Ramón de Mon announces Xabi's reason for not closing the market with 3 days left

Xabi doesn't consider the transfer market completely closed and raises some doubts

Teams are rushing their options in the market to secure a signing before the window closes. However, at Real Madrid, it seemed that they were living these last days calmly. This was especially true because they have considered the squad closed for several weeks now.

Or at least that was how it seemed, since Xabi Alonso has surprised everyone by leaving the door open. In the press conference before Real Madrid – Mallorca, he was asked about it. They wanted to know if the squad was closed or if, on the contrary, there could be surprises.

"It's likely, but I don't want to get my fingers caught, always alert," Xabi Alonso said about it. Although he says that "it looks like" it's closed, he didn't want to be definitive. Meanwhile, Ramón de Mon has given the reason why the man from Tolosa hasn't closed it for good.

It was in a message posted on his Twitter profile where the analyst pointed out what is happening. He indicated that  the decision to consider the squad closed could change with "just one surprising sale". Otherwise, they're not going to rush to sign anyone else in the final stretch despite what is being said.

Possible departures Real Madrid could have these days

It's true that there have been many rumors about Real Madrid players in recent days. But there are few likely departures that the club currently sees from within. At least that's what sources close to Defensa Central have confirmed to us.

Camavinga has an offer from Newcastle, but they don't think he's going to leave this summer. Rodrygo was another main subject of many rumors, but the same is true for him. He hasn't expressed his intention to leave, and that was an essential condition for the club.

The ones with the most options are Fran García and Ceballos, especially the latter, although everything has gone wrong. The player from Utrera had said goodbye to Madridists on social media with a message. However, after reaching an agreement with Olympique de Marseille, everything has fallen apart.
