The President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, is reportedly set to offload some of the players at the club following the lack of discipline experienced at the club.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Pérez feels standards behind the scenes have dropped, particularly in terms of discipline, unity, and professionalism within the dressing room. Real Madrid have continued competing at the highest level, but there is reportedly a feeling among senior figures that certain issues have been allowed to linger for too long.
There are also reports that the first-team players are now believed to be under scrutiny ahead of the summer transfer window, with Pérez open to making difficult decisions if it means restoring stability and focus at the club. The potential clear-out would not only be about performances on the pitch, but also about rebuilding a stronger collective mentality within the squad.
Pérez has historically been decisive during moments of instability, and indications are that he may once again take firm action to protect the long-term direction of the club.
The 2026 summer will be very busy for the board at Real Madrid as they look to bring in a permanent coach and some key players as they look to challenge for the league, Spanish Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
