The former depend on the titles they won, while the latter, limited to one year extensions, largely depend on the first.
While the Merengues seem to be finalizing an agreement for the Liverpool star, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and began to take an interest in Dean Huijsen, from Bournemouth, their decisions concerning departures will probably take place in May or June, once their season defined by the results. Ancelotti has another year of contract, but if he wins neither the Liga nor the Champions League, there is a good chance that he will be dismissed.
Ancelotti threatened
If a new coach arrives this summer, the future of several players will be uncertain. Sport indicates that Thibaut Courtois, Fede Valverde, Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham are pillars of the Real Madrid project, while other players like Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, Brahim Diaz, Antonio Rudiger and Aurélien Tchouameni are considered key elements. Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavonga and Andriy Lunin will remain theoretically, while Endrick Felipe and Arda Guller are more likely to stay if Ancelotti leaves.
Alonso strongly expected to replace Carlo Ancelotti
However, several players will need the approval of the Ancelotti successor to continue playing the club. The only player assured to leave is Jesus Vallejo at the end of his contract, but a new coach would have carte blanche to decide the future of Ferland Mendy, Fran Garcia, Lucas Vazquez, Luka Modric and David Alaba.
The only surprise on this list is perhaps Alaba, returning from a serious knee injury, but which, when it is in good shape, has been holder for Ancelotti. Summer promises to be hectic for Real Madrid, and if he goes far in the Club World Cup, his season will not end until July, which will leave a new coach for a short time to settle and prepare.
