Real Madrid concluded their 2023-24 campaign by winning the Champions League final, which capped another excellent season for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Los Blancos beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium to make it a La Liga and European Cup double last term, and the club will now be targeting more success during the current season.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the Real Madrid players whose contracts either expire next season or in the summer of 2026.
