Transfer Update: Real Madrid Sell Three Players

There are three days left of the 2015 summer transfer window. This is the period of the window where clubs buy quality additions to their teams and shed the unwanted players on their books.
The summer has seen lots of huge deals like Angel Di Maria to PSG, Petr Cech to Arsennal, Arturo Vidal to Bayern Munich and Mario Mandzukic to Juventus.

Over the past two days clubs have completed deals and Naij.com brings you a round-up of those transfers.
Real Madrid have been busy over the last two days in the window. Though no player has come in, two have left. Asier Illaramendi failed to establish himself at the club in the two seasons he was there following his transfer from Real Sociedad.

The Spanish winger was brought in to be a long term replacement for Xabi Alonso but he has failed to establish himself in the Capital club and he returns to his former club a flop. llarramendi moved to Madrid in a €32 million.

Another player to leave Madrid is back-up left back, Fabio Contrao who is another player who failed to live up to the hype and the price tag. The Portugese leaves Madrid for AS Monaco in a season long loan.

The 27-year-old will become the club’s first choice left-back, with Layvin Kurzawa set to depart for champions Paris Saint-Germain. Meanwhile, Lucas Digne has left PSG to join AS Roma on a season long loan.
