Real have often deployed midfielder Eduardo Camavinga ahead of Ferland Mendy in the left-back position. His current deal expires in the summer of 2025. However, the 22-year-old has been described as 'unsellable' - with Bayern desperate to tie him down to a new contract. His tackle on Romelu Lukaku late in Croatia's final group match spared them an early exit.Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claims that Bellingham has a great opportunity awaiting for him at the Santiago Bernabeu and has encouraged the midfielder to join the club Not only was the centre-back easy to spot, but he stood out for his unforgiving defending and comfort on the ball. Gvardiol's World Cup was nearly over before it started after he fractured his nose and suffered severe swelling around his right eye while playing for RB Leipzig last month, forcing him to wear a protective mask in Qatar.
The 20-year-old defender rose to prominence on the biggest stage with a series of excellent displays during Croatia's run to the semi-finals. "He is a boy who will do whatever you say to him." "At his age it is normal that he wants to conquer the world," Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said of Alvarez. Left on the bench for Argentina's opening two group games, Alvarez started and scored in a 2-0 win over Poland and then netted a crucial second goal in the 2-1 last-16 win over Australia.Īnother solid showing against the Netherlands was followed by two goals in the semi-final win over Croatia.

Ramos could not replicate his heroics as Portugal lost in the quarter-finals, but the Benfica striker has time on his side and will surely get a long run in the team once Ronaldo steps aside, if not before. The 21-year-old took just 17 minutes to open the scoring and achieve something Ronaldo never has - net in a World Cup knockout game. Known as "Pistoleiro" for his gun-toting celebration, Ramos shot his way into world football's consciousness with a hat-trick on his full debut. The forward showed he has the potential to be the successor to Cristiano Ronaldo at international level, seizing his opportunity in sensational style when he was selected ahead of Portugal's captain for the 6-1 demolition of Switzerland in the last 16. It is surely only a matter of time before he is prised away from his boyhood club, with Manchester United a possible destination.
"He has everything it takes to become a star," said Van Gaal. Gakpo did not add any more goals but still played his part as Louis van Gaal's side only succumbed on penalties to Argentina in the quarter-finals.
