Now that Kylian Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid is almost confirmed, we can have a look at the lineup options that Carlo Ancelotti may use next season to include the French star in the starting eleven.

Option 1: This one is pure rock and roll. Speed, muscle, and instinct. It’s the prototype formation in motion until Jude Bellingham landed. The famous 4-3-3. Here, Bellingham will not be close to the opposition penalty area, and either Camavinga or Tchouameni will be left out.

Option 2: This one will hurt Rodrygo. The rest of the names remain the same: Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Bellingham, Mbappé, and Vinicius. However, their positioning on the pitch changes.

Option 3: This is Plan C. It has the most defensive coverage due to the positioning of the pieces. A 4-4-2 formation that has been gaining momentum during the current season.

Whichever plan is selected, a combination of all of these plus others is more likely to be used during the 2024–25 campaign.
