#1 Mauro Icardi
When Sampouli announced Argentina's squad for the FIFA World Cup, the majority of the fans were left wondering why he did not choose the in-red-hot-form Mauro Icardi, a player who had done an incredible job at Inter Milan.
Icardi made 34 appearances for Inter Milan last season and registered 29 goals to his name. A prolific goalscorer, Icardi's ability to ghost into the box and score goals help Real Madrid find the perfect solution they are looking for.
He is an expert inside the penalty box and is a fox-inside-the-box. He is good with both feet and is also a decent performer during aerial duels.
Should Real Madrid sign Icardi, he'd play a No.9 role for Real Madrid, replacing Karim Benzema, who is heavily linked with an exit this summer.
