Real Madrid Transfers: 5 Players Who Should Replace Cristiano Ronaldo

1. Mo Salah

Right now, Mohamed Salah is one of the top five players in the world. Arriving at Anfield to a somewhat skeptical fan base after his poor stint with Chelsea, Salah quickly silenced any critics he may have had, proving to be one of the bargains of the year at just £36 million. The number of records he has broken and awards he has received is somewhat ridiculous.

The 32 goals he netted in the Premier League last season is the most by anyone in a 38 game season, the three separate Player of the Month awards he took home is also a new record, in addition to winning the PFA Player of the Year, Liverpool Player of the Year, and Liverpool Players' Player of the Year. If Sergio Ramos hadn't channeled his inner Brock Lesnar in Kiev he may well have led The Reds to European glory for the first time in 13 years on top of this.

The Egyptian, who scored his first World Cup goals this summer, is a genuine contender for the Ballon d'Or in the next few years, and we shouldn't be surprised if he is living in Madrid when this happens.
