The summer of 2017 is set to put Real Madrid through a number of high profile challenges as Zinedine Zidane comes up against Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, and Barcelona.
A pre-season tour of North America will once again be on the agenda for Los Blancos, including an eight-day sojourn to California where Manchester United await in San Francisco on July 23.
That friendly will pit Mourinho against his old employers, with Florentino Perez, Luka Modric, and Raphael Varane still on positive terms with the coach although the same cannot be said for Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Furthermore, the presence of David De Gea, on United's books for now, will add a little extra needle to an otherwise friendly International Champions Cup fixture.
Manchester City are up next on July 26 in Los Angeles, lining Pep Guardiola's side up against Real for a Clasico reunion of sorts.
The main event will then take place in Miami three days later, pitching Barcelona against their Madrid rivals for the culmination of a three-day event that organisers are hoping to turn into a summer Superbowl.
To round off the pre-season duties, Real are expected to confirm an exhibition match against Liverpool as well as an MLS All-Star game on August 2, in Chicago.
