Two former players could be targets after the season, both being available much cheaper than other clubs would have to pay.
Fichajes has reported that the Spanish champions could bring back former youth players Nico Paz and Miguel Gutierrez.
Both players are having great seasons at their current clubs. Paz is helping Sere A side Como 1907 in their first season in the top division. Gutierrez is in his third season with La Liga side Girona, helping them to their first Champions League appearance during this season.
Los Blancos owns 50% of each player's contract, so they would only need to pay half of their transfer valuation. They are also said to have buy-back clauses, which means they have the first opportunity to bring them back to the club.
The club believes both could play key roles in the future. Los Blancos could also bring them back, see how they fit in, and decide their immediate future.
