Los Blancos seemingly have no financial boundaries.
Having broken the world record transfer fee the last four times with the signings of Zinedine Zidane, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and most recently Gareth Bale, Real Madrid certainly spend plenty of money.

It’s therefore always likely that the best players of the next few years could end up at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Here are eight of the best.
Sergio Aguero
Once again the Manchester City striker has been in superb form in front of goal this season, topscoring in the Premier League with 14 in as many games and netting a match-winning hat-trick against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Aguero has said he won’t leave City until they win the European competition, but having previously played in Madrid with Atletico the Argentina international would be tempted by a return to the Spanish capital.

David de Gea
Over to the red half of Manchester now and the United No.1 is being viewed as the ideal replacement for the increasingly unreliable Iker Casillas.
De Gea has been in fine form for the Red Devils in recent times and he too used to play for Atleti and therefore could well consider heading back to his home nation.

Eden Hazard
Sticking with stars of the Premier League now and a Chelsea attacking midfielder who is being touted as a future Ballon d’Or winner for his slick performances for club and country.
Hazard is perhaps more of a grafter than a ‘galatico’, but the Belgium international definitely possesses the talent to succeed at the Bernabeu.

Paul Pogba
Rated as one of – if not the – best young player in world football, Pogba may have only recently signed a new contract with Juventus, but he may not stay in Turin forever.
The 21-year-old appears to have it all and could well be the ideal replacement for an aging star such as Luka Modric.

Marco Reus
Touted as one of the best players in the game, the future of this forward at Borussia Dortmund remains in doubt due to a certain – very well documented – release clause.
Dortmund’s rivals Bayern Munich revealed that Reus has a clause written into his contract that allows him to leave for just £19.8m next summer and Madrid will certainly be among the interested parties.

Raheem Sterling
The Liverpool youngster is widely considered to be the best teenager in Europe currently and his performances for both club and country suggests he could develop into a truly top player.
As a result Los Blancos are keeping a close eye on Sterling’s development and could invite the Englishman to follow in the footsteps of fellow countrymen David Beckham, Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate.

Marco Verratti
Since moving to Paris Saint-Germain this 22-year-old has fought off the competition of some much more established names to become a firm fixture in the Ligue 1 champions’ starting XI.
PSG are considered to be a strong force now, but the Italian could still be tempted by what Madrid have to offer in Spain.

Arturo Vidal
Back to Juve and to many the best box-to-box midfielder in the game, although Vidal has so far refuted claims he is going to leave the reigning Serie A champions.
Madrid are well stocked in the Chilean’s position, but the 27-year-old could be too good to turn down should he make himself available.
