Like any transfer window, this one is sure to be filled with tons of players who could be on the move, especially for a club as big as Real Madrid. Who could be in and who could be out for Los Blancos this summer?
Disclaimer: This article focuses on players who will be in or out via transfer fee, not loans or free transfers like Jesus Vallejo or Pepe.
Out: Alvaro Morata – Forward
Morata joined Real Madrid at the young age of 15 back in 2008. He was pushed out of the Bernabeu in 2015, and would wind up in Juventus for two seasons before coming back. The reason for the departure the first time was his lack of playing time, and despite getting more in his return, he still apparently feels underplayed.
Morata honestly doesn’t play much, but when he does he usually maximizes his minutes and scores when you need a goal the most.Morata put in a solid campaign this past season putting 15 balls in the net as a second fiddle striker. But he wants more, which is understandable.
Possible suitors for Morata are Chelsea, AC Milan and the most prominently seen Manchester United.
Despite playing second fiddle, Alvaro won’t go for a small price tag. At just 24 years old, he still has tons of youth and prime years ahead of him. Notching 15 goals in 26 appearances as a backup is also no easy feat. If sold, expect Real Madrid to accept nothing less then something north of $45M.
