#5 Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)

The young Brazilian completed a move to Real this summer

It has been a very turbulent summer at Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Juventus, and Zinedine Zidane resigned as manager just days after winning his third straight Champions League title and was later replaced by Julen Lopetegui. They haven’t bought in a direct replacement for Ronaldo, so it may be the job for someone who was already at the club to come in and replace him.

Of course, Vinicius wasn’t at the Bernabeu last season, even though a deal to sign him from Flamengo was agreed last summer. He is certainly someone who is capable of going right to the top, and he is certainly in the Ronaldo mould. He is a versatile forward and is capable of playing on the wing or down the middle. He is able to go past players and is certainly good enough at finding the net when he gets himself in the right positions.
