Carvajal addresses rivalry concerns among Mbappe, Vini, Bellingham, others

Dani Carvajal has said the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid won't lead to "jealousy" or other problems in the dressing room.

"It seems like it's a possibility that he could come at the end of the season," Carvajal said.  "The best players have to play for Madrid, and he's one of the best.

"It would be good for LaLiga, for [Spanish] football. If great players come to our league -- to our team, even better -- but [Robert] Lewandowski went to Barcelona, and he's a top player. It makes our league grow, our football is better and that's good for everyone."

"Jealousy, no," Carvajal said when asked if Mbappe's signing could spark a negative reaction from some teammates.

"It's down to those people who've been at the club longer to mak sure that everyone pulls in the same direction in the dressing room.

"When somebody gets a bit out of line, you grab them by the ear and put them back on track. That's what the veterans have to do in a group. And the youngsters we've got now are very professional. [Eduardo] Camavinga, [Aurélien] Tchouaméni, Vini, Rodrygo, they're great lads."
