The 3 obvious sales for Real Madrid after the World Cup: Xabi Alonso doesn't count on them

Real Madrid can't take it anymore and these are the 3 sales in the current transfer market after the Club World Cup

Looking ahead to next season, a radical change is expected in the structure of the white club, especially after some of the performances at the Club World Cup. In a sense, it seems that there are three players on Xabi Alonso's radar to be moved directly out of the club.  One of these is clearly Rodrygo, whose mind isn't on the team, as well as Dani Ceballos and the surprise, Brahim Díaz.

According to Defensa Central, the situation of these three players has simply become impossible to sustain and their sale is a possibility. While the case of the Moroccan is a bit more complicated, the Brazilian's and the Spaniard's are a different matter.

Everything seems to be in the hands of the Spanish coach to be able to change the course of both the squad and the fate of these players. In addition, it seems that he has the support of the board, which may have to make a few more moves in the market than was desired.

Three decisive departures

The Brazilian was a complete disaster in this tournament, where he showed neither attitude nor the level needed to stay at Real Madrid. The first match of the competition was enough to convince Alonso that he didn't have what it takes to succeed with the Merengue squad.

Meanwhile, the one who was also extremely affected was Ceballos, who barely played any minutes in the World Cup, making it clear that he isn't in his plans. His move to Betis is one of the most important and, above all, viable options as of today to allow him to leave.

On the other hand, in the case of the Moroccan, things are a bit different, since maybe due to squad depth he could be left without a spot. However, this is the one whose departure is most in doubt.

There's still much to do

What is quite clear is that, looking ahead to Real Madrid's future, there are still several actions to be taken before a solution can be found. For this reason, it's now or never for those three players to leave and, with that, have the freedom to sign other players.
