Xabi Alonso is shaking up Real Madrid’s dressing room with three unexpected departures after his arrival as manager.

Three key players do not seem to fit into his plans, and their departure from the club could be imminent.

These are the three players Xabi Alonso doesn’t want in his new Real Madrid
As revealed, Fran García, David Alaba and Aurélien Tchouaméni are among the coach’s first opt-outs. The news has surprised many, as they are experienced players with a history in the team. But Xabi Alonso has a clear idea of the style of play he wants, and it seems that they don’t quite fit into his vision.
Fran García, who returned to the club as a future solution at left-back, has not fully convinced. Alaba, one of the team’s most important defenders in recent years, has had injury issues that may have influenced his decision. As for Tchouaméni, his varying form throughout the season may have been decisive for a possible exit.
The coach wants to build a team tailored to his needs and is not willing to wait too long. These departures will not only free up space in the squad, but also in the budget – which is crucial to strengthen other areas with new signings.
Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, several clubs have already shown interest in these players, so it is very likely that they will find a new destination soon. Xabi Alonso has at least started his time at Real Madrid with clear decisions.
