Real Madrid expiring contracts: Who is free to leave this summer and next?

sportsmole.co.uk, 1 June 2024, 22:13
Real Madrid concluded their 2023-24 campaign in style on Saturday evening by winning the Champions League final.

Los Blancos beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium to make it a La Liga and European Cup double this term, and the club will now be looking ahead to the 2024-25 season.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Real Madrid players whose contracts either expire at the end of June, or in the summer of 2025.

Which Real Madrid players are out of contract this summer?

Luka Modric

Age: 38

Position: Central midfielder

Transfer value: £6.8m

Joined: August 27, 2012

Joining fee: £30m

Real Madrid appearances: 534

Real Madrid goals: 39

Honours

Prva HNL (3): 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08

Croatian Cup (2): 2006-07, 2007-08

Croatian Super Cup (1): 2006

La Liga (4): 2016-17, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (2): 2013-14, 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (5): 2012, 2017, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Champions League (6): 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (4): 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022

FIFA Club World Cup (5): 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022

Modric came on in the latter stages of the 2023-24 Champions League final for perhaps his last appearance for the club, although a new contract has not been ruled out.

The Croatian has proven that he is still capable of operating at the highest level, and it will be fascinating to see whether Toni Kroos's retirement plays a role in Real Madrid's decision regarding a new deal for Modric.

Lucas Vazquez

Age: 32

Position: Right-back

Transfer value: £4.3m

Joined: June 30, 2015

Joining fee: Undisclosed

Real Madrid appearances: 349

Real Madrid goals: 6

Honours

La Liga (4): 2016-17, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (1): 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (2): 2017, 2021-22

Champions League (5): 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (3): 2016, 2017, 2022

FIFA Club World Cup (3): 2016, 2017, 2018

Vazquez was also given the latter stages of the 2023-24 Champions League final, but he is out of contract at the end of the month and could depart.

The Spaniard has once again proven his worth as a back-up right-back this season, though, and it would be a surprise to see Real Madrid let him leave for nothing this summer.

Nacho

Age: 34

Position: Centre-back

Transfer value: £3.4m

Joined: Academy graduate

Joining fee: N/A

Real Madrid appearances: 364

Real Madrid goals: 16

Honours

La Liga (4): 2016-17, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (2): 2013-14, 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (5): 2012, 2017, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Champions League (6): 2013-14 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (3): 2016, 2017, 2022

FIFA Club World Cup (5): 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022

Nacho put in another solid performance in the Champions League final, but he is widely expected to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.

A switch to the MLS looks to be on the cards for the 34-year-old, who is thought to be looking for a new challenge at this stage of his career.

Which Real Madrid players are out of contract next summer?

Ferland Mendy

Age: 28

Position: Left-back

Transfer value: £17m

Joined: July 1, 2019

Joining fee: £47m

Real Madrid appearances: 170

Real Madrid goals: 6

Honours

La Liga (3): 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (1): 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (3): 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Champions League (2): 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (1): 2022

There has been ongoing speculation surrounding Mendy's future at Real Madrid, but he is undoubtedly the team's first-choice left-back when fit and available for selection.

The Frenchman has enjoyed a strong 2023-24 campaign for Los Blancos, and it would not be a surprise to see him offered a new deal despite the club's alleged pursuit of Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies.

Andriy Lunin

Age: 25

Position: Goalkeeper

Transfer value: £13.6m

Joined: June 23, 2018

Joining fee: Undisclosed

Real Madrid appearances: 48

Real Madrid goals: 0

Honours

La Liga (2): 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (1): 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (2): 2021-22, 2023-24

Champions League (2): 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (1): 2022

FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2022

Lunin missed out on an appearance for Real Madrid in the Champions League final due to Thibaut Courtois's return to fitness, but he has shown his quality during the 2023-24 campaign.

The Ukraine international is likely to be offered a new deal, but having had a taste of first-team action this season, he might decide to move on to be a number one elsewhere.

Dani Carvajal

Age: 32

Position: Right-back

Transfer value: £10.2m

Joined: July 1, 2013

Joining fee: £5.5m

Real Madrid appearances: 416

Real Madrid goals: 13

Honours

La Liga (4): 2016-17, 2019-20 2021-22, 2023-24

Copa del Rey (2): 2013-14, 2022-23

Spanish Super Cup (4): 2017, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

Champions League (6): 2013-14, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2021-22, 2023-24

UEFA Super Cup (4): 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022

FIFA Club World Cup (5): 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022

Carvajal got his name on the scoresheet in the 2023-24 Champions League final, putting in a man-of-the-match performance at Wembley Stadium.

The 32-year-old is out of contract in the summer of 2025, but he could be offered a new deal off the back of what has been one of his best seasons for the club in terms of personal performance.
