The Real Madrid Galacticos might just be back. After revamping the midfield last year with Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, the backline has already had its average age reduced with Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao replacing Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane.
Ferland Mendy is the younger version of Marcelo and the Brazilian stars of Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr - albeit not true Galactico style - have given fresh legs to the attack. The centre of the park is set for a big boost as well when Jude Bellingham signs for an expected monster sum.
He is the latest in a line of younger stars that are rocking the world game. It is still a big-name buy and indicates that Florentino Perez is on the charge. With this in mind even replacing 35-year-old Karim Benzema with Harry Kane would be a sizeable age drop. The Tottenham man is one of the main priorities left to fill the now-vacant starting spot for Los Blancos.
