According to a report from the highly-respected outlet, The Athletic, Real Madrid are facing an unusual problem: they have too many talented attackers in their squad.
As a result, the club’s management believes some departures are necessary this summer in order to balance the team and manage the wage bill effectively.
The primary cause of this attacking logjam is the high-profile arrivals of superstar Kylian Mbappé and the prodigious Brazilian talent, Endrick. Their integration into the squad alongside existing stars like Vinícius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo means that playing time will be fiercely competitive.
This development sheds new light on the future of Rodrygo. While Real Madrid have previously set a massive asking price of over €100 million for the winger, their acknowledged need to sell players could force them to be more open to negotiations with interested clubs, such as Liverpool, should a suitable offer be made.
Beyond the biggest names, other forwards like Brahim Díaz could also be considered for a move away if the right bids arrive. The club is now faced with making difficult decisions about who will be part of the project moving forward.
What is a dream for fans—an attack full of world-class superstars—has become a complex management puzzle for the club. Real Madrid’s summer is now set to be defined not just by their spectacular signings, but also by the high-profile departures that must inevitably follow.
