Real Madrid's new round of purge is opened, and it is expected to recover 100 million, and Liverpool will take over
It is known that Real Madrid have a huge recruitment plan in the summer transfer window, and they have locked in Mbappe in advance. At the same time, there will be a focus on strengthening the positions of central striker, midfielder and full-back. It can be said that Real Madrid are ready to make up for all the shortcomings in the team in the off-season, which will allow them to build on the strength of the current stage. And the large number of stars brought in means that there are stars to leave.
Just now, according to the news brought by the Spanish media Le Monde Sport. Real Madrid's next three players have already confirmed their departures: midfield leader Luka Modric, left-back Edouard Mendy and right-winger Rodrygo. The departures of Luka Modric and Edouard Mendy were in fact expected. Modric has no intention of continuing to renew his contract with the team this summer, and Real Madrid are willing to let him go. In addition to his departure, the decorated veteran will also receive a tribute from Real Madrid at the end of the season. He will be greeted with a grand farewell ceremony at home, and Luka Modric will leave amid flowers and applause.
On top of that, Mendy's de facto departure was a precursor to this. Because since Real Madrid spent more than 40 million euros to bring him to the team, he has not been able to play as well as he should. Real Madrid were originally aiming for his name as a wide talent, hoping to build him into another Carvajal of the team, with the two on the left and the right. But it's a shame that Mendy's performance was tepid, with no major faults, but no highlight moments. This made Real Madrid gradually disillusioned with it. Especially after the team made up their minds to bring in Alphonso Davies this summer, Mendy has lost his place. His departure is also a matter of time.
As for right winger Rodrigo, his departure was in fact expected. After the team brought in Mbappe and Endrick, Real Madrid's forward line was extremely competitive. Kylian Mbappe will inevitably lock in the left winger position, while Endrick will play in the middle. As a result, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. will be battling it out for the right winger position, but with their current squad position, Rodrygo is completely out of contention. And he was also a left winger before, and it was because Vinicius couldn't compete that he was squeezed to the right wing. The plot will repeat itself again in the future.
For a striker of Rodrygo's calibre, a player whose career is on the rise is seen as a wing talent. But at Real Madrid, there is a possibility that he will be on the bench next season, which is unacceptable to the players. He would rather join other teams in search of some turnaround, and the Premier League has already been approached by teams including Liverpool and Chelsea. If he can join these teams, there is no doubt that the Brazilian youngster will be the focus of the team's development in the future. At Real Madrid, it is clear that he will not get much tactical resources to tilt, and after several considerations, Rodrygo's team wants to operate to make a transfer.
It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid are also happy to see Rodrygo leave. After all, the team's recruitment plans for this summer are too large, which means that the treasury needs to spend a lot of transfer fees. Once Rodrigo leaves, he will get a transfer fee of 80 or 90 million or even more than 100 million euros. That would be a huge relief for Real Madrid's finances. When there are enough talented superstars in the team, Real Madrid simply doesn't care about losing a striker who has diminished in importance. This is also their consistent team-building style, where capable people live. Real Madrid has always implemented the principle of the supremacy of strength, and the old stars and weak stars have no place in the Galaxy Battleship.
As things stand, Rodrigo's departure is a foregone conclusion. Despite the grapevine, Rodrygo wants to compete with Vinicius, Mbappe and others for winger positions next season. But this is not realistic at all, and it is likely to be a signal from its team. As long as Real Madrid continue with their original recruitment plans, it is only a matter of time before Rodrygo leaves. So in your opinion, after a new round of blood changes this summer, what kind of terrifying level will Real Madrid reach next season?
