Real Madrid's summer plans may extend far beyond the transfer market, as a brewing internal crisis threatens to overshadow the club's offseason preparations. According to a troubling report from Guillermo Rai, relayed by Madrid Zone, tensions inside the dressing room have reached a boiling point—particularly among the Spanish contingent, who are reportedly fed up with the management style of Álvaro Arbeloa.

The situation has escalated to the point where most of Real Madrid's Spanish players "cannot stand" Arbeloa any longer. At the heart of the discontent is a perceived favoritism toward a select group of key players, who consistently receive minutes regardless of form, while others are left on the sidelines. This frustration has been simmering for some time, but recent weeks have only poured fuel on the fire.

With the season's outcome largely decided, many players had hoped for greater rotation and more opportunities to prove themselves. Instead, they feel the same "untouchable" core continues to dominate selection, leaving little room for anyone else. Two names stand out in this growing rift: Dani Carvajal and Dani Ceballos. Both have been on the receiving end of these decisions, and their discontent reflects a broader mood within the squad.

Carvajal's situation is tied to competition. The rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold has pushed him out of the starting role, and he has struggled to reclaim his spot. With his contract winding down, the path back looks increasingly difficult. Ceballos' case is even more stark. Since returning from injury in early April, the midfielder hasn't played a single minute. That lack of involvement has severely damaged his relationship with Arbeloa, and he is now expected to leave the club. Despite having a contract until 2027, Ceballos already views this as his final season in Madrid.

Sources close to the dressing room describe a clear sentiment among certain players that they are not being treated fairly. For a club built on unity and a "team above all" ethos, this internal discord could prove as challenging as any summer transfer decision.
