but now everyone will be playing in their positions of talent. June won't be use as top 9 again,  because of Mbappe,  but if the coach want to have a second choice striker,  I think he needs to go get a player older than Mbappe with more experience. Because if they get a player that's much younger than Mbappe,  he won't play any game, that's the fact, he will end up warming bench. Real Madrid is a world class club. Only classic players that they will consider in the team.

True about the many competitions Madrid has but if we have to count how many games Joselu will start or play it won't be an impressive number starting from next season and him joining as a supporting striker it seems like he's not even included in the main squad, he should be playing with the Madrid B team if is so. But still on still Madrid isn't a club to be in while you have Mbappe joining as a striker, that's if you're playing same position, you'll find it hard to even make the sub list.
After Real Madrid succeeded in bringing in Mbappe for free from PSG, this will further increase competition on the front lines, he is certain to immediately get a guarantee to fill the main squad. Joselu will be the second option for Real Madrid, he will spend more time on the bench next season. Real Madrid which has a busy schedule, provides a breath of fresh air for Joselu, Ancelotti will rotate in several matches which will give Joselu a playing slot.
Joselu was the hero of Real Madrid victory several times, he managed to change the outcome of the match after playing as a substitute. He is an experienced player, but his age makes it difficult for him to compete with younger players.
If I'm Joselu or I'm to advise him, I will tell him to look for another club this summer. A player like him shouldn't be considered as a second choice. He has the quality to be the main striker in any other club. Just as you have stated above, he has saved real Madrid several times and it was remarkable what he did against Bayern Munich in the semi finals yet he wasn't considered for a starting place in the finals. With the arrival of Mbappe things will get worse for him as he will fall further behind the picking order of Carlos Ancelotti. So if he wants a regular playing time next season he should seek it elsewhere as it's clear enough that his has lost his place in the Madrid squad, unless he want to only be featuring in the Copa del Ray or being brought into play in the 85th minutes and 90 plus. He has got the quality to establish himself elsewhere, so it's left for him to make his choice.

Joselu was needed when other forward players had difficulty scoring goals and in the against Bayern Munich or against Dortmund he was included to make a difference up front.
Ancelotti understands when Joselu needs to be played and I think his strategy is always successful when placing players, that's why I see Ancelotti as having the best ability when looking at the potential results of his players' games.

Mbappe will definitely be a core player for Real Madrid and I am also sure that when needed Joselu will still be played.
There are many options that Ancelotti can make for the front line positions and that should be good for them.
The combination of several players will make it easier for Ancelotti to rotate if needed so that Real Madrid's strength will still look strong.
