Nine Real Madrid players could be on way out

There are just a few months left until the end of the season, which will also see three Real Madrid players' contracts expire. They are Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Isco Alarcon. Even if they leave for free, the club's wage bill will be reduced by 60 million euros. 

And that money will help to sign Kylian Mbappe, Madrid's main target this summer. Bale is one of the highest paid players in La Liga: a whopping 2.26 million euros gross a month. 

As well as those three footballers, Real Madrid are thinking of selling Jesus Vallejo, Dani Ceballos, Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Mariano and Lunin, according to 'AS'. 

The most eyecatching departure would be that of the Belgian striker, who joined the club from Chelsea. He was brilliant for the Premier League and there was talk of him replacing Cristiano Ronaldo, but his constant injuries have led to him hardly playing regularly. 'Los Blancos' hope to get at least 40 million euros from his sale. 

A total of nine players could say goodbye to the Santiago Bernabeu to start a new adventure elsewhere. That is practically a third of the 25 footballers Carlo Ancelotti has in these moments. That would alleviate the club's finances considerably.
