5 players who can replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

#1 Kylian Mbappé (PSG & France)

A true star boy, Mbappé is already being spoken of in Ballon d'Or terms

Blessed with searing pace, amazing dribbles and an ability to finish like a more experienced player, PSG's Mbappé has the tools needed to not only effectively complement but supplant the Portuguese superstar as well.

Real supremo Pérez is surely still disappointed that he failed to get the youngster to swap Monte Carlo for Madrid this summer and may do whatever it takes to get the French international to the Santiago Bernabeu in the nearest future

The youngster’s ascent to the pinnacle of football has been sensational and it seems to be a journey that is set to culminate in him being crowned the world’s premier footballer.

To show just how ridiculous Mbappé’s ascent has been, it beggars belief to note that this is just his second full season as a professional footballer.

Pundits who have watched the young man many times are already saying there is a sense around the young man that his ceiling will approach that of Messi and Ronaldo; childhood prodigies who have blossomed to star men.

Mbappé has demonstrated the skills and touch of a markedly older player and would be a more-than-adequate-supplement (and eventual replacement) for Cristiano.
