Benzema was a favourite of both Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, however his future is in doubt now that both of these individuals have left.

Antonio Conte will most likely want to spend big on a world class centre forward, and at the age of 30, Benzema is unlikely to want to play second fiddle. Benzema will likely continue to lead the line until the end of season, before finally ending his 10 year association with the club.


#2 Nacho

28-year-old Nacho is among the most liked individuals in the Madrid dressing room, however he is still yet to become a regular starter in the Spanish capital.

Nacho's versatility is his greatest strength but Conte may seek defenders that are especially strong in one position. Nacho needs to keep playing in order to retain his team in the Spanish squad, so both parties may agree to go their separate ways in 2019.


#1 Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale's inclusion on this list is mainly due to him being the one player that Madrid could get the most money from selling. Although the Welshman has not completely lived up to expectations since his 2013 move, he is still among the best players at the club.

The player will however turn 30 next summer, and it may be the final opportunity that Conte can sell him for a huge transfer fee. With a potential sale, the Italian would then be able to instruct the club to go out and target either Neymar or Eden Hazard, and one of these player's would be the main man of Conte's reign in Madrid.
