After a tough start this season, Real Madrid are currently ninth on the LaLiga table, seven points behind the leaders, Barcelona. They have struggled to fire under their new manager, Julen Lopetegui and lost three of their opening nine games.

The Los Blancos have scored 14 goals in the opening 10 LaLiga games this season and conceded the same number of goals during that period. However, with the January transfer window just a few months away, Real Madrid could use their money power to lure some of the best talents to the Bernabeu.

Right on this note, here is the list of three players who could help Real Madrid to save their season.


#1 Eden Hazard

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo was a big blow for the Los Blancos, and the inability to replace their departing superstar made things even worse.

However, the Los Blancos could use the January transfer window to sign a replacement for their departed superstar and Chelsea's Eden Hazard is among the few names who could fill the void left by the Portuguese at the club.

The Belgium international has been in scintillating form so far and is currently leading the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with seven goals.

The 27-year-old joined Chelsea from Lille in the summer transfer window of 2012, and played 217 Premier League games for the London based club, scoring 76 times. He won the Chelsea Player of the Year award three times and was also the PFA Young Player of the Season in 2013-14.

Hazard has won two Premier League titles with the Blues and also helped his team win the Europa League during the 2012-13 season. He was Belgium's star performer at the FIFA World Cup 2018 and provided the most number of assists (two) during the tournament.

Eden Hazard revealed his desire to join Real Madrid in the past, and could finally move to the Bernabeu this winter, or in the summer.

#2 Harry Kane

Real Madrid struggled to find the back of the net regularly this season and scored just 14 goals in the 14 LaLiga games. The London born striker is among the best strikers in the world and there is not even a fraction of doubt that he would be a massive upgrade on Real Madrid's current attackers.

The London-born striker won the Premier League Golden Shoe in two of the last three seasons and was going shoulder to shoulder with Mohamed Salah for last season's Golden Boot as well, but his injury during the final stages of the league saw him fall behind the Egyptian.

The 25-year-old attacker was England's Player of the Year in 2017 and won the PFA Player of the Season award in the 2016-17 campaign. Kane also won the Player of the Month award six times, which is the joint-most of all-time alongside the Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard.

Harry Kane is being linked with a move to Real Madrid in the recent weeks, but Los Blancos will need to dig deep into their pockets to lure the talented Englishman to the Bernabeu.

#3 Kalidou Koulibaly

Real Madrid are struggling defensively this season and conceded 14 goals in the opening 10 LaLiga matches. Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane are not at their usual best and they need a new defender to lead their backline.

Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly is among the best centre-backs in the world right now and could be the answer to the Los Blancos' woes.

Koulibaly is a quick, tall and strong defender. He is comfortable with the ball at his feet and has an excellent passing range as well. He has completed more than 235 passes this season, with an impressive accuracy rate of 88.1%. With 5 interceptions and 16 tackles completed in the league alone, he continues to excel as Napoli flourishes under Carlo Ancelotti.

He wouldn't be cheap by any means, and his recent contract extension with Napoli could make the things more difficult for Real Madrid. Nevertheless, he would be a fantastic addition to Real Madrid's backline if they were to sign him.
