3 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Juventus

#2 Real Madrid are going to make Neymar or Mbappe their stars

UEFA Champions League'Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain' — Neymar or Mbappe could be the new face of Real Madrid

Ronaldo has been the face of the Real Madrid team since his arrival at the club back in 2009. Nine long years and it finally might be the right time for the Champions League winners to change the face of the club.

Former Barcelona player and current Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar has been linked with the Spanish club this year and his clubmate Kylian Mbappe is also being named as a player that is wanted by the whites.

Considering the fact that they are the two of the most expensive players in the market today, it is very unlikely that Real Madrid will sign both of them. And it is also hard to see PSG selling both their stars at once just after one year of buying them.

It is either Neymar or Mbappe who is going to be the next star of Real Madrid. Whoever it is, have some big shoes to fill.
