If nothing else, Parisian striker Kylian Mbappe is likely to make a free move to Real Madrid this summer. According to the latest news provided by Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have agreed personal salary terms with Mbappe. Mbappe will be compensated for a signing fee of 100 million euros after joining Real Madrid, and Real Madrid will share the player's image rights with Mbappe. In this way, Real Madrid will give Mbappe the maximum salary compensation without breaking the salary structure of the team. The arrival of Mbappe is also likely to cause some changes in Real Madrid's squad, and some players are likely to leave Real Madrid because of Mbappe's arrival.
Real Madrid's main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was injured, and Real Madrid immediately signed Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from the Blues Chelsea as a replacement for Courtois. Kepa's performance in the early days of joining Real Madrid was recognized by coach Carlo Ancelotti and once occupied the position of Real Madrid's main goalkeeper. However, since January 21 last year, Kepa has not made his debut for Real Madrid due to injury. During Kepa's injury, another substitute goalkeeper, Lunin, was recognised for his performances. According to As, Real Madrid will not activate Kepa's buy-out clause at the end of the season, meaning the Real Madrid defender will return to his former club Chelsea at the end of the season. And Real Madrid will also take advantage of the situation to open contract renewal negotiations with substitute goalkeeper Lu Ning.
In addition to Mbappe, 17-year-old Brazilian striker Endrick will also join Real Madrid this summer. During the international break, Endrick played for Brazil in a friendly against England and scored the winning goal to score his first goal for the Brazilian national team. The talent and quality of the talented Brazilian goalscorer is visible to the naked eye. In order to give way to Mbappe and Endrick, Real Madrid is likely to make some adjustments to the forward line. Brazilian striker Rodrygo is likely to fall victim to the arrival of Endrick and Mbappe at Real Madrid this summer.
Rodrygo is 23 years old and his current contract with Real Madrid expires in 2028. This season, he has 13 goals and 8 assists in 41 games for Real Madrid in all competitions, and the current player is valued at 100 million euros. According to Spanish media outlet El Nacional, Reds Liverpool have made an €80 million transfer offer to Real Madrid for Rodrygo. Liverpool's leading goalscorer Mohamed Salah is likely to head to the Saudi league at the end of the season, while Liverpool have already eyed Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Salah. It is reported that Real Madrid will not consider a transfer offer of less than 100 million euros, so Liverpool will have to increase the offer if they want to get Rodrygo in order to meet Real Madrid's requirements.
