Impending Crisis in Real Madrid's Dressing Room

The competition for shirt numbers in Real Madrid is starting to assert itself as the new season approaches, following the departure of Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, leaving numbers 2 and 4 vacant in the first team. This has opened the door for several players to compete for wearing them.

The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' pointed out that the selection of shirt numbers is one of the issues that renews every summer in La Liga clubs, as the league's regulations stipulate that first-team players must carry numbers between 1 and 25, making the vacant numbers a significant interest in the dressing rooms.

In Real Madrid, it is not just about one available number, but rather numbers 2 and 4, which became available after the departure of Carvajal and Alaba. This has sparked a race among several team players to obtain one of them.

The newspaper mentioned that Haussen, who played his first season with the number 24 shirt, and Raul Asensio, who holds number 17, are among the most prominent candidates interested in acquiring number 4.

The same source added that the issue of shirt numbers remains open to all possibilities, given there is enough time before the season starts, and the possibility of new players arriving or others leaving during the summer transfer window, which could lead to further changes within the team's number list.
