7 players who can replace Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

#4 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

Robert Lewandowski was the most prolific Bundesliga striker last season.

Lewandowski is a ruthless finisher of the ball and an ever-present force in Europe's top scorers' race. Last season, he scored 29 league goals for European Giants Bayern Munich as they lifted the Bundesliga title for the sixth time in a row. So, it is clear that his goal-scoring stock hasn't reduced in spite of the onset of age.

The Bayern sharpshooter is a man, who has been on the transfer agenda of Real Madrid board every now and then in recent years. But in each of those instances, one thing or another has led him to stay at the Allianz Arena. However, this time the rumour could turn out to be a reality as a 29-year-old Lewandowski looks determined to end his eight-year tenure in the Bundesliga in search of a new challenge.

Because of Lewandowski's reputation as one of the most complete strikers in the game, his underwhelming World Cup performance shouldn't really scupper the chances of a possible Bernabeu move. Not only does the Bayern man fit the Galactico criterion of Florentino Perez, but he is also a prolific goalscorer, who can promise 40-50 goals per season. So, this is a player, who is almost a like-for-like replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
