5 potential replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid

#4 Paulo Dybala (Juventus)

Anyone up for a swap-deal?

As one comes in, the other may have to go out. If the deal for Ronaldo goes through, it will be an expensive one. Not just the transfer fee, but the wages, and the agents’ fees, so they may have to move one out, in order to balance the books. Dybala may be the unfortunate casualty of the deal, as it is likely to be his place that Ronaldo takes in the team.

Dybala isn’t really in the same league as Hazard or Neymar, but technically, he is still a superb footballer. He still isn’t the finished article, but if he fulfills his potential, he will be one of the best players in the world. His goal record at Juventus isn’t great, but he just had the best season of his career so far, suggesting he is still improving.
