• Several Real Madrid players could be shown the door in the summer transfer market
• According to reports in Spain, as many as seven players could be offloaded by Los Blancos
• The contracts of Marco Asensio and Mariano Diaz are among those ending this season

European clubs have all been put on alert amid reports that Real Madrid are planning an extensive summer clear-out, as they aim to refresh their squad ahead of next season.

Up to seven players could be sold, with the likes of Luka Modric, Eden Hazard, and Marco Asensio reportedly on the chopping block.

Manager, Carlo Ancelotti is reported to be leaving the club at the end of the season, with Raul Gonzalez, Thomas Tuchel, and Zinedine Zidane linked with the coaching role.

Whoever ends up taking to the helm may have a rebuilding job on their hands.

Sportskeeda, citing Spanish outlet, Fichajes, suggested that Belgian winger, Hazard could be one of the first to leave.

The 31-year-old's contract runs until 2024, but Los Blancos is apparently keen to end the partnership at the end of this season.

The former Chelsea playmaker has failed to replicate the form that saw him become the best player at Stamford Bridge for several seasons.

The likes of Asensio and Diaz appear not to have a future at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with their contracts coming expiring at the end of the current campaign.

The other stars who could leave Real Madrid this summer are Modric, Jesús Vallejo, Andriy Lunin, and Álvaro Odriozola.

The forward has become a key player under the Italian manager but is rumoured to be on his way out of the club, possibly to Spanish rivals, Barcelona.

According to Football Espana, Ancelotti admitted he didn’t care if Asensio renewed his contract with Real Madrid or decided to leave in the summer.

Fans mock Hazard with sandwich

Football is certainly a funny game where anything and everything possible can happen, Sports Brief previously reported.

While projectiles being lobbed onto the pitch has stopped games before, it does not compare to an incident in a Real Madrid game.

In a tie with Osasuna, a sandwich was tossed onto the pitch by fans mocking Hazard, saying it was thrown so he could run after it.
