Real Madrid Set To Sell 6 First-Team Players

Real Madrid are reportedly planning a significant overhaul of their first-team squad this summer, with as many as six players potentially leaving the Bernabéu.

According to a report from BILD, the club is looking to reshape its roster after a challenging campaign that saw it part ways with former manager Xabi Alonso in January.

The defensive unit is set for the most dramatic transformation, with several high-profile players potentially on their way out. Here is the full list of players who could depart:

David Alaba, defender, is out of contract in the summer. Top of the exit list; the club will not offer the 33-year-old new terms.

Antonio Rüdiger, defender, is out of contract in the summer. Initially expected to leave, but recent reports suggest a potential one-year extension to 2027 is now a possibility.
Dani Carvajal, defender, is out of contract in the summer.

The club captain’s future is uncertain due to ongoing injury problems.
Eduardo Camavinga, midfielder, contract until 2029. A surprising potential departure; Madrid would listen to offers of around €50 million (£43.2m) .

Ferland Mendy, left-back, not specified, has fallen behind Álvaro Carreras in the pecking order and is not expected to have a future role.

Fran García, left-back, not specified, is also playing second fiddle to Carreras, and he is expected to be allowed to leave.

The report from BILD, cited by the Daily Mail and other outlets, indicates that this squad reshaping is a direct response to a difficult season. The team currently sits four points behind Barcelona in La Liga and suffered an embarrassing Copa del Rey exit to lower-league side Albacete.

Their only remaining hope for silverware is the Champions League, where they hold a 3-0 lead over Manchester City from the first leg of their Round of 16 tie.

While the departure of veteran defenders like Alaba and Carvajal would mark the end of an era, the potential sale of 23-year-old Eduardo Camavinga is the most surprising.

The French midfielder, once seen as a cornerstone of the club’s future, has attracted interest from across Europe. Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, are reportedly monitoring his situation closely.
