We have reached the business end of the 2018/19 season and by now, we tend to know how every team has fared this season. One of the biggest football clubs in the world, Real Madrid were one of the most talked about clubs this season.

Their season revolved around Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the club and Florentino Perez not replacing him. Real Madrid's downfall this season has been singled down to the lack of match winners they have in their team. Madrid are currently 3rd in the LaLiga table with one game to go and in the Champions League, they lost out to Ajax in the round of 16.

There is no doubt that the season was underwhelming and they are staring at a squad overhaul. After sacking two managers in the middle of the season, Zinedine Zidane once again took charge of the Los Blancos. The squad needs some reinforcements and they already have one as they have signed Eder Militao from FC Porto.

Madrid still needs some players in certain positions and left-wing is one such spot as they still haven't replaced Ronaldo. So, in this slideshow, we take a look at the three left-wing options Madrid can look at:


#3 Lorenzo Insigne

Lorenzo Insigne currently plays for Napoli and he can be the alternative that Madrid can look at in terms of the left-wing spot. Insigne is currently at the peak of his powers and he is tailor made for Zidane's counter-attacking football.

The diminutive Italian is blessed with raw pace and skill on the ball and his dribbling can be compared with the very best. Insigne can score and create goals at will and his leadership qualities can come to the aid of Madrid.

The Napoli ace has attracted some interest from all over Europe and his recent fall out with Carlo Ancelotti can make it a cut-price deal. So, Zidane could look at the Italian to be a potential option at left-wing.

#2 Neymar

Real Madrid need a superstar signing who can own that left-wing spot and who better than one of the best wingers in the world, Neymar to look for. The Brazilian has been on Madrid's radar for a long time and Florentino Perez hasn't held back his appreciation for him.

With Paris Saint-Germain not winning anything major, Neymar would be persuaded to move to the Santiago Bernabeu and be their main man. The Brazilian is currently in his prime and if there is a club who can handle his wages, it is Real Madrid.

Neymar would also be perfect for the Los Blancos as he can both create and score from the left side, both of which Madrid are missing. Neymar can also be that X-factor which Madrid sorely need and he surely can bring back the club to its glory days. The Brazilian wouldn't come for cheap but the Los Blancos are one of the few clubs that can handle his transfer fee.

#1 Eden Hazard

If the rumours are to be believed, Eden Hazard has been the most linked man to Real Madrid and the Belgian has also been talking about his move to Santiago Bernabeu as his dream move. The 28-year-old is currently one of the best left-wingers going around and he is in his prime too.

Zinedine Zidane has returned to Real Madrid and Hazard has stated many times that Zidane was his favourite player and that playing under him is a dream. The Belgian would be perfect for Madrid as the Chelsea ace has that leadership quality ingrained in him. Most of the times, he puts the team over his personal records and that is something that Madrid need at the moment.

Chelsea are currently facing a ban for two transfer windows and that can make the negotiation more difficult for the Los Blancos. He is not going to come for cheap either but he is going to be totally worth it.
