Real Madrid refrained from renewing the contracts of Gareth Bale, Isco Alarcon (30) and Marcelo (34), which expired on June 30. The three veterans will leave the Spanish record champions at the end of the month.
Jesus Vallejo should go after the Rüdiger deal
According to information from the sports daily Mundo Deportivo, those responsible are planning another squad clean-up. Among other things, central defender Jesus Vallejo (25, contract until 2025), who plays no role under Carlo Andreotti and would have a difficult time after Antonio Rüdiger’s commitment, should go.
Where the former Frankfurter is going is still open. According to reports, several clubs from the Primera Division are interested in a loan. Real would probably prefer to sell the defender.

Dani Ceballos and Mariano Diaz have no future at Real
According to MD Dani Ceballos, there is also no future at Blancos. The central midfielder was never happy after moving from Betis to Madrid in the summer of 2017 after an individually outstanding U21 European Championship. Ceballos (25, contract until 2023) is aiming for a return to Andalusia but Betis are struggling to fund his prodigal son.

Mariano Diaz (28, contract until 2023) does not play a role in Carlo Ancelotti’s (62) plans and is to be handed over, as is 60 million flop Luka Jovic (24, contract until 2025), who could be awarded. Jovic is said to be positive about a loan deal and would like to stay in Spain. Keeper Andriy Lunin (23, contract until 2024) should also leave the capital on loan, but extend it beforehand.
Marco Asensio, who celebrated his sporting rebirth under Ancelotti after a long injury break, should actually stay at Concha Espina, but the 26-year-old has so far shown no willingness to extend his contract, which expires in 2023. Real Madrid are therefore said to be ready to sell if a reasonable offer is received.
