3 players who can replace Ronaldo at Madrid

Uruguay v Portugal: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Who will replace him?

#1 Neymar (PSG)

Brazil v Belgium: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Will Neymar finally move to Real Madrid?

Neymar Jr has been linked with a move to Real Madrid for eternity. He could have moved to the capital club at a very young age but things didn't go well then. Even in 2013, when he moved to Barcelona, Madrid made a move for him but again as destiny would have it he ended up signing for Barcelona.

And for last 2 months, he has been linked with a move to the capital club again. Neymar Jr is a fantastic player, someone tipped to take over the mantle as world's best once Messi and Ronaldo go down. His antics in World Cup hasn't gone well but that doesn't take away the fact that he is an unbelievable talent who has been doing consistently well for last 3-4 seasons.

Lopetegui would love to have Neymar at his disposal who can do it all in attack. Neymar can create and score and will provide Lopetegui with the perfect protagonist in attack. He will provide Lopetegui with the penetration that he didn't had Spain and will add another edge to Madrid's already great attack.

He moved to PSG last summer for a world record fees of 222 million Euros and signing him would be very tough for Real Madrid. But again PSG troubles with FFP could play a role in them letting him go to comply with the regulations.

So will it finally be the season where Neymar would move to Real Madrid?? I guess we need to sit back and watch. But right now if there is a player who can come closer than any other player to replace Ronaldo in Madrid, then it has to be Neymar.

He has a huge fan following which gives him immense marketing potential and an unquestionable footballing talent. He is more than capable of winning a Ballon De Ore and raising the whole team up with his performances.
