The 13-time Champions League winners Real Madrid are set for a busy summer of incomings and outgoings. The goal is to form a team to compete in all competitions seriously.
Five current players considered to be deadwood, including former Chelsea star Eden Hazard, are said to be willing to leave the club. This would free up funds to help a number of new stars relocate.
One of them is Kylian Mbappe, who is widely expected to join Real Madrid after his contract with PSG expires.
Carlo Ancelotti's starting lineup would immediately include him on the left wing, forcing Vinicius Jr to the right.
Real Madrid are also interested in a sensational summer transfer for Erling Haaland. Despite scoring a hat-trick in the Champions League last-16, Karim Benzema would be relegated to the bench.
Dayot Upamecano of Bayern Munchen has also been linked with a move to Los Blancos. With his arrival, David Alaba would be moved to left-back, where he would partner Eder Militao.
Thibaut Courtois will start in goal again next season, with veteran Dani Carvajal in the right back position. However, with Luka Modric, 36, nearing the end of his career, there could be changes in midfield.
Eduardo Camavinga, who is slightly younger than Toni Kroos and Casemiro, is waiting to replace the Croatian.
In the absence of Upamecano, Antonio Rudiger could line up alongside Militao at the back.
Rudiger's Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season, and he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
In other news, Madrid could lose Haaland to Manchester City, allowing Benzema to keep his starting spot.
Ferland Mendy is also highly regarded and could start at left back, with Alaba shifting to defensive midfield.
