If Mbappe joins Real Madrid then it will certainly be very difficult to stop their progress. Madrid will indeed be left behind by several senior players, but Ancelotti already has suitable replacements for several of the lines he left behind. It must be admitted that Perez is quite skilled in determining the direction of policy for Madrid. He is really serious about looking for talent and who the team needs.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, Madrid's main rival, has appointed Flick as the new coach, he is required to be able to take charge of El Real. But with the comparison of the Blaugrana squad with Madrid, Flick is required to work hard to overcome this because Los Blancos will be very strong if Mbappe comes.
Xavi knows this obvious fact and that why he said the next Barcelona coach will suffer and I don't expect Hansi to be able to get a trophy next season probably except barca can fork out good money to get players because aside from some Xavi poor decisions which i thinkwas mainly cause from his ego, I think he tried especially during those injuries crisis which I think may occur next season especially out of fatigue because of these players don't have a good substitute for them to get rest.
Also through Xavi it's now clear that Barcelona are blessed with so many talented youngsters from their academy and I hope Hansi Flink can do a good job grooming them
If Hansi Flick produces another player like Yamal, Barcelona will have a very good basic squad. I believe that if one more is added to the 3 strong young and talented Spanish players along with Yamal, Pedri and Gavi, Barcelona will reach the desired level with a few transfer reinforcements. They do not have another chance to compete with Real Madrid because Real Madrid will have a squad that does not have the problem of spending high money, is made up of quality and young players, and will definitely have a better squad next year than this year. Flick should choose the right transfers for Barça.
Promoting young players from the La Masia academy could be an alternative solution, which could overcome the financial crisis currently being faced by Barcelona. Hansi Flick does not have many choices when the transfer window opens, because Barcelona management will not be able to provide a large budget, the option of loaning players or recruiting free transfer players may still be explored by Barcelona.
There is always a risk in the choices made, one of which is sacking Xavi and appointing Hansi Flick as manager. The former Bayern manager definitely needs a lot of time to adapt and fix Barcelona shortcomings with their limited financial conditions. Meanwhile, the challenge to win the La Liga trophy next season will certainly be much more difficult than previous seasons, where Madrid now is continuing its Los Galacticos project.
If Los Blancos succeeds in recruiting Mbappe in this transfer window, then Madrid will not only be dominant in La Liga but also in the Champions League. Barcelona automatically needs extra work to be able to surpass Madrid as its eternal rival. Hansi Flick certainly understands the situation he will face. Building a young squad containing from La Masia products will take a lot of time, but I think it is the best way to give birth to a golden generation.
