Player Valuation: £80m
I've got a home page article up soon that covers this a bit. Clubs like Monaco have massively "bent the stick" as I would call it on their business in the good times. They've acquired loads of players, on reasonable money essentially on the premise the players values go up year on year and they gain more value as they get more exposure. For clubs like Monaco, you feel this downturn could really catch them out. I mean that looks a hideous position to be in. I am sure there will be all sorts of potential players available for us to try and sign, particularly younger players (or maybe Keita Balde who we looked at before). A lot will fit our profile of young players, fallen away a bit but lots of potential.
Whats interesting is the 2 in this league who fit that profile are Chelsea and Liverpool. Both have gambled a lot on young players, and could get really caught out moving forward. Sides in the lower leagues will just not be able to fund their wages for the loans.

inedine Zidane will not only have to trim down his Real Madrid squad by 12 in the summer, with Los Blancos set to have 37 first-team players, but there will have to also be decisions made about the club's non-EU players.
In the 25-man squad, Real Madrid will only be allowed three non-EU players, however they will have to decide who occupies these spots out of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Eder Militao, Reinier Jesus, Take Kubo and, from 2021, Gareth Bale.
The reason for Bale's non-EU status coming into effect from 2021 is due to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union as part of Brexit.
This season, Real Madrid have had Vinicius, Rodrygo and Militao as their three non-EU players, with Reinier having joined Castilla and Kubo having gone on a season-long loan to Real Mallorca.
During pre-season this summer, though, the five of them will have to fight to be included in Zidane's final squad, while Bale will add to this headache from January 1, 2021.
From Real Madrid's perspective, they hope that they will be able to find a buyer for Bale, not only because he is not in Zidane's plans but also because of this non-EU issue.
As MARCA said at the time, what is envisaged is that there will be a transitional period until December 31, 2020, with players able to keep their current status in Spain, but the ruling by FIFA and UEFA regarding non-EU players will still apply to the Welshman.
Yet, given the coronavirus crisis that has taken over Europe, it doesn't seem likely that an agreement that usually takes years to reach will now be achieved in record time.
So, if Real Madrid are unable to sell Bale (he has no intention of leaving), there will be a big problem.
Militao, thanks in part due to his position, is guaranteed to be included as a non-EU player, so the other two spots would likely be filled by Vinicius and Rodrygo, the three players who did so this year.
The first of the foreign players to obtain a Spanish passport will be Vinicius, but, as MARCA have been assured by sources, he will have to wait until the summer of 2021.
With the current situation regarding the coronavirus outbreak, it doesn't seem likely that there will be an acceleration of this process.
As such, if Bale ends up staying and is named in the first-team squad, the three players who would seem to be affected most by this are Rodrygo, Reinier and Kubo.
In Rodrygo's case, despite his young age and the fact he has many years ahead of him at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, it is striking that he could be loaned out after he cost 50 million euros and was Real Madrid's second-top goalscorer in the first half of the season.
Reinier's situation is also striking, with the midfielder having cost Los Blancos 30 million euros. Although, having said that, a loan move may not be the worst thing for the 18-year-old as the coronavirus crisis has truncated his adaptation to Europe.
The one for whom it seems almost impossible to play at Real Madrid next season is Kubo.
The Japanese playmaker is unable to apply for dual nationality and, therefore, his best option is to go on another loan spell and perform at a level like Martin Odegaard has at Real Sociedad before coming back to the Bernabeu.
An issue that works against Kubo is that he arrived for free, so there is not the pressure with him that there is with the likes of Rodrygo and Reinier.
As soon as he begins to display his potential on a regular basis, Kubo will benefit Real Madrid with his sale.

To remind everyone...
Keane
Sigurdsson
Bernard
Delph
Coleman
Tosun
Contract all expire in 2022
To remind everyone, its still only 2020.
Its absolutely sickening how these big clubs bulk buy players and young talent, FFP my backside, I would love it all to collapse, like a pack of cards.
orly
Please check with me for Blammo criteria
We'd better extend Bernard's contract immediately

What do you think will happen? Doesnt seem like there will be any Non-EU players signing does it?
Wonder if there may be any surprises there...

Kubo and Reinier won't be in the first team next season. So once they sell Bale all is good on that front.

The club will need to sell or extend the contracts or they stand to go into their final year next year...
I think we'll see some sales there.

How about Goes (Rodrygo), Militao Vinicius so wouldnt be signing any more...

there’s loads of players in the Real Madrid squad id like to see here. Hopefully Carlo still has some sway over their non first team players who may fancy regular football.

Which ones would you think we have a somewhat realistic chance with?
TheBigIguana

I know. But that article was about sales not signings.
My guess is Bale will be told leave or be left out of the squad come 2021. That will sort that and they'll be good to go.
