3 Real Madrid players who have to stand out during pre-season
By Sudhir Salvi
Real Madrid are expected to carry out some serious transfer business in the ongoing window which will include an enforced sale of some first-team players.
The upcoming pre-season fixtures, which involve a friendly at Glasgow at the Ibrox Stadium against Rangers, could lead to making or breaking futures of some of the team’s players. One of the main changes Carlo Ancelotti is expected to bring in will be to provide chances to players who were frozen out by Zinedine Zidane over the last two campaigns.
The opportunities provided by Ancelotti could be the final few for some players as they may face a future away from the Santiago Bernabeu in the event that they fail to make use of chances. This list doesn’t only include those who were largely restricted to the bench in the past season, but also those who have returned from loan spells.
In addition to that, they will have abundant opportunities given that some of the otherwise regular players in the team will be on an extended vacation during these friendlies, as a result of their commitments with national teams at the European Championships and the Copa America.
Which three players have to stand out to salvage their Real Madrid careers next season?
