Both are defenders and are no longer in the plans for the 2026-2027 season: Dani Carvajal (33 years old) and David Alaba (34 years old). The captain was only used as a starter in eight of the 19 games played this season, being moved to the bench with the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Austrian international, very often and much affected by injuries, caught only 398 minutes.
However, Antonio Rudiger will not have the same fate, who will be offered an extension of his contract, the German being at 33 years old still important in the center of the defense.
Nico Paz will be bought from Como for 9 million euros, and Endrick will return for free in the summer from Lyon

The Argentinian winger is having an incredible season in Como, scoring 11 goals and providing 7 assists, and his market share has skyrocketed exponentially to €65 million, according to Transfermarkt. But los blancos can buy him back for only 9 million, thanks to a clause in the agreement with the Italian club, who took him in 2024 for 6 million.
The second return concerns Endrick. The Brazilian forward couldn't find his place even with Alvaro Arbeloa, so he was loaned to Lyon until the end of the season. To the French team (he has no option to transfer him definitively in the summer), the 19-year-old has scored six times and provided six assists in 16 games.
