The appeal of the fans and the age factor (24-year-old) makes Paulo Dybala a near perfect replacement for Ronaldo. Not only is he an outrageously talented and a versatile striker, but the Juventus attacker is also extremely charismatic.

His dribbling skills are mighty and so is his shooting ability. A creative player and Mess- like dribbler, Dybala knows where the goal is and has found it more than 50 times in Serie A for Juventus.

For now, he is Ronaldo’s new teammate at Juventus, but the Argentine striker could find himself squeezed out. After splashing out on Ronaldo, the Italian champions will have an eye on Financial Fair Play rules and be looking to balance the books.

A young, energetic and classy player can hugely appeal the Real Madrid board. But there are significant doubts though, whether Dybala can really be a true big-time player. He tends to disappear when it matters the most in the big matches, and is yet to prove himself for Argentina after failing to convince his worth to his manager at the World Cup.
