Because of the impact of Brexit, Gareth Bale will now be designated as a non-EU player at Real Madrid, putting the Spanish giants past their quota.
Spanish clubs are limited to three non-EU players on their rosters, though this rule is frequently circumvented by players who seek citizenship in Spain or another EU country.
As things stand, Madrid now has four non-EU players, with Bale joining the Brazilian trio of Eder Militao, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo Goes.
As a result of this circumstance, Los Blancos can only have three of those four players in their roster for the next season, and one of them will have to be released.
Due to the departures of central defenders Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane this summer, Carlo Ancelotti's team will almost certainly include Eder Militao.
Rodrygo is also likely to stay with Madrid due to his modest salary and status, his versatility, and the absence of actual transfer interest from abroad.
Bale is also set to continue in Madrid next season, as Tottenham have ruled out a return for the star following his season-long loan agreement from the club last season.
Because of the impact of Brexit, British players can no longer be freely registered by European teams, and Kieran Trippier's standing at Atletico Madrid has changed as a result.
As a result of this scenario, Vinicius might be the player most likely to depart Los Blancos, according to a report in Diario AS.
After 118 first-team appearances for Real Madrid since signing from Flamengo in 2018, the Brazilian forward has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.
According to the report, Vinicius wants to stay at the club, but United is his "second best option" for the summer transfer window, leaving the door open to a move.
It has been established that United have already spent a large amount of money on transfers this summer, with the signings of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, the latter of whom came from the Spanish giants.
Any move for Vinicius will almost certainly be contingent on the departure of first-team players, with Jesse Lingard, Diogo Dalot, and Andreas Pereira among those expected to go this summer.
Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are the other two teams listed as probable destinations, however this is based on speculation rather than genuine interest.
The Parisian club's interest in the forward might be especially important in the future of Kylian Mbappe, who is generally thought to be Real Madrid's dream player.
Vinicius is an offensive dynamo, a continuous threat with his speed and directness, but he has only 15 goals and 19 assists in three seasons in Spain.
Sancho's arrival has made a move to United less likely, while players like Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellestri have given the club long-term options in wide attacking positions.
