Real Madrid plans to "change blood" in the midfield, and clean up and sign up in sync

As the 2025/26 season approaches, Real Madrid is starting to adjust the squad. It is reported that the club plans to introduce a new midfielder before the transfer window is closed this summer, but only if some redundant staff must be cleared to free up registration places.

At present, Real Madrid's first team has 25 full players, and the four new players introduced this summer have also occupied multiple places. Therefore, if you want to continue to strengthen the midfield, someone must leave first.

Currently, several Real Madrid players are believed to be likely to leave this summer:

Fran Garcia and Rodrigo are considered the most likely to leave, but Spanish media generally predict that the club is more inclined to send a midfielder away.

Chu Ameni and Valverde are regarded as the core of the midfield, with a stable position and basically impossible to leave the team.

Camavenga and Sebalus are in a more subtle situation. Although Real Madrid did not take the initiative to sell the two, they were willing to listen to the offer. However, according to Sel Radio, the two players themselves are not willing to leave the Bernabeu.

Cebalus is approaching to return to Betis?

Cebalos is the most likely midfielder to leave the team. The Spanish midfielder is close to Betis and the team's coach and fans hope he can return. Betis chairman Angel Harrow also publicly expressed his interest in Sebalos, but emphasized: "We will not spend too much money on this transfer, which is not realistic."

Kroos pointed out the crux of Real Madrid's midfield

On July 7, Real Madrid legendary midfielder Tony Kroos said in an interview that he believes that what Real Madrid lacks most at the moment is an organizational midfielder like him.

"Real Madrid is looking for a player like me, but they find it is not easy to find in the market. There are not many truly talented midfielders, and even if they find it, it is not easy to sign."

Kroos's words also indirectly reveal the current dilemma of Real Madrid: after Modric gradually grows old and retires, the team has not yet found a stable tactical core to control the rhythm of the midfield.
