Ronaldo backs Kylian Mbappe for Ballon d'Or 'if he joins Real Madrid,' likens Jude Bellingham to Zinedine Zidane - Eurosport

According to Ronaldo Nazario, Kylian Mbappe will have a greater chance of winning the Ballon d'Or if he decides to join Real Madrid this season.

For many seasons, there have been rumors connecting Mbappe to a transfer to Bernabeu. These rumors have grown even more intense since he became a star player in the French capital.

Ronaldo, who is an iconic Real Madrid player and a former winner of the Ballon d'Or, has expressed his belief that Mbappe could win the prestigious FIFA award if he becomes part of the renowned white shirted team.

Ronaldo shared with Mail Sport that everyone is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in Madrid, but it's crucial to wait for an official announcement before discussing it in depth.

This player is exceptional. He is on track to become one of the greatest in the game right now. In my opinion, it would be a smart move for him to become a Madrid player. I believe that if he does, he will ultimately win the Ballon d'Or.

Without a doubt, Madrid has got your back through thick and thin, backing each call you make. Not just on the pitch, but off it too. Shielding you from harm's way. However, I reckon you had a blast at PSG.

Naturally, PSG put in a lot of work to make sure that Mbappe wouldn't leave them. He was a key player in the PSG plans. However, we'll need to wait and see how things turn out now that he's with Real Madrid. One thing we know for sure is that we can expect to see a lot more of Mbappe in the upcoming years.

The powerful status of Madrid is evident as they have a team full of famous players and a notable advantage of seven points in La Liga.

Even though they have won the UEFA Champions League 14 times, the team is still determined to become dominant in Europe once again. They were defeated by Manchester City in the semi-finals of the previous season, which led to Manchester City eventually winning the tournament.

Last summer, the decision to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund was taken as a move towards overcoming the problem.

Ronaldo expressed his admiration for Jude Bellingham's playing style.

I really enjoy watching him perform on the field at Madrid. He consistently scores goals and is constantly pushing forward with his gameplay.

While spectating various games at the Bernabeu stadium, I had my eyes peeled for Bellingham. To my surprise, I was thoroughly impressed by his skills. His rapid sprint towards the goal area indicated a hunger and determination to score goals continuously. In fact, I can't help but see similarities between him and Zinedine Zidane when it comes to quality.

There have been rumors connecting Madrid with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who broke a record, as Los Blancos have not had a consistent goal-scorer since Karim Benzema left.

According to Ronaldo, Real Madrid aims to recruit the most exceptional players globally.

Haaland is a phenomenal footballer who has captivated the attention of the sporting world. He is a highly sought-after player, with many clubs vying for the chance to sign him. Currently, he is playing for an outstanding team.

The team at City is doing a fantastic job, and it seems like they're keeping their star player content. I would absolutely love to see all three of these players join forces on one team. It would be reminiscent of the Galacticos era when they dominated Spanish soccer. If Haaland, Mbappe, and Bellingham do end up at Real Madrid, it would be a sight to see.

If all of them end up signing for Real Madrid, it will be absolutely wild. Picture Real Madrid on the pitch with every single one of those players. This team will be remarkable and accomplish amazing feats.

I believe Carlo Ancelotti will face a considerable challenge in managing such a large squad of players. However, it is simpler to bring good players together than bad ones. Therefore, the coach should not encounter any major issues.
