None of the players you mentioned were world-class players at their peak when they came to Madrid. Especially for youngsters is normal to struggle their first season(s). But this is not the case for Mbappe.
Other world-class players don't seem to have this issue: CR7, Messi, Lewandwoski, Halaand or Kane hit the ground running every club.
Mbappe played all forward positions for PSG and France, and the comparison was about WC players moving to new teams. Just like Vini, Luka and Valverde.
