4. Real Madrid Attackers:

The man upfront will be none other than Karim Benzema. Backing him up would be Luka Jovic. The Serbian would be hoping to establish himself under Carlo Ancelotti. As per the current circumstances, we would be having a third striker as Mariano Diaz.

We will have a pretty great left-wing with Eden Hazard being the obvious choice. He would be competing with Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior.

On the right wing, we will have Gareth Bale back with the team as he hopes to see out his contract with Real Madrid. His back-up would be Marco Asensio who would be wanting to turn his career around. We’ll also see Lucas Vazquez retaining his original position in the squad.

Apart from this, we might see Kylian Mbappe arriving in the Spanish capital as he desires to sign for Real Madrid – his dream club. The chances are very high of his signing as he has been rejecting contract renewal offers from Paris Saint-German. Since he is entering the last year of his contract, PSG would rather sell him for a reported fee of €120m-€150m than let him go for free next year.

So, in case Mbappe signs for Real Madrid this season, we can see Lucas Vazquez playing more at the right-back position.
