Real Madrid Planning Major Squad Overhaul: Former Bayern Star David Alaba Leads Departure List

Real Madrid is reportedly planning a significant squad clear-out this coming summer.

Reports suggest that the Spanish giants are considering parting ways with a total of six players. Topping this potential departure list is former Bayern Munich defender David Alaba. His contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has recently been plagued by long-term injuries.

The future of Germany international Antonio Rüdiger also remains uncertain. While the central defender has fought his way back into the starting lineup in recent weeks, he too has missed significant time this season due to injuries.

Rüdiger’s contract runs until the end of June, but unlike Alaba, a decision on his future is reportedly still pending. Discussions regarding a potential contract extension are anticipated at the season’s conclusion. Should an agreement not be reached, a return to England appears to be a possibility.

Carvajal and Camavinga Also Feature on Real Madrid’s Potential Departure List

Veteran defender Dani Carvajal and midfielder Eduardo Camavinga are also among the high-profile names being linked with an exit. With Carvajal’s contract expiring, a free transfer seems likely for the Spanish international. Conversely, Real Madrid is reportedly keen to secure a substantial fee from the sale of the young French midfielder.

Sources indicate that Real Madrid would not stand in Camavinga’s way if an interested club offers a suitable transfer fee. English clubs are reportedly monitoring the defensive specialist, with Real Madrid valuing him at around €50 million.

Furthermore, left-backs Ferland Mendy and Fran García are also rumored to be leaving, as they are not seen as integral to Real Madrid’s current or future plans. Combined, the two defenders have amassed a mere 22 appearances this season, rarely starting matches.
