Fabio Cannavaro: Real Madrid need PSG ace Kylian Mbappe.

Mapped scored 30 goals in 33 games in all competitions this season.

Fabio Cannavaro is convinced Real Madrid need 'a young star' like Kylian Mbappe so he 'can follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo.' Mbappe has been linked with a move away from PSG, with Los Blancos reportedly interested in signing the France international - who has won three Ligue 1 titles since moving to Parc des Princes from AS Monaco in 2017. However, former Juventus defender Cannavaro says it will be difficult for the Spanish giants to sign the 21-year-old as Paris Saint-Germain 'will fight tooth and nail to keep' one of their most valued assets. "Real Madrid need players like Mbappe, a young star who could follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo," the Guangzhou Evergrande coach Cannavaro, who won two LaLiga titles with Real Madrid, told AS.
