It seems to me that Mbappe may well play as a pure central striker and the center of the field will belong entirely to Vinny, Bellingham, Rodrigo, Valverde +. Vinnie is on the left, Rodrigo is on the right and Bellingham is under the striker (he has already shown that he can do the job of a striker without any problems). It seems to me that Real’s squad is quite flexible/universal and Ancelotti can easily implement the required schemes.

Mbappe rarely played as a winger rather than a central striker. His situation at Real Madrid is clear. He will be replacing Joselu, who may return to Espanyol. I'd still hoped madrid to keep joselu instead of send him back to espanyol.

The numbers from mbappe stated it all.

Despite the fact that Mbappe can play LW or RW, he prefers to play as a central striker.

This is why Real Madrid does not require a pure striker. Having Mbappe will be extremely beneficial if one of Madrid's wingers becomes hurt.

Ancellotti was fully aware that Madrid struggled last season due to injuries. Ancellotti is currently developing a flexible strategy.

It is believed that Mbappe likes to play as a left winger/striker who is under the striker (false nine, to be honest I don’t know what it’s called correctly in English). Therefore, the transition to the position of a pure striker may require special efforts from Mbappe, but in the end, a roughly similar transformation when moving to Real happened with his idol - Ronaldo, so Mbappe will be able to repeat this path.

I'd like Mbappe to play in a diverse position, not only focus on one position. Importantly, mbappe can be served as a temporary backup if one of his teammates gets injured. It reminds me of when Vini and Rodrygo were injured, and Real Madrid had no good wingers to replace them, except brahim diaz.
Mbappe's statistics, on the other hand, demonstrate that he continues to focus on playing as a center striker, which demands him to put in more effort. That was also the primary reason Real Madrid signed him as a striker, not as winger. All in all, mbappe can still provide a temporary solution for real madrid once one of their wingers were injured.
