Real Madrid is world renowned for it’s famous ‘Galacticos’. Despite this, the last Galactico signed was Gareth Bale way back in 2013. The instrumental Cristiano Ronaldo moved on this summer and Madrid have faced years of being outspent by both domestic and European rivals. To remain as the dominant force in Europe, Madrid are likely to splash out on several superstars in 2019.
5 Raheem Sterling
Sterling has slowly developed into one of the Premier League’s best attacking players over the past five seasons. The forward would inject both pace and youth into Real Madrid’s attack and Sky Sports recently revealed that Madrid are interested in the player. An official bid for the player is expected in the summer of 2019 and Manchester City are likely to do everything in there power to stop the player from leaving.
4 Harry Kane
Karim Benzema seems to be the glue that holds together the forward line in Madrid. Whilst his goalscoring form is questionable, his ability to hold up play and make space for others is undeniable. Harry Kane is the exact opposite.
If he joins Madrid, Kane will contribute less for teammates whilst scoring far more goals. With the player yet to win silverware with Spurs, he could be lured to the Bernabeu next summer where he would link up with former teammate Gareth Bale.
3 Eden Hazard
Hazard will be 28 during the 2019 summer transfer window and this may represent the last year that Madrid would be willing to pay in excess of £100 million for the Belgian. It will be a pivotal summer for the talismanic forward and one that will determine where he plays his football during the peak years of his career. It is worth noting that he has already hinted at leaving Chelsea this year. If his current club fails to qualify for the Champions League this season, Hazard will look to seal his transfer to Madrid in 2019.
2 Kylian Mbappe
The best young player in the world recently completed his move to PSG after a season on loan from rivals AS Monaco. He seems to fit the mould of a Real Madrid player and he will most likely continue to be a superstar for at least the next 10 years. Hints have already been made about an imminent move to Madrid. Rest assured, Madrid want him and they will most likely go all out to get him in 2019 should they fail to achieve reasonable success this term with the current squad. His move will likely come down to if Madrid can afford to pay the astronomical fee that PSG will demand for the 19-year-old.
1 Neymar
This is the most talked about transfer in world football right now. Neymar’s past with Barcelona made it seem like an initially unlikely transfer. The rumours won’t go away however and numerous outlets are reporting that he is Real Madrid’s number one target. It seems that Real Madrid will do everything in there power to lure the player to the capital next summer. The most likely scenario will be that it will be either Neymar or Mbappe lining up in the famous all-white kit for the beginning of the 2019/20 LaLiga season. This decision will most likely fall to PSG as they must choose if to sacrifice the Brazilian or Kylian Mbappe.
