Ramón Álvarez de Mon has shared a video on his YouTube channel analyzing the future of the Real Madrid squad ahead of the summer transfer window. He began by addressing the goalkeeping situation: “For next season, Courtois is obviously a guaranteed starter in goal. And with Lunin, Real Madrid will be waiting to see what the Ukrainian decides. If he asks to leave and receives an offer, the club won't flatly refuse, but they're not exactly looking to sell him either,” the commentator explains.

The discussion then moved to the defensive line and the situation of Dani Carvajal. “It's highly likely that Dani Carvajal won't be staying. I don't think his continued presence is 100% ruled out, but it's not easy for him to accept being a substitute. At the moment, Arbeloa doesn't think he's in the right physical condition or at the right level to start in the big games,” Álvarez de Mon stated.

He also provided updates on several other defenders, confirming that “Alaba will leave, Huijsen and Militao are staying, and Rüdiger has a good chance of renewing until 2027.” He then addressed Raúl Asencio, noting that he is a player the club would be open to selling. “He recently renewed his contract until 2031, so if the Canary Islander doesn't want to leave, he won't. But the club doesn't consider him indispensable; and since there's a need to generate profit, he'd be on the transfer list because he came up through the youth system. But the player's wishes are very important.”

Finally, he spoke about the left-back positions, explaining that “Mendy will stay because he's a player impossible to offload; nobody wants to take a chance on him. Carreras will stay, and Fran García is another one who's on the market if a good offer comes in. He's also entering the final year of his contract; if a good offer comes in and he's happy with it, he'll leave. That said, the club isn't going to let him go for free, especially since he doesn't have a high salary,” Álvarez de Mon concluded.
