Real Madrid's pre-season progresses steadily after the first two friendlies played by those led by Carlo Ancelotti. One of the main protagonists of the tour in the United States is undoubtedly Vinicius, who decided to wear the historic number 7 shirt of Real Madrid, a decision about which the Spanish press consulted him in the middle of the preseason.

The Brazilian winger is experiencing the best years of his career so far since the arrival of Carleto Ancelotti. The strategist knew how to get the most out of Vinicius's characteristics, for which he has well deserved the 7 from Madrid. When asked about wearing Cristiano Ronaldo's number, Vini said that he saw all of Bicho's games at Merengue and that he is an idol for him, so it is a dream to wear the shirt with which he marked the history of the club.

Vinicius Junior became Karim Benzema's second guitar for the last three seasons. Now that the Frenchman has decided to accept the millions from Saudi Arabia, it will be Vini who remains as Real Madrid's top figure unless Kylian Mbappé arrives. This is why the Brazilian winger prepares 110% in the preseason.

What will happen to Vini if Mbappé arrives?

A priori, there would be nothing about the arrival of Mbappé that could overshadow Vinicius, except that logically the Frenchman will be the most visible face of the team. However, beyond this small detail, Vinicius would not only not be affected, but would be further enhanced by Mbappé's arrival at the White House.
