Real Madrid faces a roster decision as the club will review Alvaro Arbeloa's status when the La Liga season concludes, according to Marca. The former right‑back, who returned to the Bernabéu in a coaching capacity, has been on the periphery all term, prompting the hierarchy to weigh a permanent role against a possible exit.

Arbeloa's uncertain future arrives amid a busy transfer window, with Madrid already juggling marquee signings and contract renewals. The club's recent success in domestic and European competitions leaves little margin for staff turnover, yet the coaching staff aims to streamline the backroom before the next campaign. Fans and pundits alike will scrutinise any move, given his long association with the team as a player.

Should the decision result in Arbeloa’s departure, Madrid will likely promote an internal candidate or recruit fresh expertise to maintain continuity. Conversely, confirming his place could signal confidence in his tactical input as the squad prepares for another title run. Either outcome will shape the coaching structure heading into the summer.
