In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid have reportedly informed one of their midfielders that he will not be allowed to leave the club this summer, despite strong interest from rival La Liga clubs and initial talks suggesting an exit was likely.
The player, who has struggled for consistent game time under Carlo Ancelotti, was believed to be open to a move in search of more minutes. However, Madrid have now made it clear: he is staying.
Sources close to the club confirm that the board and coaching staff believe he still has an important role to play in the squad as they prepare for a demanding 2025/26 campaign.
This decision could shake up the midfield dynamics at the Bernabéu, especially with new signings and young stars pushing for starting roles. Fans are now left wondering what the long-term plan really is.
