Real Madrid 'preparing to sell seven players this summer'

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to sell seven players during this summer's transfer window, as the Spanish outfit attempt to raise funds to sign Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe.

Los Blancos continue to be strongly linked with Mbappe, but the club will have to free up funds to stand a chance of acquiring the Frenchman due to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

According to Marca, Brahim Diaz, Dani Ceballos, Jesus Vallejo, Luka Jovic, Takefusa Kubo, Borja Mayoral and Gareth Bale, who are all currently out on loan, will be available on permanent deals.

The report, though, claims that Martin Odegaard is expected to be a part of Real Madrid's first-team plans next season, particularly with head coach Zinedine Zidane likely to move on.

Ceballos is currently on loan at Arsenal with Odegaard, but the former is not thought to be a part of his parent club's long-term plans and could therefore depart.

Real Madrid also continue to be linked with Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland, although a deal for Mbappe is thought to be the club's priority in the upcoming market.
