5 players Real Madrid could consider signing this summer

#1- Kylian Mbappé

France v Croatia - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final

Nearly all that was said about Neymar could be said about Kylian Mbappé. He's a superstar in the making, with the world seemingly at his feet. Already a world cup winner at 20 and with a serious eye for goal and terrifying pace, Mbappé would go a long way to fixing Madrid's goalscoring problems and would certainly satisfy the fans' desire for a genuine superstar.

Mbappé is simply blowing away Ligue 1 defences this season, with a monstrous 18 goals and 6 assists in just 16 games. Given he's averaging 4.1 shots a game, 2.9 of which are coming from inside the penalty area, this rich vein of goalscoring form is no fluke.

Mbappé would add the end product that this Madrid side is crying out for, taking his chances and creating his own with that blistering pace. Madrid would be acquiring a dynamic outlet up front, capable of stretching even the most stubborn of defences.

The one clear advantage to signing Mbappé over Neymar is age. Both would command eye-watering fees but at least with Mbappé, they would get 13+ years of service or the potential of high res value in the future. This clearly makes Mbappé the more valuable asset and makes the deal more logical from a financial point of view.

Mbappé is the perfect heir to Ronaldo and could well follow in the footsteps of the man he grew up idolising.
