#3 Theo Hernandez – Real Madrid
Theo Hernandez made the controversial switch across the Spanish capital from Atletico to Real, only to remain firmly on the bench.
The 19-year-old was superb on loan at Alavez last season, thriving in the regular game-time and was expected to push the ageing Filipe Luis for a starting place next season. Instead, he decides to sit behind Marcelo, who’s possibly coming off his most impressive campaign with Los Blancos to date.
That’s not to say Hernandez can’t be the future of Real Madrid, the Frenchman has age and ability on his side, but the move came at the wrong time. Unless he is sent on loan again, he could have his career stagnate as long as the Brazilian ahead of him can continue his current form.
We all know how hard it can be for any player to reject the Santiago Bernabeu when it starts calling but Hernandez should have resisted their calls for at least a few more years. He now needs to push Marcelo hard or risk seeing all the hard work of last season go to waste.
