It’s set to be a colossal summer transfer window at Real Madrid thanks to one man; Kylian Mbappe.
The Frenchman is almost certain to make his long, long-awaited move to the Santiago Bernabeu after years of flirtation and tiresome transfer sagas. The World Cup winner, arguably the best player on the planet, will join a star-studded Real squad overseen by wise veteran Carlo Ancelotti.

The Netherlands international is another attacking threat in wide areas, producing a staggering 19 goal contributions already this term.
