This is how RM will rejuvenate the squad

After their glorious period during Zidane's first spell and then a trophyless season last year (except the Club World Cup), Real Madrid are clear that they need to rebuild their squad. 'AS' says that the plans are well defined at the Santiago Bernabeu. 

Currently, the Real Madrid squad has up to seven footballers who are 30 or more. All of them, are part of the team who won three Champions Leagues in a row: Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Nacho.

The changes are currently occurring. Without so many veterans, their average age is 25.8 . And the thing is without these 30 plus old players, the average age would be just 23.9. That would include key footballers like Carvajal, Varane and Casemiro. 

The signings of very young players like Vinicius and Rodrygo adds to others like Jovic and Militao, young talents who have already shone in Europe. In addition, Fede Valverde and Mendy are beginning to take the place of veterans like Modric (34) and Marcelo (31). 

Basically, that is Real Madrid's plan with their squad: a natural transition. The Uruguayan and the Frenchman should be joined by Achraf Hakimi and Martin Odegaard in the summer. 

After two years on loan at Borussia Dortmund, at Real Madrid they see the Moroccan ready to fight with Carvajal (even though Achraf is doubting whether to return). 'Los Blancos' are also planning for the Norwegian to return in July although he will take the final decision. Zidane will welcome him with open arms if he decides to come back. 

Other names like Reguilon and Dani Ceballos are in Real Madrid's plans although their situations are different. The left back is not sure because of Mendy and as Marcelo is staying, even though the Brazilian's performances have dropped a lot. 

It remains to be seen what happens with the midfielder. He is not playing for Arsenal even though the board still have faith in him. Both Reguilon and Dani Ceballos are 23 and could form part of the rejuvenation of the squad which Real Madrid will do more intensely from this summer.
