#2 Real Madrid
With Modric ageing, Los Blancos could be another option. Moreover:
- A club on Man United's global footing. Real Madrid is the current European Champions, and in several cases are bigger than United
- Whilst Ronaldo has left, Modric, Marcelo, Kroos, Varane, etc. stand as global-class players
- Varane is a French national teammate and World Cup winner
- As ever with Los Blancos, their goals and aspirations are high. The stated aim is to win the fourth CL in a row and to regain La Liga from their deadly rivals, Barca
Los Blancos also need more names to rejuvenate an ageing team, with several top players nearing 30 or beyond it.
Not all "Galacticos" have worked out, as the side featuring Beckham, Ronaldo (de Nazario), Zidane, etc. didn't achieve what it intended. But to compete for the league, and to win more European Cups Real need to sign big, and ensure any post-Ronaldo transition is as smooth as possible.
