Isco

From the moment Isco emerged as a promising young Spanish talent at Malaga, he was pursued by Real or Barcelona. The skillful midfielder won the Golden Boy award in 2012 and moved to Madrid in 2013 for 30 million euros, getting off to the perfect start with a goal and an assist against Real Betis on his debut.

However, Isco was not trusted in subsequent seasons. Having gone through a bleak period with Sevilla, the now 31-year-old Isco is enjoying a resurgence in his career with Real Betis.

Dani Carvajal

Dani Carvajal had to leave Real Madrid for Bayer Leverkusen in 2012 in search of first team football. He only lasted one year in Germany and was bought by Ancelotti in 2013 for just 5 million euros.

Since then, the Spanish full-back has made more than 400 appearances for the club and helped win five Champions League titles. Ancelotti still uses him at the age of 32.

Casemiro

Real signed Casemiro from Sao Paulo in January 2013 and immediately sent him to their Castilla team.

Three La Liga, three Club World Cups, five Champions League turned Casemiro into a Real legend. He then joined Manchester United for a whopping €70 million in 2022.

Gareth Bale

One of the most famous football deals of all time. Along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in attack, the Los Blancos trio is every defender's nightmare.

The Welsh player officially left Real before joining LAFC in 2022. He retired after one MLS season in 2023, winning the MLS Cup.

Toni Kroos

Another big boost for Ancelotti. Kroos's contract in 2014 was so important to the club that he still started for the team this season. At the age of 34, Kroos is about to agree to a new contract to stay at Real for another season.

James Rodriguez

A stellar season at Monaco, a breakthrough World Cup performance, signing for Real for £63m, all had the writing on the wall for Rodriguez to become a Galactico star in the summer of 2014. Under the guidance Ancelotti's first season, he contributed 17 goals and assisted 18 goals in all competitions. Things went downhill after the departure of the Italian coach in 2015.

The Colombian player won many victories in Madrid, but was always on the outside. He spent time on loan with Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, before joining Everton on a permanent deal.

Now 32, Rodriguez is playing for Brazilian side Sao Paulo after spells in Qatar and Greece.

Keylor Navas

Constantly fluctuating between the No. 1 and No. 2 options in goal, Keylor Navas is both an excellent No. 2 and a perfect rotation goalkeeper for major cup tournaments, especially shining in the Champions League, where he became the best. become the first choice.

Navas joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2019, but spent time on loan with Nottingham Forest in 2023 and almost joined Al-Nassr this season. However, Navas did not leave and continued to play the role of backup for Gianluigi Donnarumma.
