Gareth Bale, who was thought to be the natural successor to Ronaldo, did not turn up the way anyone in the club hoped he would. His sale seems certain, according to various news outlets, and a sum of £50 million looks realistic.

Luca Vazquez is not on the level he once was. He always gives 110% percent, but in the last two seasons, this was not enough for a team like Madrid. For the sake of his playing time, he should leave the Spanish capital for around £15-20 million.

Marco Asensio’s best performances came from the right. If he gets enough space to roam around freely, the winger is definitely enough dangerous to warrant a stay at the club.

Another Galactico signing would be Paulo Dybala. The Juventus star seems no more as the first choice in Turin, as he only spent less than 70% of his possible minutes on the pitch. He played most of the games this season on the right wing, but can also play up front or behind the striker. The Argentinian also has Italian citizenship and would therefore not count to the non-European rule. He makes 2 key passes a game. This combined with great technic, pace and passing accuracy (89.7%), the player could transform into a new star in Spain. Dybala could leave the Italian league for around £90-100 million.

Vinicius Jr. is the star of the future. Already having great games at only 18, you can see that he will definitely be a world-beater. Less pressure would benefit his development and he could be the next big face of football.

To secure this, Eden Hazard will most likely join Madrid, as various sport media, like 90min.com, reported an agreement between Hazard and the team. The Chelsea star would not only help Vinicius, but he would also bring the team to a completely new level. He is a playmaker, a dribbler and goal getter in one and would flourish under Zidane. He is the world-class attacker Real missed this year. Considering his contract is running out at Chelsea, the Belgian should ab available for £80-90 million.

Karim Benzema and Mariano both were and simply are neither good nor clinical enough to lead the attack for Real. While the Frenchman is simply past his prime, the Dominican international will never be good enough to replace him. They should sell both players for an amount of £20-30 million each.

Raul de Tomas, who Real have loaned to Vallecano, already scored 11 of team’s 30 league goals this season. He is very good at shooting, in or outside the box. As a proven La Liga striker, de Tomas should be the perfect replacement for a new striker. At only 24 he also still got some potential.

Mauro Icardi can be the main striker in Los Blancos

The main striker should be no less a person than Mauro Icardi. He is another Argentinian, with an Italian passport, who fell out with his club. He is an amazing poacher, scoring at least 20 goals in every of the last five seasons. He is neither fancy nor a playmaker like Benzema, but Icardi is very efficient and exactly that, what Real Madrid needs right now. As he is no more first choice at Inter, the attacker should be available for around £100 million.
