Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos among 8 players Real Madrid want to offload this summer Reports

Real Madrid set to offload Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos. Marco Asensio and Dani Ceballos are among the eight players that reportedly want to offload during the current transfer window. According to Spanish publication (h/t ), they are joined on that list by Mariano Diaz, Borja Mayoral, Alvaro Odriozola, Takefusa Kubo, Jesus Vallejo and Reinier Jesus. Los Blancos have had an eventful summer window so far. They have managed to sign Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer as well as French starlet Aurelien Tchouameni from . But it seems that they are now interested in offloading some of their expendable stars. Out of the names mentioned above, Ceballos and Asensio would be the ones that surprise fans the most.

The Spanish duo are in their mid-20s and have proven to be reliable squad options. But it seems they will not be handed any contract extensions, with both of them set to become free agents in the summer of 2023. In that case, it is wise on Madrid's part to offload them as soon as possible. Otherwise, they run the risk of losing them for nothing next year. Apart from that, the other names on the shortlist aren't all that surprising. None of them have succeeded in making themselves a regular part of Real Madrid's starting XI.

The current UEFA Champions League holders have already seen run down his contract and leave for the MLS. Marcelo and Isco have similarly been released, while Luka Jovic has already sealed a free transfer to Serie A side Fiorentina.

“Real Madrid's interest in Matheus Nascimento? As far as I know the player's father has spoken to at least 12 teams. We want a quick solution for his future and if we can't sign him to a long contract I prefer to sell him soon." John Textor (Botafogo owner): “Real Madrid's interest in Matheus Nascimento?

Karim Benzema, as good as he is, isn't getting any younger. Sooner or later, they will require a long-term replacement for him.
