3 players who can wear Cristiano Ronaldo's vacated number 7 jersey

#2 Eden Hazard or Kylian Mbappe

Both players had a blockbuster World Cup

Both players had been linked with a blockbuster move to Real Madrid even before Ronaldo moved to Juventus. If either of them join, there is a good probability he will get a chance to wear the iconic number 7 shirt.

Hazard will be the cheaper of the two, considering Mbappe's age and the menace he was at the World Cup. Last season, Hazard completed the most number of dribbles, second only to Messi in Europe's top 5 leagues. He can be the perfect fit for Real Madrid, playing on the left wing similar to the man he might replace.

On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe was the best young player at the World Cup, and is only 19, meaning that he possesses a lot of potential to improve. His darting runs from the right-flank sparked terror in the eyes of defenders. His arrival at the Bernabeu could be a highly profitable deal as his best years are yet to come.

Mbappe is an emerging star and would surely become one of the best players in the world, so splashing the cash on him would signal a serious statement of intent from the Real Madrid board.
