Champions League’s early fall in the quarterfinals to Bayern’s Bayern caused an immediate domino effect behind the scenes for Santiago Bernabéu. The Merengue board has started planning for a profound overhaul that should affect seven players from the current main squad. President Florentino Pérez classified the season’s performance as disappointing and authorized the search for new destinations for established names and young promises.

The continental setback exposed weaknesses that the club had been trying to overcome since the beginning of the year. Sem cups in the gallery in this round and with a considerable disadvantage in the national league, Real Madrid understands that the cycle of part of the group has come to an end. The financial movements aim to oxygenate the payroll and make room for strategic reinforcements in the mid-year transfer window.

Rüdiger and Camavinga top the list of possible transfers

The biggest surprise among tradable names falls on Antonio Rüdiger and Eduardo Camavinga. The German defender, the centerpiece of the defense in recent seasons, is experiencing a period of technical and contractual uncertainty. Já the French midfielder, although he publicly expressed his desire to remain in the Spanish capital, became the target of severe criticism after his performances against Bayern’s Munique.

Real Madrid does not rule out selling Camavinga if large proposals arise, mainly from the English Premier League. The board believes that the young man’s market value is still high, which would allow an important profit for immediate reinvestment. Outros names that make up the output group are:

  • Dani Carvajal (right-back, end of contract)
  • David Alaba (defender, out of plans for 2027)
  • Dani Ceballos (midfielder, looking for more minutes on the field)
  • Asencio (defender, considered negotiable by the board)
  • Gonzalo García (striker, departure already planned previously)

Situação of veterans and young talents creates uncertainty in the squad

Full-back Dani Carvajal symbolizes the end of a victorious era. At 34 years old and with a contract expiring in June, the defender has not yet received any sign of renewal from the Madrid leadership. The physical performance in the current season weighed against the idol, who saw his minutes drop drastically under the coach’s command. David Alaba faces a similar scenario, suffering from physical problems and no guarantees of continuity in the future project.

In the offensive and midfield sector, the changes seek to resolve personal dissatisfactions. Dani Ceballos has already signaled to the club’s staff his interest in returning to Real Betis, the club where he stood out before arriving at Madrid. The young Asencio, despite having a long contract until 2031, did not convince the technical committee that he can assume immediate ownership, being placed on the showcase for possible loans or sales with a buy-back clause.

Florentino Pérez calls for drastic changes after year without titles

President Florentino Pérez did not hide his frustration with the imminent risk of the club going two consecutive years without winning major trophies. The elimination of Copa from Rei and the nine-point gap to Barcelona from Campeonato Espanhol worsened the internal crisis. The president demands a more aggressive stance in the market to regain European hegemony next season.

The classic on May 10th is seen as the last opportunity to save honor on the domestic scene. Entretanto, planning for the 2026/2027 season already ignores the final results of these seven remaining rounds. The order is to reduce the group’s average age and ensure that players without full commitment to the new tactical scheme are dismissed as quickly as possible.
