Midfielders
The future Real Madrid midfield line up could consist of these players: Marcos Llorente, Dani Ceballos and Brahim Diaz.
In the future, the defensive midfielder position should be reserved for Marcos Llorente, who has played extraordinarily this season. Without a doubt, he is the most improved player in Real Madrid's squad this season. Last season was not good for him but he now challenges Casemiro for a spot in the starting lineup.

He is much more comfortable on the ball than Casemiro, with the special ability to drive with the ball from defense under pressure. His long-range passes and calmness have earned him comparisons with Xabi Alonso. Llorente is a true Madridista in his heart and if there is anyone that deserves to be a future legend at Santiago Bernabeu, it is definitely him.
The latest Real Madrid recruit is Brahim Diaz, a former Manchester City player. In pursuit of more regular time, Diaz finalized his move to the Santiago Bernabeu this January by signing a six-and-a-half-year deal. The young Spanish midfielder, who can use his both feet very well, made only 5 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Manchester City. So, why did Real pay £15 million to sign him?
He is a very small and technically gifted player whose driving runs and dribbles are often compared with those of Lionel Messi. He has a big desire to be in possession, regardless of being under pressure in busy areas. He has been one of the 3 Manchester City gems along with Jadon Sancho and Phil Foden. If he turns to be as good as Jadon Sancho, then Real Madrid have a world-class player in their hands.
Dani Ceballos is yet to make an impact at Real Madrid, but when the situation at the club calms down, we can expect him to become the main playmaking force at Real Madrid.
The 22-year-old midfielder is a quality player who proved his mettle at the U21 Euro 2017 where he won the award for the best player of the tournament. Aged just 20, Ceballos was Betis' main player. He can do wonders with the ball, has a good vision and also contributes to defense. With a little bit of physical improvement, he could become a world class midfielder. He is still very young and has plenty of time to demonstrate his value.
