Real Madrid Transfers: 5 strikers Los Blancos could pursue this summer
Kylian Mbappe
Speaking of Kylian Mbappe, this list would be useless without the PSG superstar on it. While Mbappe can play anywhere in the attack and ideally plays as a wide forward with Mauro Icardi in the starting lineup, Mbappe has actually made most of his appearances in the starting XI this season as a center forward. And he is one of the best center forwards we’ve ever seen.
A rare talent who is equally amazing at any of the three attacking positions in a 4-3-3, which is historically Real Madrid’s ideal formation, Mbappe is changing the game as we speak. The World Cup hero has made some of the most dazzling highlights this season, as his efficiency, finishing technique, and acceleration are all next-level.
The perfect player, Mbappe is a dream fit for Real Madrid, especially with how they play stylistically. They need someone with his intelligence in the final third and acceleration in transition. He is the missing piece in every facet, and that’s especially true in the goal-scoring department.
Despite not being a full-time striker, Mbappe has scored 18 goals in 17 starts (20 total appearances) in Ligue 1 this season to go with a handful of assists. He is even better in the Champions League with 5 goals and 4 assists in 420 minutes.
Next. What should Real Madrid do with Karim Benzema?. dark
A living legend of the game, Mbappe is averaging two key passes, 2.8 dribbles, and 1.1 fouls drawn per game in Ligue 1. He is a superstar who can do it all from an attacking sense. Mbappe is a Ronaldo and Benzema replacement rolled into one player.
