Real Madrid have had a roller-coaster ride this season, with the club dropping to third in the Primera División and suffering an early exit from Copa Del Rey at the hands of minnows Leganes.
However, despite their feeble performances, Los Blancos still managed to reach the UEFA Champions League final, overcoming the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern Munich in the process.
The Spanish giants are now up against Liverpool in the Champions League final showdown at Kiev on 26 May 2018.
With the transfer market in full swing and high-profile clubs ready to grab the headlines with their big-money moves, we are expected to see a number of Real Madrid players being offloaded.
So without further ado, let us take a look at top 3 players predicted to leave Real Madrid this summer.
#3 Karim Benzema
If we had to pick out one player culpable for Los Blancos' anaemic performances this season, it would be Karim Benzema who would come to the fore.
The French striker underwent a terrible spell at Santiago Bernabeu this season, managing only 11 goals in 46 appearances he made.
The 30-year-old found himself in the firing line almost throughout the season, with Madridistas invariably calling for the Frenchman's head. It is highly unlikely that Benzema would be able to continue amid fierce retaliation from the fans.
Another threat to the Frenchman's stay at Santiago Bernabeu is Real Madrid's intense pursuit of the Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski. The Pole is being tipped to join Los Blancos imminently, persuading the club to cash in on the French international.
According to Daily Star, Arsenal have already begun their quest for Karim Benzema and have held talks with his agent in Madrid. If the aforementioned report is to be believed, the Gunners are ready to splurge €60m on the French international.

#2 Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale's recent season was marred with unfortunate injuries, and saw him falling down the pecking order under Zidane. The Welshman's position was frequently appropriated by the Spanish duo - Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio.
However, he still managed to make 26 appearances for Los Blancos in La Liga, in which he scored 16 goals. The 28-year-old is expected to make a switch to the Premier League in the current transfer window after an injury-stricken season at Bernabeu.
The Welsh international is heavily linked with Manchester United and his former club, Tottenham Hotspur. Reportedly, the Champions League final could be a major climacteric in Bale's future at the club.
#1 Isco
Unlike his two teammates on the list, Isco put on impressive performances this season which is why he might not be seen at the Santiago Bernabeu in the upcoming campaign.
Top Premier League clubs are circling like sharks to lure the Spanish international away from Los Blancos.
According to Daily Express, the 26-year-old is being pursued by top quality clubs including the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Juventus and Bayern Munich. Under the circumstances, the Spaniard's departure from Real Madrid seems inevitable.
