Real Madrid continues their 2026/27 preseason preparations today with a friendly against Italian Serie A club Fiorentina. This encounter marks the third preseason match for José Mourinho’s squad and is set to take place in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Prior to this fixture, Real Madrid secured victories over Alcorcón (1-0) and Leganés (4-1) in matches held mostly behind closed doors at their Valdebebas training ground. However, the game against Fiorentina will be the first of their preseason friendlies to be broadcast live and in full, offering fans a complete view of the squad’s progress.
While several first-team players are expected to feature prominently, the lineup will also showcase numerous academy prospects, continuing the club’s tradition of integrating young talent. Notably, some key players who participated in the recent World Cup, such as Brahim Díaz, Vinícius Júnior, and Bernardo Silva, remain unavailable but are anticipated to rejoin the team next week.
Additionally, Dean Huijsen will miss the match due to a minor physical issue. Meanwhile, Franco Mastantuono is reportedly on the verge of departing from the club. A major point of interest for supporters will be the debut of young striker Carlos Espí, a $27 million signing from Levante, who is expected to make a strong impression during the friendly.
