What does Real Madrid's Copa del Rey exit mean for their future? 

#1 New Arrivals and a New Manager

Rodrygo Goes is expected to join Real Madrid this summer

This summer, Real Madrid will have to dive into the market for new stars. Among the new arrivals would be Rodrygo Goes, who is on loan at Santos FC and is due in the Spanish capital in July. The Brazilian wonderkid, was purchased at the start of this season for a rumored €40 million and is touted for big things. Brahim Diaz will also be like a new signing when he would get his first proper pre-season. Real need to bring a top center back like Eder Militao Or Matthijs de Ligt to give competition to Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane.

A much improved Martin Odegaard, who has taken the Eredivisie by the storm will return from his loan. Mateo Kovacic could comeback from Chelsea too. Among the returnees from La Liga include Theo Hernandez form Real Sociedad, Raul de Tomas from Rayo Vallecano and Borja Mayoral from Levante.

It is their forward line where Madrid require the maximum investment. They could go for any of; Eden Hazard, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Mauro Icardi, Paulo Dybala and Mohammed Salah to strengthen the squad. A swap deal involving Bale or Asensio is an option they could use. However, if that is not possible, then Real still has the financial might to buy them directly from their clubs.

A new manager would complete their summer overhaul. Real should seek a manager with a dynamic personality and a proven track record in Europe. Candidates are the likes of Antonio Conte, Joachim Low, Mauricio Pochettino and Max Allegri fit the bill.
