RM's problem due to coronavirus crisis
Real Madrid will have to look to ajust that packed squad for next season. This time, the urgency to look for a club for those players who will not play is greater.
Despite the fact that they have managed to deal with the effects of the coronavirus crisis better than other teams, Real Madrid will have to face quite a hectic transfer window when they can finally sell players.
Real Madrid have got one of the largest squads in the league, not only because of their players, but also because of their players out on loan elsewhere.
Therefore, according to 'Marca', Real Madrid will get into difficulty in a few months. The clubs' purchasing power will drop significantly and Real Madrid will not be able to loan out players as easily.
The newspaper says that Areola's contract is going to end and Lunin will be back as number two if nothing strange happens. Not much change in goal, but many changes among the academy players.
At the moment, Real have Odriozola, Vallejo, Achraf, Reguilón, Ceballos, Odegaard, Borja Mayoral, Óscar Rodríguez and Kubo out on loan. Reinier will have to be added to that list. He is currently playing for the B team and cannot join the first team because the La Liga side have used up the full allocation of non-EU players. Sending a player out on loan to another club normally does the trick, but now it remains to be seen what will happen.
Real Madrid are also thinking of selling some players. The aim is to make around 100 million euros and let Bale, James and even Mariano leave. Ceballos could also depart although the club would try and get more money for him: he has a future and market value. The problem is the same as for the players out on loan: the clubs do not have much money.
Although 'Los Blancos' have managed to deal with the crisis so far, they could have problems in the summer if they are unable to sell their players.
