Marco Asensio – Forward/Winger

I saved the best for last, at least in my opinion. Marco Asensio is just 21 years old but has shown that he will soon be one of the best in the world. With an eye for goal, premium pace and fantastic passing ability, Asensio is the complete package as a forward/winger. Asensio played a lot of minutes for Real this past campaign, even more than former superstar James Rodriguez.

Marco didn’t just play in normal fixtures either, he saw his name called in every competition even the Champions League Final, which he would score in.

The latter paragraph doesn’t do Marco enough justice though, make sure you check out my dedicated article to the young Spaniard.

Real Madrid is absolutely loaded for the future, and the reason they are is because of smart acquisitions and fantastic scouting. There is no doubt the current Real Madrid side is loaded, but with these talents already in the side, they could be all that much better.
