Operation departure in Madrid

Before getting in, allow to exit. It is the message that Madrid sends in the face of the next transfer market, which is not yet clear on what dates it will be open due to the postponement of official competitions. The white club has an overbooking problem in its squad. He currently has 25 players in the first team (including Rodrygo). To these we must add Reinier, who is currently in Castilla, and up to eleven on loan who could start the preseason with Madrid (Achraf, Odegaard, Ceballos, Reguilón, Odriozola, Kubo, Vallejo, Mayoral, Lunin, Óscar Rodríguez and Luca Zidane).

The main concern of the leaders comes with the 25 footballers who are currently in the club and there the slogan is clear: At least four or five footballers must be transferred from those under the command of Zidane. The loaned are a separate case that does not worry the club, quite the contrary. Some will return to stay (Achraf and Odegaard), in other cases it is still to be decided whether they will stay (Reguilón and Ceballos) and the rest will return on loan or transferred with a buyback option, because they are soccer players who, due to their youth and projection, have many suitors.

Four footballers stand out on the starting ramp: James, Bale, Lucas Vázquez and Mariano. All four will come out if offers arrive that are considered adjusted to their market value. In addition, there are four other cases in the air: Nacho, Marcelo, Modric and Brahim. The first three have given a lot to Madrid and a joint decision will be made with them, depending on what their role in the project will be. As for Brahim, the leaders hope that he will finally accept an assignment, something they have pushed into in the last two transfer windows.

In the arrivals section, in addition to the return of Achraf and Odegaard, Madrid want to incorporate a midfielder (Fabián is the favorite of the board and Pogba is Zidane's). In addition, the hiring of a 'nine' (like Halaand) will be addressed if Jovic still does not meet expectations. But to make room for them, you must first sell …
