Florentino Pérez prepares major changes in Real Madrid after a most disappointing season. They will not only occur on the bench, where a coaching change is assured, but also in the squad. There will be signings, but above all, numerous departures, with the intention of giving the team a makeover. Competitiveness must increase if they want to continue competing for all titles.
Florentino decides it: He will leave Real Madrid
Relevo has reported that one of the certain departures that will occur this coming summer is that of Jesús Vallejo. At 28 years old, he will end his contract with Madrid on June 30, and the intention is not to renew it. He will have a free path to leave after practically a lifetime at the club, having sparked interest from some clubs in La Liga and, surprisingly, the rest of Europe.
Vallejo arrived at Real Madrid in 2015 from Zaragoza, having cost €5 million. After several loans, in total, the Aragonese has completed 10 years at the white club. A surprising fact considering the number of matches he has played in this time span: only 32.
Jesús Vallejo generated anger in Real Madrid
It all goes back to last January 5, during the pre-match of the Copa del Rey game against Deportiva Minera. The plan was clear: he was going to be a starter, but, surprisingly, he ended up not playing.
Jesús Vallejo wanted to speak with Ancelotti before the match against Deportiva Minera, informing him that he was not at one hundred percent and that it was okay if he didn't play there. However, despite this statement from the defender, the medical services of Real Madrid could not corroborate the physical discomfort he claimed. Finally, he was not even included in the squad list, with the same happening for the subsequent Spanish Super Cup.
Jesús Vallejo was offered the opportunity to leave for free in January, having offers on the table. But he didn't want to do it, preferring to stay in Real Madrid. His lack of professionalism and desire to play is not understood. Florentino Pérez has been angry with him for a long time and has already confirmed to him that his contract will not be renewed: he will leave in the summer.
