Beyond Marco Reus and Toni Kroos, Who Else Might Leave the Champions League Finalists?

As the European club season draws to a close, anticipation builds for the Champions League final match, where Real Madrid will clash with Borussia Dortmund. The drama is heightened by the imminent departure of two key players: Toni Kroos and Marco Reus, who have both announced their intention to leave their respective teams after the season concludes.

However, Kroos and Reus might not be the only players bidding farewell. Both teams have 11 players who could be playing their final match for their clubs in this monumental showdown at Wembley Stadium in London.

Mats Hummels: The seasoned defender’s contract with Dortmund expires in a month, and while he has yet to decide on his future, discussions about an extension are expected to take place after the Champions League final. His experience and leadership have been pivotal for Dortmund, making his potential departure significant.

Jadon Sancho: The English winger, who returned to Borussia Dortmund on loan, is now at the end of his stint. Dortmund is eager to retain him, but financial constraints may prevent them from matching the required fee. Sancho’s future remains uncertain, with the club needing to balance ambition and fiscal responsibility.

Luka Modric: A legendary figure in Madrid, the Croatian midfielder might start the next season with a different club due to his advancing age. Although Dinamo Zagreb and several MLS teams are keen on acquiring him, there is still a possibility that Modric will extend his stay at Real Madrid for one more year, given his enduring influence and form.

Nacho Fernandez: The Madrid captain has confirmed his departure at the end of the season. Inter Milan has shown interest in the versatile defender, and there are also whispers of potential moves to MLS clubs. Given his long-standing association with the club, Nacho’s exit marks the end of an era for Real Madrid.
