#2 2019
Key players signed: Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy
The 2018/19 campaign would go down as one of Real Madrid’s worst seasons in recent years. The disappointments of last term called for a major overhaul, and who better than Florentino Perez to respond?
They finally have a game-changer in Eden Hazard, who is capable of filling the large void left by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Luka Jovic has been one of the promising strikers in Europe for the past two seasons and it will be interesting to see his role in the Madrid line-up, since Benzema has been the preferred option until now.
Ferland Mendy is a terrific left-back, capable of opening up defenses with his sizzling runs and trickery. Given the brand of football played by the Madrid full backs in Marcelo and Carvajal, Mendy is widely regarded as the perfect replacement for the former.
Besides, Real Madrid have bought Eder Militao, who showed a lot of steel in his fabulous performance as a center back for Brazil in the recently concluded Copa America. However, he could be warming the benches until Sergio Ramos decides to bid goodbye.
