Even though they already have a tiny roster, there are a number of high-paid players who play minor roles at the club and are poised to leave this summer, as a number of players have reached the end of their contracts.

Marcelo, the Real Madrid captain, has said his farewell to the club after it was announced that he will be leaving at the end of his contract this summer.
The experienced Brazilian has spent 16 years at the club, and while he is expected to return to Brazil, no future plans have been announced.
Marcelo has been second in the pecking order for the left-back position this season, behind Ferland Mendy, but has remained an inspirational figure on the bench.

At Real Madrid, Eden Hazard has had a number of injuries.
Eden Hazard has been plagued by fitness concerns and physical setbacks since joining Real Madrid in a club-record transfer three years ago from Chelsea.
Hazard joined Madrid for a cost that might reach £130 million if all add-ons are factored in — a record fee for the Spanish giants – but he has failed to live up to the hype. Since moving to Madrid, he has suffered setback after setback, starting only 28 of the 114 La Liga matches he has been assigned to.
The Belgian has only found the back of the net six times for the club.
Isco Isco has largely been a bench player for Real Madrid this season.

Another player who once shone for club and country but has seen his stock plummet in recent seasons.
He only started three La Liga games this season after appearing in eight the previous season, and he did not play in Europe at all. Isco's contract was not renewed because he was 30 years old and a pretty high earning, and he is now a free agent.
He has been linked with a move to the Premier League, but Real Betis, where he would be reunited with his former Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini, is the most likely destination.
Diaz, Mariano
Mariano Diaz has spent the last three seasons with Los Blancos as an unused substitute.

Ceballos, Dani

After returning from a two-year loan at Arsenal, Dani Ceballos seemed unlikely to participate for Ancelotti's side, with Madrid's normal midfield trio of Luka Modric, Casemiro, and Toni Kroos supplemented by Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.A return to Real Betis has been suggested – the player is said to have expressed interest in doing so several times in the last year.
