Real Madrid have finally found a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo and it’s a player within the club.
The Club’s new manager, Julen Lopetegui, has decided it is time to give young Spaniard, Marco Asensio, the big boots to fill.
Prior to this, a host of big names have been linked with the club, including PSG duo of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.
Of the trio, it was Hazard who was most likely to come, as the player himself openly admitted to that, but Chelsea have refused to sell, placing a hefty £177.9million price tag on him to scare buyers away.
Spanish newspaper, Marca, reports that for this reason, Lopetegui has assessed his squad over pre-season and decided on how he will replace Ronaldo with Asensio.
The newspaper claimed that Lopetegui would rather use Asensio in his front three than spend a “ludicrous sum” on Hazard.
Real Madrid have also accepted the fact that Neymar will not be joining the club this summer. The club also strengthened their attacking lineup with the addition of Vinicius junior from Brazil.
