Real Madrid’s new head coach Jose Mourinho says Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr and Jude Bellingham can work together in the same team. The outlets report that Mourinho believes the trio is not “incompatible” and that they can all be used successfully under his setup.
Mourinho acknowledges that creating the right tactical balance will be challenging, especially given the way the players have operated in previous systems. Several reports frame his comments as a response to questions about whether the stars’ roles could clash or whether the team’s structure would need major adjustment. While the publications vary in emphasis—some focusing on Mourinho’s confidence and others on the difficulty of achieving balance—they all describe the same core message: he expects the three to coexist and contribute in the same squad.
The reporting also links the comments to Mourinho’s broader early approach to managing Real Madrid’s attacking options, suggesting he is working on integrating elite talent into a coherent strategy. Overall, the statements present cautious optimism rather than immediate confirmation of a specific starting configuration.
