Bale, Isco and Marcelo have already said goodbye. The changes in Real Madrid will not end there. There are up to six other players whose future is unclear. Doubts about their continuity are growing. All of them have a valid contract. Four of them only have one season left. Madrid’s leaders will be respectable to the max, but they will not give away high-value players for free in the market.
These six players do not have a definite future at Real Madrid, but not all of them are in the same position. Ceballos and Asensio, due to their spherical weight, are the two most striking cases. Without renewal offers at the moment, the ball is in the players’ court and their environment. Moving to another team or looking for opportunities in Real Madrid. This means not feeling important or difficult to play.
Asensio finished as the third top scorer and if he decides to go on and fulfill the remaining year of his contract, that’s perfect. Ancelotti will know how to give him minutes and chances, but renewing his contract at the moment does not look easy. The Spain international has stated that he wants to have a bigger presence, although he has also admitted that he has felt important during the season. He has a good reputation and will never run out of offers. Jorge Mendes is already listening to the shows.
Ceballos got everyone’s trust in the latter part of the season, but as with Asensio, there is no offer to renew. Real Betis opens the doors for him, but their priority is to finish the financial budget with a positive balance, and this means selling some of his assets before thinking about strengthening the ranks of the Pellegrini team with new deals.
The problem or the catalyst, depending on how you look at both, is the immediate presence of the World Cup in Qatar. Starting the season without playing could kill their chances of being at the World Cup and is a factor that will have to be clarified in the coming weeks.
It seems that Mariano Diaz is determined to accept any of the offers that appear on the market and without giving money, the club has already informed that this summer will be different from previous offers, in which he flatly refused to leave.
Jovic is the player who is most clear about his departure from Real Madrid. The Serbian already knows that his fate is far from the entity of Madrid. Milan, a champion under construction upon his return to the first competition, is one of the teams that want him. His reputation in the Bundesliga opens up expectations with a quick result.
Vallejo, like Jovic, his contract does not expire in 2023. He knows that with Rudiger’s arrival he must look for a destination. There are already several shows and at the club, and in recognition of his dedication, they have bet on a move. The defender wants to continue and doesn’t seem to mind playing a secondary role.
Lunin is also looking for opportunities to participate in the matches, but Real Madrid does not want to say goodbye to the second goalkeeper without replacing him. He seeks first to renew and then move to another club that will allow him to play in the highest category.
It would not be unreasonable to think of Real Madrid 2022-2023 with as many as nine departures, which will undoubtedly affect also the players loaned from the white club and some players of the academy. The season that Ancelotti’s side will be facing will be very busy and full of competitions (six in total), which leads us to think of a great team.
The managers and technicians at the Madrid entity are talking about a team that needs a few reinforcements. Rüdiger has already arrived and everything is pointing to more.
