All the dynamics of the Spanish League might change as rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus are getting stronger day by day.

Sure the story is same every year, but the magnitude this time is on a whole different level. Various news publications like BBC and Goal have already reported the deal to be getting finalized shortly.

If the inevitable eventually goes on to happen, there will surely be a big void to fill in the forward line of the Real Madrid squad. A plethora of players might be on the radar of Florentino Perez, who will make sure to get the best possible replacement for Ronaldo.

Though nothing has been confirmed yet by the involved clubs, if Ronaldo decides to leave the Galacticos to join the Italian club, here are four possible replacements who are more than capable of becoming the next poster boys.

Honorable Mention: Robert Lewandowski

Mbappe joined PSG on loan in August of last year for a fee of around £166m (with his move becoming permanent on 1 July). Although Real Madrid has denied making a bid for the young sensation, in the world of Football, you never say never.

There's no denying that Paulo Dybala has become a household name in just three years with the Italian giants - Juventus. The 24 year old has impressed one and all with his dribbling skills, balance, and close control in limited spaces.

Widely considered to be a highly talented prospect in world football, he has been nicknamed "La Joya" ("The Jewel" in Spanish) due to his pace, style, and technique.

With 68 goals from 140 appearances for Juventus, Dybala is already ranked amongst the best players on the planet.

While he's having a great time at Juventus, a move to Real Madrid might not be out of the question. With Ronaldo closing in on a Vecchia Signora switch, Madrid may swap him with Dybala.

The man of the moment - Neymar, he became the most expensive player in history when PSG signed him from FC Barcelona in a move worth €222 million.

He proved every penny worth as he has scored 19 goals in 20 Ligue one matches. At just 26, Neymar is already the third highest goal scorer for Brazil just behind Pele and Ronaldo de Lima, with 57 goals in just 89 appearances.

Finishing in third position for the Ballon d'Or behind Ronaldo and Messi, Neymar is a "true phenomenon" with his dribbling skills, tricks, and playmaking ability reminiscent of the legendary Ronaldinho.

A move to Real Madrid has been doing the rounds for quite a while, and with their main man leaving the side, Neymar's transfer to the club could make him arguably the best player on the planet. At least that's what Rivaldo says.

Starting out with a youth career in 2004, Kane finished top scorer in both the 2015-16 and the 2016-17 Premier League seasons, and aided Tottenham in qualifying for the UEFA Champions League on both occasions.

Even on the International stage, he has outshone all his peers for England and has single-handedly taken the team to victory on a couple of occasions.

Regarded as one of the best forward players today, Harry Kane has been a target for several clubs with the rumor of his transfer to Real Madrid doing the rounds on several occasions.

This time, the alleged rumors are stronger than ever, and with Ronaldo looking to leave Madrid, Kane could be a great replacement for him.
