| Real Madrid's players for sale |
Real Madrid needs to sell to lighten its staff, 27 players now, and finance the investment in reinforcements. There are seven players who could leave, five of them for cash. By order of valuation, highest to lowest; Kaka (40 million), Lass (20 million), Gago (12 million), Garay (10 million) and Pedro Leon (8 million). Then there are the issues of Canales and Mateos, who would leave loaned.
The white club has priced to high, of course, and aims to reach a figure to be around 90 million euros, well above last year figure (21.5 million) that Real Madrid earned for the transfer of Rodrigo (6), Marcos Alonso (2.5), Van der Vaart (10), and Soldado (3, Valencia enforced a purchase option). The rest were temporally loaned or their contract ended.
As it is the market and not forgetting the salary of its players, always among the highest, the business will not be easy. The clubs concerned, except a few cases like that of Manchester City, do not want to take over such high salaries. Not even Abramovich's Chelsea, which now looks very closely the salaries of the players.
