#2 Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)
Vinicius Jr. has made a lot of headlines even before he has kicked the ball for Real Madrid because of the €46 million they paid for him about a year ago.
The 18 year old is known for his pace, trickery and dribbling skills which have drawn comparisons with Neymar. This alone gives us enough reason to be excited about the teenage sensation.
The versatile forward scored 14 goals in 69 games for Flamengo, and has scored 17 goals in 19 games for Brazil at U17 level already.
The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo leaves a gaping hole in the Real Madrid attack. It would be impossible for a single player to compensate for the number of goals he scored, so that responsibility will be split between the current crop of forwards - including Vinicius.
Many believe Vinicius is one for the future, but Marcelo has stated that he is also one for the present.
“He is the present of Real Madrid, he is on our team. I was 18 when I arrived and Sergio Ramos was 19. He [Vinicius] is a young boy and we want to make him feel at ease and help him. He is the present and future of the club.”
