Real Madrid identify two key players as candidates for summer exit | OneFootball

Real Madrid are preparing to spend big this summer, but in order to do this, funds must be recouped from sales. They’re about to receive €20m as part of Victor Munoz’s move from Osasuna to Liverpool, but more will be needed to ensure that they can afford to bring in all of their desired targets during the upcoming transfer window.

One way to guarantee this is for a big sale to be made. Mourinho wants a fresh start at the Bernabeu after two dismal seasons in a row, and the consequence of this could be that one or two familiar faces are moved on – and Real Madrid are already preparing for this, with candidates having already been lined up.

According to Diario AS, Real Madrid would be prepared to entertain offers for French midfield pair Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. Both players are no longer considered to be non-transferable, with various factors having worked against them in recent months.

In Camavinga’s case, he had a very poor 2025-26 season. When he wasn’t injured, he struggled for any sort of form, and that meant he was regularly left out of the starting line-up. If Mourinho continues this, it would make sense to cash in on while his value is still high.

As for Tchouameni, his fight with Fede Valverde at the end of last season has left his future with an asterisk. The pair have since made up, but Real Madrid cannot afford a similar incident to occur in the future, which gives them a reasons to sell the 26-year-old, especially as he is attracting interest from Chelsea.

It’ll be interesting to see whether moves are made towards selling Camavinga or Tchouameni, but right now, neither player is assured of their place at Real Madrid next season.
