While the La Liga champions have no immediate plans to bring in new faces, they are willing to part with two new players. Madrid Universal reported that Real is still trying to sell Álvaro Odriozola and Mariano Díaz.

While not the biggest names at the team, both have been a part of the Spanish giants' setup for a while.

Odriozola, a defender, and Díaz, a striker, have fallen out of favour at the club and have been listed for sale in the current summer transfer window. With the transfer window closing in just over a week’s time, Madrid are confident of selling Odriozola before then but less so of finding a buyer for Díaz.

Offers have come in for the striker, but with a year left on his contract, he’s reluctant to leave the La Liga champions.

As noted by Transfermarkt, Odriozola has made 43 appearances for Madrid, scoring three goals and notching up 10 assists.

Díaz, on the other hand, played 73 games for Los Blancos since he joined the side. However, he only featured nine times for the La Liga champions during the course of last season.

Astonishing reasons why Casemiro wants to quit Real Madrid for Man United drop

Real Madrid midfielder Carlos Casemiro is losing sleep about Manchester United's interest in signing him.

The Red Devils have set apart a midfielder as a priority signing following their abysmal start to the English Premier League season.

Erik Ten Hag has identified Casemiro as a transfer target after hitting an obstacle in their deal to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona.
