That’s it, Real Madrid players have resumed training at Valdebebas. The opportunity for some recruits like Jude Bellingham or Arda Güler to go back to school, perhaps waiting for the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. Each summer, this pre-season period is crucial to try to impose itself within the plethoric Madrid workforce. That said, Carlo Ancelotti would have already told one of his defensive elements that he was not counting on him.
Indeed, what had been put forward by SER padlock was confirmed from Valdebebas, since the Italian coach would have made it clear to Jesus Vallejo that a departure from the club would be preferable. The 26-year-old centre-back made just one La Liga appearance last season and his status hasn’t improved this summer. Leaving his jersey number twice to new recruits (5 for Bellingham then 24 for Güler) and yet wishing to fight for his place, the former Wolves player was gently pushed towards the exit by Carlo Ancelotti.
