Zidane's newest challenge: getting rid of 12 players in 22 days

The overbooking of players has worried the Santiago Bernabéu, where presentations for new reinforcements for Zinedine Zidane's team have rolled in, but no exits have been announced. 

While it is true that from the club emanates is looking calm, nervousness grows due to the passage of days and the lack of sales or transfers. The challenge is to confirm 12 departures in 22 days.

Although it is not strictly necessary, the ideal situation would be for Zinedine Zidane be to work only with the players who are going to continue on, with some exceptions that could make good last minute transfers in the last month of the transfer market. 

While Marcos Llorente completes his signing with Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid is confident that the sale of James Rodriguez to Napoli and Sergio Reguilon's loan will be happening.

The plans of Frenchman also exclude Dani Ceballos and Mateo Kovacic, just as Keylor Navas knows that Thibaut Courtois will be the team's first-choice goalkeeper next season.

Despite clinging to his contract, Gareth Bale is on the Chamartín exit ramp, as are offers from Lucas Vázquez and doubts about whether to concede to Brahim, Odegaard or Vinicius.
