Real Madrid outcast ready to leave after receiving many offers – report
This has proven to be a busy transfer window for Jude Bellingham. The club have witnessed an exodus of sorts, with Karim Benzema, Mariano Diaz and Marco Asensio ending their contracts while Eden Hazard’s contract was terminated.
Despite the changes, Real Madrid’s squad remain largely unresolved, with many still facing an uncertain future at the club. One of them is Alvaro Odriozola.
The former Fiorentina starlet has faced a difficult time at the Bernabeu, failing to gain prominence in the senior side. His situation won’t get better in the coming season, despite Real Madrid’s apparent lack of options in the fullback department.
With that in mind, Odriozola is now considering a move away from Bernabeu, reports COPE. The right-back initially did not want to leave the club, but he is now open to a departure, after receiving ‘many offers’.
A product of the Real Sociedad youth academy, Odriozola has a strong market despite his recent struggles at Real Madrid, with his former club being one of his admirers. The likes of Juventus and Athletic Club are also tracking the situation of the right-back this summer.
Real Madrid are unlikely to oppose Odriozola’s sale, as the player has clearly fallen out of favour. The club do have a shortage of right-backs, but everything suggests they will continue counting on the services of Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal, at least for next season.
Los Blancos have been linked with some right-backs such as Reece James and Achraf Hakimi this summer, but it is unlikely that the club would spend a fortune on either, especially at a time when they must preserve cash to sign Kylian Mbappe, either this year or the next.
As for Odriozola, the Spaniard is set to be on his way out and with no shortage of offers, it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Carlos Espi reacts after scoring match-winning goal in Elche 2-3 Real Madrid: ‘Starting like this is a dream’
Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.
The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche.
It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.
“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great.
“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up.

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.
Espi keeps making his minutes count
There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.
His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result.
Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.
Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.
The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.
That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.
“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”
First Madrid derby already has Espi excited
The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.
“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”
For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
