Real Madrid's 100 million euros signing of the best player in the Bundesliga during last year's summer window Bellingham played an important and irreplaceable role in the team's early league championship this season, defeating Manchester City and Bayern in the Champions League and reaching the final. However, beauties are easy to grow old, heroes are twilight, and every year in the summer window, there will be veterans who choose to say goodbye to European football, which makes fans sad.
Nacho
According to Marca, the 34-year-old captain of Real Madrid will leave Real Madrid this summer and his next stop is likely to be the MLS and the Saudi league, although the media has frequently linked him with Inter, Nacho has no intention of staying in Europe. Since making his senior debut in 2013, Nacho has made more than 358 career appearances for Real Madrid, contributing 16 goals and 10 assists, helping the team win 24 trophies, including five Champions Leagues, five Club World Cups and three La Liga.
Nacho is a rare all-rounder in the Real Madrid backline, and he can adapt to almost every position at the back. Especially in this season, when Alaba, Militão and Militão are almost reimbursed for the season, Nacho is the undisputed anchor of Real Madrid's backline.
Lewandowski
According to Spanish media sources, Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is likely to leave Barcelona this summer. Since moving to Barcelona from Bayern Munich for €45 million in July 2022, he has been Barcelona's top scorer, scoring 33 goals in his first season with Barcelona and winning the La Liga Golden Boot.
Lewandowski has reached the age of 35 this season, and although he can still contribute the top data of "24+9", he is obviously a little weak in the strong dialogue. Moreover, Lewandowski will have a total annual salary of more than 85 million euros in the next three seasons (2023-2026), and the huge annual salary has also become an increasingly heavy burden for Barcelona.
On the Barcelona side, the 18-year-old Brazilian talented striker Roque and the 16-year-old Spanish talented striker Yamal have gradually become big generals, plus the Mesozoic Ferran, Raphinha and others, Lewandowski is no longer indispensable. Considering Barcelona's poor financial situation, if Barcelona sells Lewandowski, it will further improve Barcelona's financial situation and save enough money to bring in new signings. Although he himself is not willing to leave the club this summer, if the Barcelona hierarchy is determined to purge him, then a trip to the major leagues will be a high probability.
Royce
Borussia Dortmund have officially announced that the club has reached an agreement with the 34-year-old Reuss, who will leave the club this summer. As Borussia Dortmund's decorated captain, Reus has played for the Hornets for 12 years since joining in 2012, making a total of 415 appearances, contributing 167 goals and 128 assists. Royce is talented and has dedicated his entire career to the Hornets, even though many giants, including Bayern and Real Madrid, have tried to poach him with high salaries, but the loyal Reus has never been moved.
Royce's career has always been accompanied by injuries, including ankle and ligament tears, as many as 65 times, and missed 5 major international competitions such as the World Cup in South Africa, the World Cup in Brazil, and the European Championship in France.
Reuss has been selected for the Bundesliga Team of the Year 6 times, the Bundesliga MVP 3 times, the German Footballer of the Year 2 times, and has won 3 German Super Cups and 2 German Cups, but he has never won the most important Bundesliga title. Borussia Dortmund have missed out on the league title this season, but they have made it all the way to the Champions League final, and it would be comforting to say goodbye to the Champions League title in the final season. However, against Champions League champions Real Madrid, Reus and Borussia Dortmund will need to play perfectly to finally realize their dreams.
Ramos
Former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos left Real Madrid for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021. After two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, he left on a free transfer at the end of his contract with Paris in the summer of 2023 and joined Sevilla in La Liga. He will become a free agent again at the end of the season, according to World Sports, Ramos will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, and the Saudi league and the major leagues will once again throw an olive branch to him, and the 38-year-old defender may say goodbye to Europe's top five leagues.
Ramos played for Real Madrid for 16 years as the captain of Real Madrid, winning five La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, four Club World Cups, two Copa del Rey titles, four Spanish Super Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, and many other honours.
Olivier Giroud
Olivier Giroud, who currently plays for Serie A giants AC Milan, will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season and could be his next home for Major League League club Los Angeles. Although the signing of the two sides has not yet been officially announced, all aspects have been finalized, Giroud will sign a one-and-a-half-year contract with the major league team, that is, until the end of 2025, and the contract will also include a one-year extension clause, which, if activated, means that Giroud will play until the age of 40.
The 37-year-old Giroud has played for Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan and other giants in his career, scoring a total of 285 goals and 97 assists in his career, and this season he is 37 years old to contribute "16+9" data, is the top scorer in the AC Milan team, and the number of assists also ranks third in the team.
