The 2 signings Real Madrid has ruled out, Xabi Alonso already knows it

The white team could make a €100 million sale and could open other doors

Real Madrid's signing criteria are among the most demanding and, for good reason, among the most difficult to fulfill. That's why those additions that end up being made for Los Blancos determine a player's level. In this case, the board has ruled out 2 young players, Nico Paz and Angello Stiller, for the team.

Although both players, mainly the Argentine, have shown great things, they don't seem to fit into the club's short-term plans. The Bundesliga footballer is considered by many to be an ideal element for the club, but he's still a bit "green" (unripe) to make the leap to the best team in the world.

Meanwhile, for the homegrown Madridist, things are different, since they want to keep betting on his growth in Serie A for this season. In addition, it seems that the club's idea will be to keep testing the market, even for the midfield.

Neither of the two will arrive

Stiller's performance with Stuttgart hasn't gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of other clubs, but without any crazy moves in between. This tells you a bit about what the player is and that, although he has a high ceiling, he's still not at the level of the greats.

Meanwhile, Nico has shown this season, under Fàbregas and Como, that he has the qualities to be a world-class player. However, as is somewhat the case with the German player, they still have an important path ahead in terms of experience and quality.

Real Madrid hasn't been a stranger to signing young players like Bellingham, Endrick, or even Vinícius himself at the time. However, these are already flagship players or at least are on track to be among the best in their positions. That's a detail that, perhaps at this moment, is still premature to affirm with these two players.

Maybe in the future

What is clear is that these players could end up joining Real Madrid over time and with the experience they're still missing. However, at least for now, Los Blancos will keep a close eye on them and will be alert to their development.
