1. Ajax RB Noussair Mazraoui

The final player on this list is Ajax’s dependable right-back, Noussair Mazraoui. LaLiga has had recent luck with Moroccan players in Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri and Real Madrid too can profit with the signing of this 23-year-old Moroccan who is currently putting fire on the Dutch stage.

He is just the way a modern-day fullback should be with a good mix of attacking and defending prowess. He is exceptional with his dribbling and does a great job reading the game which reflects in his strong suit of tackling and intercepting. Real Madrid has been lacking their fullbacks contributing to the attack post Dani Carvajal’s injury and Mazraoui is the kind of player who could solve that issue in an instant for Los Blancos.

As I said he has put the Dutch stage on fire, he has six goal contributions that include four goals and two assists in Eredivisie so far in eight matches. He also had a sparkling assist in the Champions League, per WhoScored. The world is taking note and Mazraoui will soon come up in the market as a highly sought-after player and this is the best time for Real Madrid to pull some strings and use their humongous appeal to rob in this fine young talent.

At 23 years of age, he is maturing brilliantly and his prime is yet ahead of him. He could be a great asset to this squad given he is brought in with enough financial sense. He is currently valued at 18 million euros by Transfermarkt and should be an absolute bargain at that price point.
