Rodrygo among five players who could leave Madrid

Endrick could be sent out on loan

Madrid players will reconvene for pre-season on August 4

WHAT HAPPENED?

Xabi Alonso will conduct the first training session of Madrid's pre-season on August 4 at Valdebebas, after which the club will step up their efforts to sell the five footballers. According to AS, Rodrygo, Endrick, David Alaba, Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy are the players who are likely to leave Los Blancos this summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In the case of Rodrygo, Madrid will only take a final decision after the player has a chat with manager Alonso. They currently value the player at €100 million (£87m/$116m) and are unlikely to lower their asking price. Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool had earlier shown interest in the Selecao star, while Tottenham are the latest club to join the transfer race.

DID YOU KNOW?

Endrick, who recently suffered a fresh injury setback, is likely to remain sidelined during the start of the new season. The Brazilian wonderkid will not be sold permanently, but the club could consider a loan move so that the youngster gets more game time.

WHAT NEXT FOR REAL MADRID?

The Spanish giants will kick off the 2025-26 campaign on August 19 as they host Osauna in their season opener. (GOAL)
