Real Madrid continues to work to reinforce its workforce, but at the same time the parade of players who will leave the white club begins. Footballers that the Technical Secretariat or Xabi Alonso does not count, which will leave a hole to those who will arrive in the next few days to join the team for the Club World Cup.
35 games, 10 seasons and 13 titles
The first to leave is Jesús Vallejo, the Central Maño who will not participate in the new competition. Vallejo has played only 35 games in the ten seasons in which he has been part of Real Madrid. Enough to accumulate a record of which few can boast. 13 titles among which are 2 European Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, a League, a Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups. In some of them he has even had some prominence, as in the two Champions, participating in the semifinals.
“Real Madrid thanks Jesús Vallejo for his professionalism, his commitment and his work, and wishes him already his family the best in this new stage of his life,” said the club's farewell message. After being assigned to teams such as the German Eintracht, Zaragoza, the English Wolverhampton or Granada, At 28, the central will try to consolidate in a team to enjoy the minutes he has not had at Real Madrid.
Vallejo is the only player whose departure has been confirmed, but there are others who will leave the club at the conclusion of the Club World Cup. One of them will be Luka Modric, who tried to stay one more season. The Croatian spoke with Xabi Alonso, who was a companion in the stage of Tolosarra player, and the Basque informed him that he would have a hole in the squad. However, Florentino Pérez made the decision not to offer another year to Modric because he understands that prolonging his stay in the team one more year subtracts opportunities for Arda Gular, A Real Madrid commitment that you want to revalue with the arrival of Xabi to the Bernabéu bench. Modric will leave being the most laureate player in the history of the club with 28 titles behind him in the 13 seasons that he has passed in Real Madrid. Of those 28 titles, six are Champions, which has allowed him to match Paco Gento as the player with the most European drinks, he also shares with his companions Dani Carvajal, Nacho and Toni Kroos.
Another departure that is confirmed after the Club World Cup is that of Lucas Vázquez. 'Cafucas' has given a magnificent service to the club since it arrived from Galicia in 2007 to integrate into the lower categories of the club. He came to play in the youth team with Carvajal and Morata, to be given to Espanyol one year, although he was later recovered by Madrid. He debuted with the first team on July 24, 2012, in a friendly at Carlos Tartiere against Oviedo in which he premiered scoring a goal. Lucas has 23 titles with Real Madrid: 5 Champions League, 4 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues of Spain, 1 Copa del Rey and 4 Spanish Super Cups. A player who has spent his last years occupying the role of right side, especially in this last season after Carvajal's injury.
Lunin's doubts and Rodrygo's displacement
There are other players whose future generates doubts. The first is Andrey Lunin. In the offices of Santiago Bernabéu they are not sure that the Ukrainian goalkeeper Siga, judging by the movements of his agent, Jorge Mendes. At 26 he sees how trains pass and still does not take ownership. And the panorama is going to complicate because Madrid plans to offer Courtois, 34, two more seasons in his renewal. This has caused Lunin's name to have begun to sound in the market, where there are teams looking for goalkeepers such as Manchester United or Guardiola City. Madrid is open to negotiate its departure, but its salary has grown remarkably after renewal and the club has appointed its transfer in a figure that would be around 30 million.
Given this situation, the white leaders, as the newspaper said on May 20, have contacted the agents of Joan García, goalkeeper of Espanyol, and have sent him the following message: “We are interested in Joan. You are not in a hurry and if there is something a firm offer, talk to us before making any decision.” The Chamartín Club considers the option to get its services and leave it on loan in some team, including Espanyol itself. Barcelona is also interested in giving its services and there are two other Premier teams that have entered the bid for it.
There are also other names that have affirmed: Rodrygo, Ceballos, Brahim or Endrick. The Brazilian has refused to wear Real Madrid's shirt in the last games of the season. His jealous attack by not being considered a footballer of the Mbappé, Bellingham or Vinícius dimension has generated a problem to the club, which he sees how he presses to get out of the interest of teams such as Manchester City or Arsenal. Dani Ceballos is pending a conversation with Xabi Alonso, Although it seems that Tolosarra has the Sevillian. Something similar happens with Brahim, who has been losing prominence in the last section of Ancelotti. And finally it is Endrick. The player is not willing to spend another post postponed on the bench And he prefers to leave ceded, but Xabi will have to decide if he opens the door or if he recruits him for his project.
