Real Madrid certain about their first summer departure – report | OneFootball

Jesus Vallejo is expected to be the first player to leave Real Madrid during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to recent reports from Fichajes.

It must be noted that the central defender has found himself sidelined under Carlo Ancelotti, occupying a minor role within the squad. The club’s decision to part ways with him appears to have been made long ago.

Despite Real Madrid facing several defensive challenges this season, including injuries to Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba that forced Ancelotti to make tactical adjustments, Vallejo has not been called upon even in critical situations.

His limited involvement is evident in the mere handful of minutes he played, with a brief appearance against Deportivo Alaves being his only notable contribution during the campaign.

Real Madrid are keen on reshaping its defence by bringing in new signings and making room in the squad.

Vallejo’s departure aligns with these objectives as he has had only a symbolic presence at the club in recent years. The decision to let him go underscores the club’s focus on strengthening key areas for the future.

The defender’s next destination remains unclear. However, it is likely that he will seek a club where he can secure regular playing time and rebuild his career.

With his contract nearing its end and no role in Ancelotti’s plans, Vallejo’s time at the Santiago Bernabeu is set to conclude when the transfer window officially opens.

While his tenure at Real Madrid may not have lived up to expectations, a fresh start could offer him the opportunity to reignite his career and showcase his abilities on the field.
