Real Madrid has received a cautionary message about the potential signing of Kylian Mbappe as the arrival of a star player does not guarantee success warns former Madrid player Ivan Helguera. The Spanish giants are reportedly nearing a deal for the French forward who has informed Paris Saint-Germain about his departure when his contract ends. While Mbappe’s signing could herald a new Galactico era, Helguera emphasizes the importance of avoiding past mistakes and maintaining a balanced squad for consistent success.

Madrid’s current squad includes notable players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni along with experienced stars Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Despite the talent, Madrid failed to secure La Liga or the Champions League last season. The club is expected to compete for the Spanish league title this season and potentially secure their 15th European crown while negotiating Mbappe’s arrival in the summer transfer window.
