The 2 sales that Real Madrid expects to close at the end of this transfer window

The Real Madrid transfer market is not over yet and still holds the possibility of Eduardo Camavinga, a 23-year-old midfielder, and Raúl Asencio, a 23-year-old defender, leaving during the final stretch of the market. Both are deemed transferable, and a sale before September 1st could lead to a last-minute signing for the midfield or defense.

The challenge lies in the players' willingness. Both Camavinga and Asencio have expressed a preference to stay at the club during the summer, and José Mourinho has no plans to sideline them as long as they remain in the squad.

Real Madrid would accept Camavinga's departure

Eduardo Camavinga has been a highlighted name throughout the market. Real Madrid believes that his sale could provide the necessary funds to pursue another midfielder after failing to secure the signing of Rodri Hernández.

Internally, the Frenchman is valued at around 70 million euros. Camavinga only played 43% of the available minutes last season and has lost significance in a midfield where Mourinho also counts on Tchouaméni, Fede Valverde, Bernardo Silva, Arda Güler, and Jude Bellingham.

Nevertheless, Mourinho is utilizing the player. Camavinga featured against Espanyol in Real Madrid's LaLiga opener, a move that diminishes the interpretation of his sporting situation as an immediate invitation to leave the club. Juventus sees him as an option.

The player has not expressed a desire to depart either. This scenario could change only if an economic proposal emerges from the Premier League in the final days, where several clubs are still looking to strengthen their midfield.

Raúl Asencio also has an open exit door

The situation of Raúl Asencio responds to another need of Real Madrid. Mourinho aims to work with a smaller squad, and the defender was among the expendable players before sustaining a muscle injury in his right quadriceps.

The estimated recovery time was approximately six weeks, complicating a sale during August. Asencio has not been able to leverage the recent matches to alter his standing within the defensive hierarchy.

Mourinho currently has Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, and Antonio Rüdiger, among other resources for the position. Departing the academy player would enable the club to explore signing another defender if an opportunity arises in the final days.

The coach’s preferred target for that position has been Alessandro Bastoni, but a transfer of that magnitude would first necessitate freeing up a spot and generating revenue. Asencio's continuation currently limits that possibility.

The precedence of other contracted players also favors the retention of both. Players like Gareth Bale, Isco, Marcelo, Mariano Díaz, or Jesús Vallejo remained in Madrid despite having limited roles.

Real Madrid enters the final week without the need to sell but remains prepared to react. If Eduardo Camavinga or Raúl Asencio change their stance with an offer before September 1st, the club will consider using that departure to revive the signing of a midfielder or a defender.
