Real Madrid have already spent €80m on four signings, and the next part of the window is about moving players out. Eduardo Camavinga, Raúl Asencio and Fran García are all being put in the conversation as the club look to balance the squad and keep room for more business.
The spending already done
The first wave of arrivals was not small. Madrid have brought in Ibrahima Konate, Denzel Dumfries, Marc Cucurella and Bernardo Silva, and the reported outlay has reached €80m. Florentino Perez is also said to be targeting up to €150m from player sales, which tells you where the pressure now sits.
That is why the exit list matters more than the usual summer noise. When the transfer window opens next week, Madrid are expected to consider offers, and they are not planning to block a move if it helps a player’s development.
The names on the exit list
Camavinga is the most obvious headline case because Madrid are said to want €60m for him. At the same time, reports say he does not want to leave this summer, so the price tag and the player’s stance are already pulling in different directions.
Asencio is in a different position. He is described as being behind Ibrahima Konate, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen in the centre-back pecking order. His valuation is close to €25m, but the sale is also being described as complicated because of his new wages after renewal.
Fran García looks the cleanest exit of the three. He is valued at €20m and has dropped to fourth choice in his position, which makes him easier to move than Camavinga or Asencio.
There is a squad-planning angle here too. UEFA Champions League rules are described as requiring at least 8 players of the same nationality and at least 4 academy-trained players, and last season Madrid had ten players listed as national options in the article: Carvajal, Asencio, Carreras, Fran García, Camavinga, Valverde, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Vinicius and Gonzalo.
That is the part Madrid have to keep in view while they try to sell. A clear-out helps the balance sheet, but too much movement from the same pool can leave the registration picture less comfortable than it looks on paper.
