Kylian Mbappe's summer switch to Real Madrid from Pairs Saint Germain is already showing alarming signs.
The France international is expected to join Carlo Ancelotti's side later this summer - ending one of the most talked about transfer sagas of the 21st century.
After spending the last seven years at the Parc des Princes, Mbappe announced his intentions to leave Paris in a video statement just a few weeks ago.
However, his move to the Bernabeu could bring additional problems in the dressing room.

With the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo already competing to be the star man in Spain, L’Équipe believes Mbappe's could alter the mood in camp.
The report adds there are 'mild concerns' surrounding the impact of the Frenchman’s arrival, given his status in the game.
Mbappe has already netted a whopping 288 career goals and his introduction could force some players to feel threatened.
At just 25, the former Monaco man is almost guaranteed to feature heavily and therefore summer exits have been touted at Madrid.

One former player who agrees with the sentiment is William Gallas, who believes departures are coming for Ancelotti's side.
Set to boast a plethora of talent across the board, the former Arsenal man doesn't envisage how every player will be able to remain happy upon Mbappe's arrival.
"I don't know what is going to happen when Kylian Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, because playing down the middle is not his position," he recently told Genting Casino.

"I would not be surprised to see a front three of Vinicius Jr, Mbappe and Rodrygo, with Mbappe down the middle, then the next season they sell Vinicius Jr.
"I don't think Mbappe playing down the middle will restrict Jude Bellingham. When he was at Dortmund, Bellingham did not play as high up the pitch as he does for Real Madrid, and he was still a great player."
