The board of Real Madrid has set the goal of signing more Spanish players, three already on the club's radar

For the second international break in a row, Real Madrid have no players in Luis de la Fuente's Spanish squad. Dani Carvajal was the only regular inclusion for La Roja, but after his knee injury at the end of the season, it left the Los Blancos without a regular Spain international in their first team.

Following the summer departures of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Nacho Fernandez and Joselu Mato, as well as youngster Rafa Marin, Real Madrid now have just four core members of their Spanish first team: Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, Fran Garcia and Jesus Vallejo. For the club's hierarchy, this is unacceptable.

As a result, Relief say that Real Madrid aims to sign more Spanish players in the coming years, as it aims to re-establish a national identity. As things stand, there are three current La Roja stars on their radar: Pedro Porro, Aymeric Laporte and Rodri Hernandez. However, it is far from guaranteed that they will sign any of those three.

It remains to be seen who Real Madrid target in the coming years, but it has become clear that they will have a strong core of Spanish players in their team.
