#1 Flawed transfer policy
Florentino Perez is set to remain Real Madrid's club president until 2021, at least. Given their domestic struggles, it's clear that he will need to act fast to buy top-quality players this summer, preparing for a massive squad overhaul.
Having won consecutive Champions League titles and eight trophies in three years, it's clear to see that their success has been hard-earned but equally, the core of their squad is slowly depleting.
By the end of this current campaign, six first-team regulars will be 30-years-old or older while their aforementioned squad depth is not as good as it previously used to be. The transfer policy has been frustrating and fairly conservative for a side like Real, given their financial power. It's clear they need to strengthen in a number of areas, namely defence, to maintain their status as one of Europe's best sides.
