The Last Dance. While Real Madrid is experiencing an obvious generational change, marked by the arrival of Jude Bellingham and the takeover of players like Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo Goes, a good number of players are experiencing their last matches in the Madrid tunic this season. While Karim Benzema, one of the standard bearers of the old Merengue guard, has already packed his bags this summer.
As the daily indicates Sport, Real Madrid has already planned five departures for next summer. The arrivals of fairly young players and the need to save money pushed managers to decide not to extend, or not to retain, these five elements.
The captains are going to pack their bags
We find there, unsurprisingly, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. The two midfielders, pillars of Real Madrid’s success in Europe over the last decade, will leave at the end of their contract. Which was, in any case, already planned by the Croatian and the German. Nacho and Lucas Vazquez, also important in recent years in a more secondary role, should also leave.
Finally, Andriy Lunin, who is a younger player and has much more to prove, will not be retained. Real Madrid did not trust him to replace the injured Courtois, and everything indicates that he will never get regular playing time in the first team. Notice to interested clubs…
