Real Madrid are reportedly preparing for a significant midfield departure this summer, with Spanish outlet Marca naming Aurélien Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde as the two leading candidates to leave the Bernabéu as the club looks to raise funds for incoming transfers.

Marca says internal discussions at the club have focused on trimming midfield numbers, and both Tchouaméni and Valverde have emerged as the most probable options.

Sources indicate the final decision will balance sporting needs, market interest and financial targets.

Reaction from fans on social media has shown strong resistance to the idea of selling Fede Valverde.

Supporters point to his versatility—able to play box-to-box, on the right, and in more advanced roles along with his perceived loyalty and consistent performances for the club.

Many fans argue Valverde should be kept as a squad cornerstone.

Real Madrid’s sporting directors and coaching staff are expected to assess offers and club priorities over the coming weeks before making any firm decision.
