Real Madrid do not have the deepest of squads at the moment and that is one area that they need to improve in moving forward. But even then, there are a number of players who have struggled for playing time and failed to break into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans. It might be best for all parties involved for some of these players to complete exits.
The upcoming transfer window provides the perfect opportunity to do that and after the World Cup, clubs are expected to look for ways to strengthen their squads. Thus, this January is expected to be busier than they normally are.
As reported by Marca, Eden Hazard, Mariano Diaz and Alvaro Odriozola do not count in Ancelotti’s plans and the club invites them to listen to proposals, but for the moment they have not shown any sign of making a move in that regard.
Let’s see if the situation changes over the coming months but it is hard to see any of these players get more playing time as the season progresses, unless there is an injury crisis at Real Madrid.
Real Madrid want three players to complete transfer exits
Hazard is the all-time record signing for Real Madrid but it is safe to say that his time at the club has been a complete disappointment. This World Cup was seen as his last chance to show that he was still capable of performing at the top level. He failed to do that though and has since retired from international football.
On the other hand, Real Madrid could do with some more youth at right-back but Odriozola does not look like the guy who will provide that and he has not played a minute of football.
Mariano’s return to the club has been a failure as well and he is expected to be on his way out sooner or later, with his contract running out.
