4 positive effects Cristiano Ronaldo's departure could have on Real Madrid

It all started when Cristiano Ronaldo dropped a 'nuclear bomb' after recently guiding Real Madrid to their third consecutive Champions League triumph. Following their 3-1 victory against Liverpool at the Olympiyskiy Stadium, the winger said in an interview:

“Right now we need to enjoy ourselves but in the next few days I’ll give an answer to the fans who have always been by my side''

''It was beautiful to be at Real Madrid"

Although it sounded like a joke initially, it is now becoming a reality and the Portuguese could end up leaving Real Madrid this summer. In fact, the attacker has reportedly agreed on a deal worth €30 million in wages to join Seria A Champions Juventus, a club he recently expressed that he loves and respects.

Considering that Ronaldo has been Real Madrid's best player for the past decade, there is no doubt that his departure would be a big blow to the Spanish giants. However, it doesn't come all bad for the Los Blancos as his exit could also introduce some favourable developments.

Therefore, let us take a look at 4 positive effects that his departure could have on the Los Blancos:

#4 A chance for the youngsters to impress

Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez are two of Madrid's brilliant youngsters

Cristiano Ronaldo is, without doubts, one of the most talented superstars in the football world at the moment. But, at the age of 33, whether we accept it or not, his days at the top are quite numbered.

While it would hurt to lose such a phenomenal superstar, it should not be dismissed that the attacker's departure presents an opportunity for Real Madrid to start planning for the future. The Los Blancos have a lot of incredible youngsters who can take the club forward if they get the opportunity.

The likes of Marco Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Ceballos and Borja Mayoral are all promising prodigies who can take the baton from the Portuguese if he eventually completes a switch away from the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

#3 An opportunity for other superstars to step out of his shadow

Bale has been living under Ronaldo's shadow ever since he moved to the Bernabeu

It should be noted that Real Madrid have a lot of incredible superstars who would walk into many squads across the continent. But while these players have shown their incredible talents at the club, most of them are yet to reach their full potentials because their efforts are usually overshadowed by the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo

When one king goes, another one rises, according to a popular saying. The departure of Portuguese could lead to the rise of another superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu. The likes of Gareth Bale, Isco, Marco Asensio and Luka Modric are all incredible players that can carry the team whenever the privilege arises.

Therefore, the exit of the winger should not come as a panick to the Los Blancos as there is every possibility that another superstar would emerge and assume the responsibility of taking the team forward.

#2 The end of over-reliance on the superstar

The Los Blancos could also break free from their over-reliance on the Portuguese

Even though players like Gareth Bale, Isco, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio, Casemiro, Marcelo and Sergio Ramos are all incredible superstars who form part of an all-star squad at Real Madrid, it is quite obvious that the Los Blancos still depend heavily on the brilliance of one player - Cristiano Ronaldo, to keep them rolling.

While many will suggest that Ronaldo's departure would be a hard blow for the Spanish giants, the move could also end up being to their advantage in one specific area. His exit could help the Los Blancos to break-free from the over-reliance on the superstar and enable them to work better as a team.

If they stick together as a unit, with hard work and great attitude, they'd definitely cope with the absence of the Portuguese and continue pushing the club to greater heights just like Barca did after Neymar left for PSG last summer.

#1 Another Galactico era

Ronaldo's departure could mark the beginning of another Galacticos era.

If Cristiano Ronaldo eventually leaves Real Madrid for Juventus this summer, there is no way he would not attract a huge fee. Goal recently reported that The Old ladies would need to cough out up to €340 million in order to lure the Portuguese away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

With Real Madrid reportedly preparing £500 million since January, coupled with a potential €340 million from the Ronaldo sale, the Los Blancos would have a lot of cash to spend during the transfer window. This could, in turn, mark the beginning of another Galacticos era at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Neymar Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Eden Hazard, Robert Lewandowski, Mohamed Salah and Paulo Dybala are some of the big-name superstars that could form another set of an all-star team at the Spanish Capital if things work this way.
