3 expectations from Real Madrid for the month of August

Real Madrid face a demanding August, which sees them get their La Liga campaign underway and play three times in the Spanish top-flight.

Before kicking off against Deportivo Alaves ten days from now, they face an AC Milan side in a friendly Sunday. After officially getting underway in the league on the 14th of August, Los Blancos face two more demanding fixtures against Levante and Real Betis – both away from home – and they must make a strong start to the season under Carlo Ancelotti.

Besides the fixtures, there is also a lot of optimism in the Real Madrid fanbase over a massive galactic signing incoming by the end of this month. Kylian Mbappe is obviously the player which everyone moots the club to sign, but even if the club signs Cristiano Ronaldo – who is interested in returning to the Santiago Bernabeu – or Erling Haaland, it will be considered a success.

In addition to that, the club will also expect to make some sales as they need money and more than a handful of players from the current roster are not deserving of a spot at Real Madrid. What are the three things to expect from the Whites by the end of August?
