5 players Real Madrid should target in the ongoing transfer window

#3 Adrien Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot can be the ideal man to replace Luka Modric

Diario Gol has recently reported that Luka Modric has decided to bring an end to his illustrious career at Real Madrid and this might be his final season with Los Blancos. Modric has already spent five and a half years at the Bernabeu and he helped Real Madrid win 13 trophies in these years which includes three Champions League titles.

Modric has been instrumental in Real's success and is an integral part of the squad. So, it will be difficult for Zidane and Florentino Perez to find an immediate replacement for the Croatian, if he decided to leave. Real Madrid have the likes of Isco and Marco Asensio to control the midfield, but Modric is something quite different.

One player who could successfully fill the void of Luka Modric is young French midfielder, Adrien Rabiot. He has impressed in PSG colours and being just 22 years old, he can be the man in the heart of Real's midfield for almost a decade to come. Besides brilliant passing and ball holding capabilities, he even possesses some great defensive skills. Rabiot made 2.2 tackles, 1.8 interceptions and 0.5 key passes (all per game) last season.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, has marked him as a potential target and a long-term replacement of Modric. So, Florentino Perez might make the move once the transfer window opens in January!
