5 players who could be Florentino Perez's next Real Madrid Galactico

#3. Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v Chelsea - Premier League

Mohamed Salah is arguably one of the best players in world football.

The Egyptian has been with Liverpool since 2017 and has been in electric form throughout the period. Salah has several club records to his name and was instrumental in the side's recent successes.

Salah won the Premier League Golden Boot during his first two seasons with the club. He helped his side to win not only the UEFA Champions League but also the league title for the first time in the Premier League era.

Salah's individual record is stunning. The 29-year-old has made 229 appearances for Liverpool, scoring a mammoth 148 goals while also providing 56 assists. The Egyptian's contract runs out in June next year.

Liverpool have made a couple of attempts to tie Salah down on a long-term contract, with no luck so far. Real Madrid will be licking their chops, considering they can easily afford Salah's wage. Salah's future depends completely on how much Liverpool are willing to pay their most prized asset.

#2. Erling Haaland

Borussia Dortmund v 1. FSV Mainz 05 - Bundesliga

Erling Haaland is possibly the world's best striker, alongside Robert Lewandowski.

The 21-year-old has constantly made headlines over the past couple of years. Haaland first burst onto the scene during his time with RB Salzburg. Haaland spent a year with the club, scoring a ridiculous 29 goals in just 27 appearances.

He was then signed by Borussia Dortmund almost immediately, where he continues to replicate his previous goalscoring form. In his two years with the club, Haaland has made 77 appearances, scoring an incredible 78 goals.

Haaland also won the prestigious Golden Boy award in 2020 and boasts an incredible goalscoring average of over a goal every game. There are not many players in world football who can show such high numbers.

These accomplishments have resulted in Haaland finding himself on the radar of Europe's top clubs. Real Madrid have been very open about their interest in the Norwegian and will certainly try to sign him this summer.

#1. Kylian Mbappe

FC Bayern Munich v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Leg One

Kylian Mbappe is one of the most accomplished youngsters on the football scene.

The 23-year-old has already enjoyed a fine career, the kind which is incredibly difficult to match even for world-class stars. Mbappe features primarily as a winger and is capable of playing as a striker as well.

Having started out with Monaco initially, Mbappe attracted a lot of attention with his goalscoring prowess. Mbappe became the club's youngest-ever player in their history and also won the coveted Golden Boy trophy in 2017.

2018 saw Mbappe move to Paris Saint-Germain for a reported fee of €180 million, becoming the world's most expensive teenager in history and the second-most expensive buy of all time.

Mbappe's three years with PSG have been nothing short of phenomenal. He has won three Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de France trophies and two League Cups to boot. The French prodigy also won the 2018 FIFA World Cup with the French national side becoming only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final after Pele.

Mbappe has also won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot for the last three years in a row. His goalscoring record is simply incredible and his admiration for Real Madrid is well documented.

Seemingly a match made in heaven, the football world is only waiting for Mbappe to put pen to paper and move to sunny Spain.
