On the other hand, Jude Bellingham isn't the only players who fill the forward center of Real Madrid this season. Joselu didn't contribute as much as Bellingham but we should also consider him as the best player who helped Real Madrid to win most of their important games this season. In the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, Jude Bellingham was unable to score goals, Joselu was the player who sent Real Madrid to the Champions League final. If Real Madrid did not sign any young striker next season, I hope they should give Joselu another one more year at the club.
Joselu will most likely lose his position as a striker because it seems like Mbappe is being prepared to fill that room. When Mbappe arrived, it was clearly impossible to create a situation where Mbappe and Vinicius Jr were fighting for position, and it was also impossible to shift Mbappe to the wing-back position. So the most feasible thing is to play Mbappe in the center of the front with a 4-3-3 formation which is also often played by Real Madrid.
It's nothing new for Real Madrid to play out that scenario because in the past Real Madrid once placed one of its world-class right players in the central midfielder position. At that time Real Madrid already had Figo who was always the main star on the right wing. So when Real Madrid signed Beckham, he had to be willing to play in the midfield, and it turns out he is quite good at playing in that position.
