#4 Maxime Lopez ( Marseille)
Though he may not be as popular as other players on this list, Maxime Lopez is young and very talented as well.
At the age of 20, he is a regular for French side Marseille and a Europa League finalists as well.
He is also in line to be a part of French Football Golden Generation and he came through the youth ranks of Marseille youth academy.
He is only 20 years old but he has already made more than 80 appearances for the French club.
Whenever he on the pitch his style of play reminds everyone of Modric.
He has been also described as a player with Spanish mold. He is an elegant midfielder who can run the show with his impressive passing range and forward runs.
The youngster is highly unlikely to replace Modric next season, but he can definitely be a long-term replacement for him.
Keeping in mind his young age it is safe to say that his best days are yet to come and even in this inflated market he should not be an expensive acquisition.
Even former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is also an admirer of the Frenchman and the Los Blancos are set to go head to head with the Catalan giants for him.
