Vazquez and Modric are set to leave after the tournament in the United States. In Modric’s case this was made official before the last game of the La Liga season but Vazquez also received an emotional send-off at the Bernabeu. Both want to continue competing at the highest level.

The names of three players former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti wanted the Los Blancos to sign during his time at the club have been revealed.

Stiller aligns well with Real Madrid’s new project: a young yet proven talent who would have participated in the Nations League Final Four if not for an injury sustained during the Cup final. He comes at an affordable price and is favored by Xabi Alonso, who is familiar with him from their time in the Bundesliga.
