5 World Cup stars who can replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

#2 Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe - prodigious talent

With his peach of a performance against Argentina in the Round of 16, Kylian Mbappe has thrust himself into the list of World Cup 2018 standouts and has also found a special place on Florentino Perez's radar. Via his procurement, Real Madrid would secure a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 2017-18 season, the French starlet managed 21 goals in 44 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain and played a vital role in their title-winning run.

With Real Madrid's top-notch midfield consisting of the likes of Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Isco - Mbappe would have the luxury of making marauding runs into the opposition box more often.
