Real Madrid‘s top transfer target in the 2021 summer transfer window is undoubtedly Kylian Mbappe. He is the most valuable player in the world and maybe the only person who can transform the attack into the vaunted force a Real Madrid attack needs to be.

But signing Mbappe is going to be extremely difficult, even if PSG come to the realization that they must sell with one year left on his deal. In order to buy, Real Madrid must, themselves, sell.

Let’s rank the five players who could help Los Blancos get an easier path to signing Kylian Mbappe from a financial perspective.

5. AM Isco

Isco’s future with Real Madrid is cloudy at best. When Zinedine Zidane was still the manager, it looked like Isco’s future was non-existent, though it seems that Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment has also given the 29-year-old some hope that he could stay for at least one more season.

Since Ancelotti is so good at working with players, veterans like Isco could get another chance, because Ancelotti could want some time to evaluate them. Isco has been a very good player for Real in the past. He wasn’t bad for them in 2019-2020 when he last played meaningful minutes.

Still, Isco is one of the expected departures this summer. Real Madrid could get around 20 million euros for him, as Isco can be an asset to a side that isn’t expecting a trophy every year. He’d also be a relief to the wage bill.
