Eduardo Camavinga is among those up for sale as the club looks to raise funds, though the France midfielder is reportedly reluctant to leave and wants to fight for his place under José Mourinho. Aurélien Tchouaméni's situation remains more delicate: Manchester United continue to monitor the World Cup finalist, and Real Madrid will have to decide on his future if the Rodri deal advances, even though the club has previously shown no urgency to sell him.
In attack, the picture is similarly unresolved. Vinícius Júnior's contract renewal talks, which stalled for much of the year, have gathered momentum in recent weeks, with both camps reportedly working towards an extension.
Real Madrid's forward planning still points to at least one exit among the club's younger strikers, with Gonzalo García and Endrick the two names under most scrutiny.
Gonzalo García, 22, has drawn concrete interest from Fulham, where new manager Álvaro Arbeloa — who worked closely with the striker in Madrid's academy — is pushing to bring him to west London. Mourinho is said to rate García highly but has stopped short of guaranteeing him regular minutes, and multiple reports in the past week suggest the final call may rest with the player himself.
Endrick, meanwhile, is due back in training at Valdebebas in the coming days after returning from a productive loan spell at Lyon last season. According to ESPN, the 19-year-old wants to stay and fight for a place, but the club has not ruled out sending him out again, with Mourinho expected to use pre-season fixtures to judge whether he is ready to compete with García for a role behind Kylian Mbappé.
Both forwards' futures are expected to become clearer once Real Madrid's pre-season schedule progresses further into August.
