Five players at Real Madrid reportedly face uncertain futures at the LaLiga outfit, with the club planning a mass clearout in 2025. The list includes Ferland Mendy, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Fran García, Lucas Vázquez, and Dani Ceballos, according to a report by Fichajes.net.

Los Blancos are not having the season that they expected so far, especially with the arrivals of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick in the summer. Carlo Ancelotti's squad is also riddled with injuries in the ongoing campaign, specifically in the defense line, having about six players unavailable.

Real Madrid are currently second on the LaLiga table with 30 points, trailing table-toppers and arch-rivals Barcelona by four points, who have played one game extra. Los Blancos are ranked 24th in the UEFA Champions League with six points, having won only two out of their last five matches.

While there's more left of the ongoing season, Real Madrid's current form is a matter of concern to the club. Despite having prominent names in the squad, the Spanish side is struggling to find their groove. Now, Fichajes.net has reported that Los Blancos are plotting a mass clearout in the upcoming year.

French left-back Ferland Mendy, who joined Madrid in 2019 and was once a regular in the starting line-up, is on the list.

The 29-year-old has not been consistent in his form and with his contract ending in 2025, Los Blancos might consider letting him go, making space to sign Alphonso Davies as a free agent. The Bayern Munich star has been linked with a move to Santiago Bernabéu for a while now.

Next on the list is another left-back Fran Garcia, who has failed to create a prominent impression so far this season. The Spainiard's contract with Real Madrid runs until 2027 but the club is reportedly considering another of their academy graduates, Miguel Gutiérrez as Garcia's replacement.

Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is currently out with an ankle injury, also faces uncertainty about his future at Real Madrid. Despite the Frenchman's versatility, his inconsistent performance and injury woes have reportedly led the club to consider letting him go.

Lucas Vázquez's contract at Santiago Bernabéu is expiring next year and his potential departure will open up space to strengthen the squad at Real Madrid.

Lastly, Dani Ceballos' journey at the Spanish club might also come to an end in the upcoming season. Liverpool's Trent Alexander Arnold and Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz are the reported potential replacements of Vázquez and Ceballos, respectively.


Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur's Pedro Porro

Real Madrid are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur right-back Pedro Porro, according to SPORT. The Spanish club is in a tight spot, with Dani Carvajal out for the rest of the ongoing season due to a cruciate ligament tear, among other injuries.

While Carvajal's contract at Madrid has been extended until the summer of 2026, the LaLiga giants are expected to look for a long-term replacement for the 32-year-old. Pedro Porro is also reportedly on Los Blancos' radar amid links to Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Tottenham right-back has contributed to three clean sheets while recording two goals and two assists in 14 appearances across competitions so far this season. The 25-year-old's contract with the Premier League club runs until the summer of 2028.
