Real Madrid is one of the most widely supported club in the world. Since its inception, it has never been relegated from the top division. In 2016-17 season it was the second highest-earning football club in the world, with an annual revenue of €674.6 million. Real Madrid established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football in the 1950's, winning 5 consecutive European Cups and reaching the final 7 times.
The success was replicated in the league, where the club won 5 times in the space of 7 years. In the domestic football, the club has won 64 trophies, a record 33 La Liga titles, 19 Copa del Rey. In Europe, they have won 13 European Cup/UEFA Champions League tittles and two UEFA Cups. Real Madrid was recognised as the FIFA Club of the 20th Century on 11 December 2000.
Their current squad is very talented, consisting of world-class players and have won the Champions League for 3 consecutive years in 2016, 2017 and 2018. They squad consist of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, probably two of the best midfielders in the world and have forwards like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who have great feet.
The one thing which didn't impress the Madrid fans this season is their below par performance in La Liga. They finished third on the table, with a difference of 17 points between them and Barcelona.
Their worst defeat in the season 3-0, was in the El Clasico at the Bernabeu in the first half of the season. There have been many lacklustre performances this season by Madrid coupled with injury to Gareth Bale for some part of the season and less goals scored by Ronaldo in La Liga as per Madrid's expectation. Let us look at the 4 signings who can improve Real Madrid next season
#4 David Alaba
Alaba is a very versatile player. Having played in central midfield, right and left wing and in central defence, he has blossomed as a left-back. He has good pace and ability to shoot from long distance. Being a good free-kick taker, he has an excellent left foot.
There are rumours doing the round that Marcelo will leave Madrid alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, if the Portuguese leaves in the summer. Alaba will prove to be a perfect replacement for Marcelo as both are identically gifted left-backs.
Alaba will provide both strength and pace on the left wing for Real Madrid. There are rumours that Alaba might cost Real Madrid more than £40 million.
#3 Thibaut Courtois
Courtois is considered a complete goalkeeper, due to his wide range of skills. He possesses an excellent positional sense, good mentality, composure, strength of character and is a good communicator with his defenders.
Having developed into a world-class goalkeeper at Chelsea, Thibaut is exceptionally good in one to one situations. This season he has kept 15 clean sheets in 35 league matches for Chelsea. His excellent performance have caught the eye of Real Madrid, who are searching for a replacement for their current goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Thibaut's excellent communication skills will help him to form an effective partnership with Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane. Real Madrid may have pay a huge amount to sign him.
#2 Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski is a prolific goal-scorer who is regarded by pundits as one of the best strikers of the modern game. Having positional sense, ability to shoot first time and the strength in the air, he primarily operates as a goal poacher in the penalty area.
Lewandowski finished the 2017-18 season as the Bundesliga's top goal-scorer with 29 goals. Real Madrid are in dire need of such type of a player who can score 29 goals for them in La Liga. There have been rumours that Karim Benzema is looking forward for greener pastures.
With his goalscoring abilities, Lewandowski will prove to be a perfect replacement for Benzema and propel Madrid to the La Liga tittle next season. According to the rumours, Madrid will have to spend £100 million on Lewandowski.
#1 Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard is probably one of the most outstanding talents in Europe right now. Hazard primarily plays as an attacking midfielder or a winger, has got great pace and flair and has the perfect vision to deliver the perfect ball in the box.
He has got great technical abilities, which have been described as astonishing and enchanting, respectively. Having been matured as a world-class player at Chelsea, he will prove to be a perfect galactico material for Real Madrid. There are rumours that Cristiano Ronaldo might leave Madrid this season.
Hazard will be a perfect replacement for Ronaldo. Hazard will successfully terrorise the right full-backs in La Liga with his terrific pace and technical capabilities. Real Madrid may have to offer cash and Benzema for Hazard to Chelsea.
