Xabi Alonso has taken over Real Madrid from Carlo Ancelotti.
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez’s plan was to sell Rodrygo Goes, but when Alonso arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu a few days ago, that changed. The Spanish manager wanted Rodrygo Goes’ experience, and his goals. When he actually gets in, he delivers.

Still, some have to be sold.
Real Madrid are working on carrying out key sales to ease wage costs and strengthen the team for the coming season.
Real Madrid are implementing significant changes to their squad for next season. The club wants to sell two players to create space and improve the team.
The two identified players
One of them is David Alaba. The Austrian defender came with high expectations, but has not delivered as expected. Injuries have set him back, and he has not been able to show his true level. In addition, his salary is very high, around 22,5 million euros per season, which makes it difficult for the club to make other major purchases. Therefore, Real Madrid want to sell him as soon as possible. Several offers have come in, with the most concrete coming from Charlotte FC of the American league, which is willing to pay approximately 8 million euros for Alaba.
The other player who could leave the club is Fran García. The left-back has not met the club’s expectations, so Madrid are open to letting him go. AFC Bournemouth already showed interest in him in the winter transfer window, and now there is talk of an offer between €15 million and €20 million – an amount the club will be willing to accept.
These sales will help Real Madrid reduce wage costs and raise funds to bring in new players who can bring quality and strength to the team.
