#3 Sadio Mane - Liverpool

Juventus have reportedly already registered an interest in Liverpool winger Sadio Mane. Mane, who has now won the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League title in consecutive seasons with Jurgen Klopp's side, is undoubtedly one of the most feared attackers in Europe.

Sadio Mane has scored 17 goals and set up 7 from 34 Premier League appearances this term and those numbers are likely to rise if he moves to the Serie A.

Mane is good with the ball at his feet and can beat a defender with ease. He is also a great finisher and can find the net with both feet. Mane likes to operate from the left side and there's almost no catching him once he turns on the afterburners.

However, at 28 years old, Mane might not be the best long-term option available to Juventus and he won't come for anything less than €100 million either.


#2 Raheem Sterling - Manchester City

Raheem Sterling is one of the best players in the Premier League and that has been the case for more than several years now. Though at times his finishing leaves to be desired, his sheer attacking prowess and the threat he poses every time he gets on the ball should impress anyone.

At 25 years old, he is also a long-term option for Juventus. However, at Manchester City, the Englishman is one of Pep Guardiola's most potent weapons and Juventus will need to break the bank and then some. But then again, if you're hoping to sign any proven player that can even come close to replicating the numbers of Ronaldo, there is no other option.

Sterling has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season for Manchester City and has been one of City's standout performers in a season where the Etihad outfit haven't quite hit the highs expected of them.


#1 Kylian Mbappe - Paris Saint-Germain

Amidst growing concerns that Kylian Mbappe, perhaps the best young talent to have come out of Europe in the past few years, won't reach the heights he can if he kicks on at Paris Saint-Germain in a largely pedestrian Ligue 1, the Frenchman is widely expected to leave the club in 2022.

Alongside Edinson Cavani, Neymar and Angel Di Maria, Mbappe has formed one of the most outrageous attacking quartets in Europe. Once Mbappe gets behind a defender, there simply is no catching up. His numbers continue to be otherworldly too.

The 21-year-old missed a chunk of the season but still from 20 appearances in the league, Mbappe has 18 goals and 5 assists. His stats in the Champions League are more impressive. From 4 starts and 3 substitute appearances, Mbappe has 5 goals and 4 assists.

There is no doubt that Mbappe can replicate those numbers for Juventus in the Serie A. However, he will not be available for anything less than €150 million and therefore, Juventus will need to break the bank and then some in order to sign him.
