Kane, Salah, Hazard, Icardi or Dybala: who will replace Ronaldo at Real Madrid?

24 nov 2018

After Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer to Juventus, Real Madrid had the hard job to find his replacement. A striker like him doesn’t exist but the club had also problems to sign with players not of his level. Benzema, interviewed by Real Madrid TV, said he is ready to assume that role, but despite this, he has not been able to score enough yet.

Real Madrid already signed with Vinìcius and Rodrygo but they are wingers, not real strikers. The list of great scorers is wide. Mauro Icardi, Harry Kane, Neymar, Salah, Hazard, Timo Werner, Lewandowski, Mbappé, Falcao and Dybala. All of them could be useful for Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard was, during the summer, one of the closest to sign with the Spanish club. One of the most interesting names for Real is Mauro Icardi. The Inter striker seems to have finally found his place in the Argentine team and nobody discusses his goalscoring ability.

One of the issues is his € 110 million clause. Also, Inter doesn’t want to let him leave, he’s the center of the club’s project. Another “Italian” solution could be Paulo Dybala.
This season is showing how improved the player is and Real Madrid may be a good step for his career.

Like Inter, neither Juventus has the will to renounce to his player in order to chase Champions League final. Therefore, it seems like Real Madrid needs to look for Ronaldo’s replacement out of Italy.
