Real Madrid's defeat against PSG in the Club World Cup was a very hard blow for the club. Until now, they had viewed what had happened in the previous rounds positively, giving a good impression. However, the 4-0 score showed that there's still a lot of work to do this summer (verano).

That's going to lead Florentino Pérez to make a decision in the coming weeks. According to information revealed by Marca, Madrid's board has decided to take a step forward. They're planning to meet with several players to discuss topics such as their future.

Although the squad planning seemed to be finished, the Club World Cup could lead to important decisions. In fact, the message they want to send to the players is related to what has happened. "Either you work as a single team or you look for solutions" is what they're going to tell them.

They believe that the biggest problem Real Madrid is facing comes from collective commitment. They would be willing to make important decisions if the situation doesn't improve. That could mean a painful sale could take place throughout this summer (verano).

Two names under the spotlight and with their future hanging in the air

It's true that Mbappé has received criticism, but after suffering an illness, they believe little can be demanded of him. Meanwhile, Vinicius has had a season that started well and ended poorly, far from his best level. The spotlight during the Club World Cup has been on him because of his poor performance.

Even more so considering that his contract renewal hasn't been announced yet and he continues to generate uncertainty. That's why many point out that he could be the departure Florentino is considering as possible. Although the president went down to the locker room to speak directly and calm several footballers.

Rodrygo is the other name that's been mentioned the most since during the tournament he had very few minutes. He's at the top of all the lists as a possible candidate to leave this summer (verano). With the Premier League and even Bayern watching his future to make a move for his signing
