Just a few weeks back, it was reported that Real Madrid were planning for a rather quiet summer transfer window in 2025, with Trent Alexander-Arnold being the only concrete target at this point. No major exits were expected either unless something drastic happened.
However, the 2-1 defeat to Real Betis in La Liga last weekend seems to have created some uncertainties within the club.
As reported earlier this week, concerns had grown within the club offices with the attitude of the squad after the Betis loss and it may spark some major decisions.
Several players could leave
Indeed, according to journalist Jose Felix Diaz (via Ruben Martin YouTube), there are several players who could leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
The Spanish capital giants are considering making some changes to the squad next season. What happened against Real Betis last weekend has set the attention on some players and certain attitudes in the locker room.
As such, it is not ruled out that there will be some departures from Real Madrid before the next season kicks off.
Modric’s renewal no longer certain
The journalist further states that the renewal of club captain Luka Modric, which appeared to be quite certain not so long ago, now appears to be difficult.
The 39-year-old midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season and there may now be a possibility that Real Madrid decide against offering him an extension.
Meanwhile, as reported earlier today, Lucas Vazquez’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu is also far from certain, with no renewal talks taking place with him either.
It remains to be seen how the situation evolves and a lot could depend on how Real Madrid finish the season. But there may be some restructuring in the squad come summer.
