Real Madrid considers midfield sales to fund new signings this summer
Summary

Real Madrid is assessing potential midfield departures as part of their summer rebuild. While the focus has been on new arrivals, the club is open to selling players to finance a box-to-box midfielder that coach Jose Mourinho desires. Dani Ceballos has already had his contract terminated, and Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni are reportedly the main candidates for sale. Camavinga's inconsistent campaign raises questions about his future, while Tchouameni has remained a stronger option despite some lingering squad dynamics. Discussions around balancing the wage bill and squad structure continue as the transfer window progresses.
