Alexis Sanchez

This is the most obvious one and the first easy choice.  Alexis Sanchez is out of contract at Arsenal and thus his transfer fee will be low.  He’s not cup tied because of Arsenal’s resounding failure in that department and he’s not going to be at the World Cup either so he has a point to prove.

Sanchez can play across the entire Real Madrid front line and frankly it needs help all over.  He can play behind the striker, on the left or right or as the main striker at the moment.  Real Madrid are not in the position to move off from Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment but that day is coming.  Until then they need to support him more and double down.

A player like Sanchez with the trickery, pace and vision that he has would be the world’s most perfect signing and a very good move for the Spanish giants because he could be had for 50 million euros or less.

Even if they can’t sign him in January they should at the very least be able to offer him a contract as they’re a foreign clubs and the Bosman-rules state that they can enter negotiations.  It makes too much sense to ignore.  They must do it.
