#2 Paulo Dybala
Touted by many as the heir to Messi's kingdom, Argentina youngster Paulo Dybala has already become a massive piece in Juventus' jigsaw.
The 24-year-old was not given appropriate playing time in Russia and Sampauli's decision was backfired as Argentina suffered a defeat at the hands of France in the Pre-Quarters, ending their World Cup sojourn.
A versatile, agile, athletic attacker, Dybala can give any defence a run for their money. His dribbling is exquisite, his ball-control is dumbfounding, his defensive contributions are not paltry, he is mordacious during counter-attacks, with his ability to get the better of the defenders.
Dybala made 46 appearances for Juventus last season and even scored 26 goals, with 22 coming from Serie A and one from Champions League.
At Real Madrid, there are plenty of positions that would suit him. He could play as a left-winger, the position Ronaldo has left at Real Madrid.
Or if Bale decides to play left, Dybala could ply his trade on the right. He could also play as an attacking midfielder or an out-and-out striker.
However, Real Madrid would need to spend a figure near £100 million to sign the Argentine superstar.
