Unlike in 2013, hedidn’t inherit a squad with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos. The outlook was different this time, but that didn’t prevent him from delivering positive results at the beginning of the campaign.

However, the truth is that the club is in rebuild mode as it has its sights set on going all in next summer, hoping to land Kylian Mbappe from PSG, and why not, Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. And to make room for them, a number of players could see the way out.

Real Madrid reportedly prepareclearout: Hazard, Bale top the list

The optimistic start to the season doesn’t seem to change the fact that Real Madrid will continue to make changes in the upcoming transfer windows. It’s not a secret that their intention is to have Mbappe as the face of the new-look Madrid, but in order to achieve that they’d have to reduce their wage bill.

According to As, there’s a list of players who’s future would no longer be at Santiago Bernabeu. We’re talking about Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Isco, Luka Jovic, and Jesus Vallejo. The Belgian star has failed to impress since making a sensational move from Chelsea and his constant injuries have marred his stay at the club so far. It remains to be seen whether he’s givenmore opportunities, but a transfer could be on the cards.

Regarding Bale, it’s been a long time since he last played at his best in a Madrid uniform. Withhis contract running out next summer, the club wouldn’t offer a renewal. That’s the same case for Marcelo and Isco. The Brazilian is a club icon and the Spanishmidfielder has also been part of El Merengue’s successes over the last few years, but they have not been first team regulars for a while. Besides, Madrid would save up a total of €62m oftheir salaries.

Jesus Vallejo wouldbe shown the exit door simply because he doesn’t have room in the team, while Real Madrid apparently wantto cash in for Jovic. The Serbian striker arrived for a mind-blowing €63 million from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in 2019 but has never lived up to the expectations. After sending him back to Frankfurton loan, Madrid may want to finally sell him.

Following a lackluster 2020-21 campaign, the French starlost his place in the starting lineup as he hasdropped in Mikel Arteta‘s pecking order. And after five years at the Emirates, both parties may call it a time by not renewing his contract.

Of course, Lacazettewon’t be lacking in offers once he heads into the final months of his deal. That’s why Arsenal may try to sell him in winter to avoid losing him for free. If that happens, the doors in North London could be open for a Real Madrid forward.

Arsenal reportedly set sights on Real Madrid striker as Lacazette could leave London

The Gunners may not be thinking about extending Lacazette’s stay at the club but that doesn’t mean they intend to lethim leave for nothing. Hopefully, they can cash in and maybe land astriker who can fight for a spot in the starting eleven.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Arsenal consider swooping in forLuka Jovic of Real Madrid. The club’s idea would be landing him on a loan deal with an option to buy, while the La Liga giants demand $29m to sell him.

That’s a significant lower fee than the $69m they paid to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2019. Jovic has failed to impress in the Spanish capital and doesn’t have room in Carlo Ancelotti‘s plans. At 23 years of age, however, he still has time to turn his career around. And Arsenal could give him that opportunity.

After all, that hasn’t gone wrong for other Real Madrid players.Martin Odegaard, for instance, found the playing time he was looking for in North London on an initial six-month loanbefore making a permanent move from Madrid in the summer.

The Rossoneri have secured a top-four finish in theSerie A for the first time since the 2012/13 campaign and they finally seem to be getting back on track. However, they’ll need new signings to facethe next Champions League and the domestic tournament successfully.

Stefano Pioli‘s side hasbegun the last Italian league brilliantly, but eventually, it came up short in the title race as Inter Milan‘s roster proved to be more powerful.Therefore, AC Milan would considerre-signing Brahim Díaz, whose loan is about to end, andswoop forthree more Real Madridplayers to strengthen their team, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Brahim Díaz

The 21-year-old attacking midfield has impressed in his loan spell atSan Siro, where he got the playing minutes he wasn’t granted at the Santiago Bernabeu. Brahim Díaz had four goals and four assists in 27 Serie A games, helping Milan to finish second, which is why the Italian club is eager to extend his stay.

According to reports, the Rossoneri might be close to reaching a newagreement with Real Madrid. They would acquire him on loan again, but with a buy-option of around $30million. However, Los Blancos are unwilling to get rid of this young prospect so easily, which is why they would also include a buy-back clause in case they wish to give Díaz a new chance.

Alvaro Odriozola

The Spanish right-back ended up seeing first-team action in the final stretch of the La Liga 2020/21 campaign after being sidelined for a long time with a calf injury. Alvaro Odriozola earned a spot among Real Madrid’s starting eleven, which is why AC Milan’s intentions of landing him are a bit pretentious. Besides, they also have Diogo Dalot in his position. Still, the Italian newspaper has linked them with a possible move for Odriozola, who stepped up with Los Blancos.

Dani Ceballos

The 24-year-old midfield’s future seems to be away from Real Madrid after spending the last twoseasons on loan at Arsenal. Dani Ceballos hasseen the field regularly underMikel Arteta, but he doesn’t seem to have room in the Merengues’ lineup, with the likes of Luka Modric,Toni Kroos, and Casemiro ahead of him. However, Real Madrid wouldn’t consider sending him on loan to the Gunners again, and they might demand a transfer fee. With HakanÇalhanoğlu‘s departure, Ceballos could be the right man to fill his vacancy in Milan.

Luka Jovic

The Serbia international has to return to Madrid after spending the second half of last season at Eintracht Frankfurt on loan. Unless Carlo Ancelotti decides to consider him, Luka Jovic’s time with Real Madrid could be over soon after having very few chances with the first team. Milan would evaluateadding more depth to their No. 9 options as Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently injured, leaving Mario Mandzukic and Rafael Leao as the only two outright strikers in the squad.
