Ahead of what promises to be an exciting 2024-25 campaign, the reigning Spanish and European champions are bent on bolstering an already formidable squad with some key additions.

Notable among the players set to move to the Spanish capital are Brazilian wonderkid, Endrick Felipe, and 2018 World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappe.

Just as they did with the signing of Vinicius and Rodrygo, the White Angels stole a march on their competitors to secure the services of Endrick, who will join Madrid after this summer's Copa America.

But sharing his perspective on the prospective purchases, Henry reckons that the aforementioned duo are 'luxury' buys and, thus, the club does not need them.

"Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League without Mbappe or Endrick. They don't need them, it's a luxury," the former Barcelona icon said, as cited by MadridZone. "That's what Real Madrid is," he ended.

When will Mbappe's Real Madrid be announced?

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mbappe's highly anticipated move to La Liga champions, Real Madrid, is expected to be officially confirmed early this week.

According to reports from Spain, Mbappe will be introduced as a Madrid player on June 3, and a grand unveiling ceremony is also planned.
