Real Madrid To Axe Seven First Team Players This Summer; Manchester United Could End Up Landing Three Of Them!

Having won the La Liga title after a long domination from the Catalan giants, Real Madrid are now looking ready to dominate the next few years, with Zinedine Zidane at the head.

Los Blancos have now become the first team to win back to back Champions League titles and are easily the best team at the moment in Europe.

They have a star-studded squad that can beat even the best teams in Europe but in what is a bizarre report, it is claimed that they will now make a massive squad overhaul this summer and are that they are ready to let upto seven players leave the senior squad this summer.

According to Spanish news outfit AS, the 12 time European Champions are now looking to sell seven, star players and the report confirms that Manchester United are after two of those players.

The includes 29-year old Portuguese defender Fabio Coentrao who is expected to leave on loan to Sporting after having an injury plagued stint at the Spanish capital.

Fellow Portuguese defender Pepe is now out of a contract and is not expected to get a new one. He is wanted by French giants PSG who lost the title to Monaco and a few other clubs in England.

Full-back Danilo is also expected to leave this summer with Italian giants Inter Milan interested while striker Mariano Diaz is expected to join Real Betis, Deportivo or Malaga this summer.

Shot stopper Keylor Navas had a horrid time this season and is not expected to be the first choice in the upcoming campaign. He also does not have any suitors and could be used as a part of the deal to land Manchester United man David de Gea.

The other two stars the English giants are linked to on the list are Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez and Spanish attacker Alvaro Morata.

Both players have been in fine form but have not seen first team chances easy to come by at the Bernabeu.

Rodriguez was not in the squad that faced Juventus in the Champions League final and is wanted by Manchester United and PSG. He may join another club yet but is sure to leave the Spanish capital.

Morata, on the other hand, has a lot of suitors from AC Milan to Chelsea while Jose Mourinho is desperately waiting at Old Trafford.

Selling so many players may not be advisable for Real Madrid but again, they have a knack of finding the best out of players and may yet remain strong in the coming season.
