Real Madrid will need to offload players in order to finance incoming transfers, according to a report from The Athletic. The outlet indicates that defenders David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger are expected to leave as free agents. The club is also considering the sale of reserves Daniel Ceballos and Gonzalo García. Meanwhile, the future of captain Daniel Carvajal remains uncertain.
Although club officials have described the upcoming transfer window as “just another one,” sources familiar with the internal situation suggest that player sales are necessary to facilitate new signings. The changes could be even more extensive, with a possible restructuring of the club’s sports department also on the table.
