Confirmed: Real Madrid's 3 non-EU players for the 25/26 season

Getting everything ready for next season, Real Madrid keeps making the necessary signings. After securing the transfer of Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid was finally able to announce the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold as well. A top-level reinforcement for the right flank that, unfortunately, has brought a problem to Real Madrid.

Looking ahead to the next campaign, Real Madrid already has its three non-EU player spots filled. Besides Trent Alexander-Arnold, the other two non-EU players are Jude Bellingham, who is English, and Endrick, who is Brazilian. This presents a clear inconvenience for Real Madrid, especially when it comes to competing in LaLiga.

LaLiga's regulations clearly state that all participating clubs have a limit of 3 non-EU players per squad. Given the signings Real Madrid is still looking to make this summer, this situation must be solved as soon as possible.

Real Madrid's inconvenience

Building an increasingly solid squad for the next campaign, Real Madrid is making the relevant signings. Strengthening, above all, the backline after the problems they had to go through, Real Madrid has overlooked a key issue. The non-EU player limit could leave Real Madrid without a signing or a player.

With several talented players still on their radar for transfers, some of them would have to take up a non-EU spot. Because of this, Real Madrid will have to find a way to solve this situation as soon as possible.

With the season still far from starting, Real Madrid has plenty of time to find a solution. The best option is for the aforementioned players to obtain the nationality of other countries, although the process is very lengthy.

Real Madrid's situation for next season

Even though this seems like a rather complicated problem for Real Madrid, the reality is that the club trusts they'll solve this quickly. Having gone through more critical situations in the past, the team will solve this before the start of the season. For now, all that's left is to wait for the next signings Real Madrid makes.
