Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr, Endrick & more likely to miss Real Madrid pre-season tour | OneFootball

A host of headline members of the first-team squad at La Liga giants Real Madrid look set to sit out the club’s upcoming pre-season tour of the USA.

As much was made clear by way of a statement on the part of the Santiago Bernabéu brass on Tuesday afternoon.

Real’s plans for an upcoming trip across the United States were announced earlier today, as Los Blancos continue in efforts to expand their reach to a more global audience.

As part of preparations for the new campaign, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops will compete in ‘The Soccer Champions Tour 2024’, a friendly tournament also featuring all of Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester City, and Chelsea.

Los Blancos have been pencilled in for a trio of fixtures, against Milan, Clásico rivals Barca, and Chelsea.

As alluded to above, however, those planning on making their way to any of Soldier Field, MetLife Stadium or the Bank of America Stadium should be aware that, in taking to the pitch, Real are likely to be sans the services of a whole host of high-profile stars.

As part of the club’s official release regarding the tour on Tuesday, Los Merengues were sure to include the fact that:

‘All available Real Madrid players will be involved in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024, apart from those playing in the semi-finals and final of the UEFA European Championship or Copa America.’

This, of course, means that players from the likes of France, Spain, Brazil, and Germany are in with a high chance of missing out on The Soccer Champions Tour.

From these four nations alone, Real Madrid boast Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, Dani Carvajal, the incoming Endrick, and more.

Not only that, but Kylian Mbappé, expected to put pen to paper on terms in Spain’s capital any day now, will lead France’s charge at the European Championships.
