Los Blancos can raise significant sums of money by letting these players go, and at the same time strengthen other positions
Real Madrid are already planning for the upcoming transfer window, and the strategy includes not only new signings, but also a large sales operation to raise funds to reinforce key areas. Four names are central to the discussion: Rodrygo Goes, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler and Ferland Mendy.

1. Rodrygo
Situation:
- Has shown flashes of quality but lacks consistency
- Hasn’t broken through as expected in crucial games
Why sell?
If a good offer comes, Madrid could make a good profit on a player who is no longer indispensable – especially with Endrick and Kylian Mbappé on the way in.
2. Aurélien Tchouaméni
Situation:
- French international, but has not convinced the sporting director or coaching staff
- Camavinga and Valverde have taken over as the first quality in midfield
Why sell?
A sale can free up both space and money for a more dominant midfield profile.
3. Arda Güler
Situation:
- Arrived as a great talent, but has had injury problems and limited playing time
- Fierce competition for the place (Bellingham, Brahim Díaz and others)
Why sell?
A youngster with potential can provide a good return – and he needs games elsewhere to develop.
4.
Situation:
- His contract is about to expire, and he wants a salary increase – something the club will not give
- Fran García and any new left-backs could take over
Why sell?
Frees up salary capacity and provides the opportunity to bring in a more offensive back.
What can Madrid achieve?
Selling these four players could provide:
✅ Financial leeway for new star signings
✅ A place in the squad for younger talents and key players
✅ A more balanced squad with more competitive options
Club president Florentino Pérez wants to take Madrid to the next level – and these sales could be crucial in financing the next step.
