Real Madrid faces a double crisis that must be resolved before the end of the next transfer season, which is the return of 11 players from secondment who will raise the number of players to 37 players, with the urgent need to sell most of them to cover the losses of the Corona pandemic, which amounted to 200 million euros.
The newspaper "Marca" said that Real Madrid will seek compensation for its losses by selling some marginal players, one of whom will be the Colombian player, James Rodriguez, who has only one year left on his contract, and an expected value of 25 million euros.
She added that the riyal already has offers for Rodriguez from Benfica, Inter, Milan and Manchester United who have the best chance of settling the deal, but the problem is in his annual salary of 8 million euros per season, an amount that has become significant given the current crisis resulting from the Corona pandemic.
The newspaper, which is close to the Spanish football champions, confirmed that the second priority in selling should be the Welsh player Gareth Bale, who does not intend to reduce his huge annual salary of 17 million euros, in light of his willingness to sit in the stands until his contract expires in 2022.
She pointed out that the riyal is ready to reduce the price of Bell to get rid of it, but the crisis lies in his large salary that no club will accept to pay.
Two other players on the priority sale list are Mariano Diaz and Luca Jovic, in addition to 3 other players who may open the way for them to leave the property as well: Luca Modric, Nacho Fernandez and Lucas Vasquez.
Marca said that Real Madrid will also open the door to receive offers to sell players who will return from loan, such as Danny Sibaios, Alvaro Odriozola, Oscar Rodriguez, Jesيسs Vallejo, Borja Mayoral, Alberto Soro, and Jorge de Frutos.
