Real Madrid eye £70million star as ideal Cristiano Ronaldo replacement

Real Madrid are keen to seal the transfer of £70million-rated Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino as their replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Don Balon. The Brazil international is an important part of Liverpool’s recent rise to the top of the Premier League. Firmino has scored 10 goals this season but his work-rate for his team-mates off the ball has been highly commended. Liverpool now look in a better position to keep big names like Firmino and Mohamed Salah, but Real Madrid must be up there with the hardest clubs in the world for any player to turn down.
