Legendary Brazilian Ronaldo believes that it "would be more logical" for Real Madrid to make a sensational move for Kylian Mbappe instead of Neymar.
Mbappe, 21, has established himself as one of Europe's fastest-rising stars and put the world on notice with his exploits for club and country.
And the Paris Saint-Germain superstar's future in the French capital has been in doubt since last summer amid intense speculation linking him to Madrid.

Speaking at a webinar hosted by Santander, Ronaldo suggested Madrid would make an investment on Mbappe ahead of Neymar due to his age.
"Right now, it is not that one is better than another, but if Real Madrid had to make a big investment, they should do so thinking about the future," the ex-Madrid star said.
"Neymar is 28 years old and Mbappe is 22. As an investment, it would be more logical to bring the younger [of the two]."

Mbappe and Neymar are both expected to start for PSG in the Champions League final tonight against Bayern Munich.
PSG have already completed a domestic treble this season, but the French champions have been eager to assert their dominating status in Europe's top-tier competition.
Ronaldo has insisted that Neymar must win the Champions League this season, but he added that his fellow Brazilian must remain 'calm' with his finishing in the final third.

The two-time Ballon d'Or winner explained: "He [Neymar] needs to win the Champions League to complete his season.
"He has played very well in the last few games, especially in this final phase in Portugal.
"He has created many scoring chances, but he has lacked calmness to finish off moves. With luck and calmness, he can find himself scoring in the final."
