Sports Mole

Real Madrid concluded their 2023-24 campaign by winning the Champions League final, which capped another excellent season for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Los Blancos beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium to make it a La Liga and European Cup double last term, and the club will now be targeting more success during the current season.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Real Madrid players whose contracts either expire next season or in the summer of 2026.


Which Real Madrid players are out of contract next summer?

Lucas Vazquez

Age: 33
Position: Right-back
Transfer value: £3.3m
Joined: Academy product
Joining fee: N/A
Real Madrid appearances: 365
Real Madrid goals: 38

  • Spanish Super Cup (2): 2017, 2022

  • UEFA Champions League (5): 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2021-22, 2023-24

  • UEFA Super Cup (4): 2016, 2017, 2022, 2024

  • FIFA Club World Cup (3): 2016, 2017, 2018

  • Vazquez's contract with Real Madrid expired over the summer, but he then penned a one-year deal at Bernabeu to keep him at the club until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.


    Ferland Mendy

    Age: 28
    Position: Left-back
    Transfer value: £17m
    Joined: July 1, 2019
    Joining fee: £47m
    Real Madrid appearances: 185

  • There has been ongoing speculation surrounding Mendy's future at Real Madrid, but he is undoubtedly the team's first-choice left-back when fit and available for selection.

    The Frenchman enjoyed a strong 2023-24 campaign for Los Blancos, and it would not be a surprise to see him offered a new deal despite the club's alleged pursuit of Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies.


    Jesus Vallejo

    Age: 27

    Transfer value: £850,000
    Joined: July 15, 2015

  • FIFA Club World Cup (2): 2018, 2022

  • Vallejo is back at Real Madrid after spending the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Granada, but he is not believed to be in the plans of Los Blancos moving forward and could leave next summer.


    Luka Modric

    Age: 38
    Position: Central midfielder
    Transfer value: £5.2m
    Joined: August 27, 2012

    Joined: July 1, 2013
    Joining fee: £5.5m
    Real Madrid appearances: 427
    Real Madrid goals: 14

    Honours at Real Madrid

  • La Liga (4): 2016-17, 2019-20 2021-22, 2023-24

  • Copa del Rey (2): 2013-14, 2022-23

  • Spanish Super Cup (4): 2017, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2023-24

  • Carvajal got his name on the scoresheet in the 2023-24 Champions League final, putting in a man-of-the-match performance at Wembley Stadium.

    The 32-year-old is out for the entire 2024-25 season due to a serious knee injury, but he has recently had his contract extended until the summer of 2026.


    Thibaut Courtois

    Age: 32
    Position: Goalkeeper
    Transfer value: £23.7m
    Joined: August 8, 2018

  • Spanish Super Cup (2): 2019-20, 2021-22

  • UEFA Champions League (2): 2021-22, 2023-24

  • UEFA Super Cup (2): 2022, 2024

  • FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2022
  • Courtois missed the majority of last season with a serious knee injury, but the Belgian did return towards the end of the campaign and featured in the Champions League final.

    The 32-year-old remains one of the best goalkeepers in world football, and it would not be a surprise to see him soon pen a new contact with the capital giants.


    Antonio Rudiger

    Age: 31
    Position: Centre-back
    Transfer value: £21.2m
    Joined: June 2, 2022

  • UEFA Champions League (1): 2023-24

  • Rudiger was a vital player for Real Madrid during the 2023-24 campaign, making 48 appearances in all competitions, and he has been an excellent performer for the club over the last two seasons.

    As a result, it would not be a surprise to see the centre-back soon handed fresh terms at Bernabeu.

    Position: Centre-back
    Transfer value: £16.9m
    Joined: May 28, 2021

  • UEFA Super Cup (1): 2022

  • FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2022
  • Alaba missed the second half of last season with a serious knee injury, and he is not expected to be back on the field until later this year due to the seriousness of the damage.

    There has been speculation surrounding the Austria international's long-term future at Bernabeu, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the defender.
