Los Blancos will be forced to pay for the players' salaries, but they will make way for further signings or players from their lower categories.

Real Madrid's much needed exodus has been going on for quite some time, and this time, Zinedine Zidane and his president managed to strike loan deals for talented players that will either be frequently snubbed by the French boss or have limited playing time.

With that in mind, Los Blancos secured a couple of deals that will see Brahím Díaz and Dani Ceballos leaving the club's discipline on loan. Neither deal will include an option to see these players leave after the 2020-21 season.

Díaz will be joining AC Milan after only playing ten games for Los Blancos this season. The footballer only managed to have a hand in two goals (one goal, one assist), and due to his young age, Florentino Pérez and Zinedine Zidane urged him to take a loan spell and return as a far more influential footballer to Los Blancos' discipline. Díaz will wear the No. 21 jersey with the rossoneri.

Later today, the Spanish giants informed that Dani Ceballos will continue his loan deal at Arsenal, following a quite successful spell with the Gunners during his first year at the Emirates. Ceballos played 37 games for Arsenal, scoring two goals and handing out two assists, but his contribution to the team's playing style was far more influential than what his numbers show.

With these moves, Real Madrid's hierarchy will have time to focus on what could be two lucrative transfers: the one involving James Rodríguez, and Gareth Bale's potential exit.
