Marco, Karim, Marian and Eden out.
Over all this is good news, although I would have liked to see Asensio stay (he's a superb bench player... plus it's a shame he goes for free when's he's easily worth a significant amount of money). Oh well, thanks for everything.
I wouldn't have minded if Benzema delayed his departure until 2024, but imo he has the right to call it quits whenever he wants; he has done a lot for the club. Regardless, he was clearly on decline, and it was obvious that next season would be his last season at most. Still, he will be hard to replace, there aren't many world class strikers out there atm. Wish him the best wherever he goes.
As for Mariano, good riddance... although in his defense, he has always been a professional, trained well and tried to perform whenever he got to play... but he has just happily enjoyed making money without any playtime, showing very little ambition. It's a shame, but tbh this is the club's fault for giving him such a long contract.
And Hazard... god riddance x 1000. Easily the worst signing in all of Real Madrid's history. While I always considered him overrated at Chelsea and said it was absurd to pay anything over 60M€ for him (considering his contract would expire in 12 months), I never expected him to be such an awful signing. Not only did he feel like a retired player from day one, he hasn't showed any attitude whatsoever, walking around the pitch whenever he was given the chance to show he wants to earn more playtime. Much like Bale before him, he would struggle with injuries, but then miraculously recover for the international games. At least the welshman gave us trophies before he started acting like this... Hazard has just been shit since his first game.
hazard is one the worst signings ever in football, not only for madrid imo
for chelsea he played almost all games and then he collapsed into nothing
at least you will get harry kane now, that makes too much sense
