Aiming for the greatest players in Europe is still a goal of Real Madrid. Former Monaco ace Aurelien Tchouameni will be playing at the Bernabeu, after picking them ahead of the other main competitors, Paris Saint-Germain.

However, he hasn’t been Real Madrid’s lone transfer target. With the French international already at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Whites have no plans to stop the midfield reinforcements and future investments. In addition, the fact that Luka Modricand Toni Kroos are nearing the conclusion of their respective stellar careers should be taken into consideration.

Because Modric will reach 37next year, Real Madrid will have to gradually wean themselves off of their reliance on him. Consequently, Los Blancos must establish a strategy for the next generation of leadership.
