GK: David de Gea
An ideal replacement for Iker Casillas, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has long been linked with a big move to the Bernabeu and could be on his way in a £30m deal this summer.
DR: Daniel Carvajal
Continuing at right-back, impressive Spanish starlet Daniel Carvajal has done enough to show he can keep being first choice for Los Blancos.
DL: Marcelo
A key player at left-back, Brazilian star Marcelo is another Real player in no need of replacing this summer.
DC: Sergio Ramos
A world class centre-back, Sergio Ramos continues at the back for Real Madrid in this new-look side.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
With a new partner in defence, Laurent Koscielny’s fine form for Arsenal has seen him become a target for Real Madrid this summer, and there’s no doubt he could fit in well at the Bernabeu.
MC: Luka Modric
The former Tottenham man, Croatian playmaker Luka Modric is one of Real’s most important players and deserves to stay part of the starting lineup.
MC: Toni Kroos
A great signing from last summer, Toni Kroos will surely continue alongside Modric in the Madrid midfield next season.
AMR: Raheem Sterling
Unsettled at Liverpool, Raheem Sterling has caught Rafael Benitez’s eye this summer and could replace Gareth Bale out wide for Real, with the Welshman strongly linked with Manchester United and Chelsea.
AML: Cristiano Ronaldo
Real’s Galactico, Cristiano Ronaldo has to stay at the club and should remain on the left-hand side despite whispers of interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
AMC: James Rodriguez
Another big name brought in last year, James Rodriguez is a key attacker for Real and should remain a vital part of the team under Benitez.
FC: Sergio Aguero
With Karim Benzema’s future in doubt, Real have been linked with Manchester City star Sergio Aguero, with the Golden Boot winner an ideal candidate to play up front for the Spanish giants.
