5 players Real Madrid should sell this season

Poor lifestyle choices could see him spend time in jail 

#1 Danilo

Didn't turn out to be the kind of player the club needed

Where did it all go wrong for young Danilo? The Portuguese right-back signed for Real Madrid from Porto for €31.5 million and was highly expected to live up to his potential given his performances for the Portuguese club in the Primeira Liga and the UEFA Champions League but he looks a shadow of who he was.

Most recently, against VFL Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League, Danilo is blamed for Real Madrid's poor performance. His failure to hold position and mark players had him take all the blame allowing the likes of Julian Draxler and Max Arnold to do that they do best.

While he seemed like a promising talent, Danilo needs a change in scenario if he's to succeed. The 24-year-old still has the best years of his career ahead of him and will best be served playing somewhere where the demands don't weigh him down so much.

Possible replacements: Hector Bellerin, Cesar Azpilicueta and Mario Fernandes.
