Henry forecasts seven-year Real Madrid domination with Mbappe’s arrival

Thierry Henry has voiced his belief that Real Madrid’s potential signing of Kylian Mbappe could lead to a prolonged era of dominance in both European and Spanish football, spanning approximately six to seven years.

With Mbappe’s imminent departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the current season, it is widely anticipated that he will join Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Henry suggests that Mbappe’s arrival at the Bernabeu might signify the commencement of a period where Real Madrid asserts their supremacy in the footballing world.

In his recent chat with CBS Sports, Henry said, “If you look at it properly, if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid they will have a team that can dominate Europe and La Liga for maybe six or seven years because they will all be young, Mbappe, Vinicius [Junior], Rodrygo, [Federico] Valverde, [Aurelien] Tchouameni.”

The Arsenal legend also praised the Los Blancos for their timely acquisition of players.

Henry added, “What they do very well is to know when to get rid of players. I don’t mean players that it’s logical to get rid of. I mean it was time for Cristiano Ronaldo.

“It was time for Casemiro. It was time for Mesut Ozil. It was time for [Raphael] Varane, who I think was out with a knee problem.

“There’s one thing you have to give Real Madrid a lot of credit for, and that’s the ability they have to make sure they build a team by keeping the old guard to make sure they can pass on to the guys coming in, to the youngsters they sign,” he concluded.
