Real Madrid play the inaugural edition of the Club World Cup in just eight days, facing Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia in their first match on the 18th of June.
It will be a fun watch as that will mark the first match of the Xabi Alonso era, and it remains to be seen just how well the new coach does with his tactics and setups.
There are a couple of new signings as well - as well as a few potential departures - who would play for Real Madrid in that competition.
Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold will both feature for the club in the Club World Cup, and it is something that most fans both wanted and expected to see.
However, Real Madrid's latest signing - unofficially, but it is according to Fabrizio Romano - will not be taking part in it.
Real Madrid have signed Franco Mastantuono from River Plate for 45 million dollars, and they will have him during the time Jude Bellingham recovers from his shoulder injury.
Real Madrid's latest signing will not play for them in Club World Cup
However, Mastantuono will not play for Real Madrid in the United States of America, as River Plate have officially included him in their team list for the competition.
Real Madrid have the same problem with Alvaro Carreras, but there is a long way to go before that agreement is done with Benfica in the first place.
Here, everything was done, but River Plate wanted to keep Mastantuono with them for the competition.
There was also some issue with him not being over 18, but other reports of him having a valid Italian passport changed it slightly.
However, it is still very much confirmed that Mastantuono will not play for Real Madrid during the forthcoming competition, so, for anyone who was waiting for the Argentine to lace his boots and wear the Madrid white - you would have to wait for a bit longer.
