It's no secret that Real Madrid hasn't been the same ever since Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus. The Portuguese ace spent nine glorious years at the Bernabeu and became arguably the best player in the world in this time.
Los Blancos haven't had a great season so far and when an imposing figure is being looked for in on their teamsheet, the fans find themselves in a rather unpleasant dilemma.
Ardent Real Madrid supporters have become used to their club's way of doing business and the first thing on their mind after a disappointing campaign is: WHO ARE WE SIGNING NEXT? WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT GALACTICO?
Real Madrid's rich history is well-known and the term Galactico is very well understood by all. Fantastic players like David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo Nazario and many more have been recruited for Real Madrid over the years and endowed with the galactico tag, continuing the club's philosophy of recruiting the very best of the best in the world.
Here we list down 5 men who have it all to be Real Madrid's next galactico signing.
#5 Paul Pogba
Paul Pogba is a tailor-made candidate to be Real Madrid's next Galáctico. The Frenchman possesses the right swagger, the perfect skill set and the desired potential to flourish at Real Madrid.
Pogba has it all to succeed in the middle of the park for Real Madrid and just imagining the scenario is pretty tempting.
Imagine Paul Pogba in the iconic white jersey; a jersey donned by some of the greatest players of all time.
The Frenchman is made to feature in nights which define history; nights like playing Barcelona at Camp Nou in what would be a pretty exciting Clásico.
Bringing Pogba to Real Madrid would add flair to the side and certainly enhance the dynamics of the squad. There have been quite a few world-class midfield generals at Real Madrid and looking at Pogba's potential, the Frenchman has all it takes to be added to the glorious list.

#4 Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is a phenomenal player and the world knows it. The Frenchman shone for Les Bleus at FIFA World Cup in Russia and has been terrorising Ligue 1 defences on a weekly basis.
Mbappe has it all to be the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo's unoccupied throne at Real Madrid. The speedy Frenchman is a lethal forward who is difficult to contain, and looking at the history of Los Blancos and the players associated with it, Kylian seems to have been cut from the same cloth as the numerous galacticos have originated from
Many youngsters fail to fulfil their potential under the tremendous pressure of international football but Mbappe has been defying his critics every time he steps on a football field.
Now at PSG, a move to Real Madrid will surely help him become the best in the world.
And as for Real Madrid, they would be getting a player of tremendous potential in the form of Kylian Mbappe.
#3 Harry Kane
In the world of football, quality centre forwards don't come easy. Putting the ball in the back of the net does seem like an effortless job, but it is a job easier said than done.
Lethal strikers may be hard to find but strikers like Harry Kane are even harder to find. The English international is one of the finest forwards on the planet right now and has been consistently scoring goals in the Premier League season after season.
Although was once termed as a one season wonder, he has turned out to be a genuinely world-class footballer. Harry Kane's rise to prominence has been noteworthy.
Real Madrid would make quite a statement by signing a name as big as Kane. A lethal striker who has an eye for goal would be excellent for the Los Blancos.
Kane is a lethal goalscorer who doesn't miss many chances and at Real he will surely be blessed with many chances to score.
#2 Neymar
Ever since his Santos days, Neymar has been destined for greatness. The Brazillian showed early signs of being special while still in Brazil and it seemed inevitable that the Brazilian would move to Europe one day.
That day came as Neymar moved to Barcelona and rest as they say is history. Neymar brought flair and such attacking prowess that the fans at Barcelona couldn't stop appreciating and, enhanced his reputation of being the next big thing in the world of football.
Neymar formed one of the most fearsome trios alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as Barcelona conquered Spain and Europe.
The Brazillian now plies his trade at the French club, Paris Saint Germain as he moved to the French capital in 2017 in a record-breaking move from Barcelona.
Neymar's move to Real Madrid might raise a few eyebrows because of his previous association with Barcelona. But keeping all things aside, players such as Neymar are born to don the famous Madrid shirt and play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Real Madrid would be odds on favourite for the La Liga if Neymar's potential move to the Spanish capital actually happens.
#1 Eden Hazard
Number one on this list has to be the tricky Belgian who currently plies his trade for Chelsea in the British capital. Since he joined the London-based club in 2012, the Belgian captain has always angled for a move away from the former European champions.
Eden Hazard has been tipped to join the Los Blancos for some time now and it seems now is the perfect time for him to make a switch to the Spanish capital.
Hazard has been truly magnificent for Chelsea and has helped the Blues win numerous titles including two Premier League titles.
When Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus and his replacements were being discussed, the first name on Madridistas' lips was of the majestic Belgian, Eden Hazard.
With Chelsea not having a really great season under Maurizio Sarri and Eden's differences with the Chelsea manager public knowledge, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to bank and bring Hazard to the beautiful city of Madrid.
