Kylian Mbappe has reportedly agreed to 'play as a centre-forward' for Real Madrid, should his move to the LaLiga giants materialise later this summer.
The 25-year-old looks set to depart Paris Saint-Germain in the summer after a six-year spell at the Ligue 1 outfit, and is edging ever closer to a move to Real Madrid, ending what will be a long-standing transfer saga with the Spanish outfit.
There are some concerns though over how Carlo Ancelotti will structure his team, should Mbappe join, with it perhaps impossible to drop their star left-winger Vinicius Jnr, while Rodrygo, on the opposing wing, has been in excellent form for Madrid this season.
Notably, Madrid currently don't have a permanent centre forward on their books, with Joselu, who is on loan from Espanyol, being their sole option up top.
But according to AS, Mbappe, whose favoured position is on the left wing, will 'accept the challenge of playing as Real Madrid's No 9'.
