Real Madrid Confidencial Ramón von Hannover reveals Xabi Alonso's blacklist, summer of sales at Real Madrid
The journalist claims that the coach drew conclusions after the match against PSG and will request signings and sales
Xabi Alonso already has a plan for Real Madrid. After the poor match against PSG, the Basque coach is certain that he needs changes. Ramón Álvarez de Mon has revealed that a busy summer is coming for the club, with several departures.
"The time has come to make decisions," the journalist explained on his YouTube channel. The current squad doesn't fully convince the new coach. He's already preparing a blacklist with names that aren't in his plans.
Key meeting with Florentino
Xabi Alonso will have a meeting with Florentino Pérez in the coming days. In that meeting, the coach will present which players he considers expendable. He'll also talk about the positions he wants to strengthen.
During the tour in the United States, many things were already discussed. Florentino, Juni Calafat, and José Ángel Sánchez took the opportunity to move topics forward, but the final decisions, according to Ramón de Mon, have been reserved for this week.
"Days are coming when we're going to hear many names. Of arrivals and departures," he pointed out. Not all of them will be real; some rumors will be smoke, but others will have substance.
Departures, signings, and changes
Xabi Alonso won't just ask for reinforcements; he'll also make it clear who he doesn't count on: "He'll have to give a list of players who aren't untouchable and who he doesn't need in his project," Ramón de Mon explained.
The coach believes that there's room for improvement and wants a more balanced and committed squad. The image shown against PSG has set off alarms. He doesn't want it to happen again.
The coming days will be key. The market remains open and movements are expected at Real Madrid. There won't be blockbuster signings, but there will be important adjustments.
The locker room knows it. Some players are in doubt and others, directly, are on the way out. Xabi Alonso wants a competitive group. He won't hesitate.
The summer will be long and at Bernabéu, intense. The new coach is starting to take control and his blacklist will set the path for the new project.
