Xabi Alonso gives Florentino a list of signings, they will come with one condition

The coach wants to have a top-level squad to compete for all the titles and has players on his list

Xabi Alonso has already made a move. Real Madrid's coach  has given Florentino Pérez a list of possible signings. However, all of them will arrive with a clear condition: progress will only be made if departures happen first.

Sports planning is on hold. In Valdebebas, they know that the first-team squad is almost full, and before adding new players, they need to make room, literally.

Madrid awaits moves regarding departures

The club has 23 first-team players registered. To that, the imminent arrival of Franco Mastantuono, who will turn 18 in August, must be added. Gonzalo García's future is also hanging in the air, as he could stay after his great Club World Cup.

Endrick will also be available starting in September. Therefore, there is an overload in the attack, and one of those singled out is Rodrygo Goes.

The Brazilian remains on the exit ramp. According to The Athletic, Madrid won't oppose if a fair offer arrives. Liverpool is keeping an eye on the situation, but hasn't made a move yet, Arsenal and City are also monitoring him.

PSG has denied its interest. Tottenham and Bayern are ruled out. The player's camp is waiting for a clear proposal from the Premier League.

Xabi wants reinforcements… if there's room

Xabi Alonso has already given the green light to several profiles in case a sale is finalized. The club has reports prepared on footballers in different positions. However, for now, there are no specific names.

No major departures are expected in midfield. Ceballos, despite rumors, remains firm. He won't leave for less than 15 million, and his salary is unaffordable for most Spanish clubs.

In defense, everything points to a revolution. Alaba and Mendy are on the transfer list, but neither has shown signs of wanting to leave. The Frenchman isn't afraid to compete with Álvaro Carreras or Fran García; he trusts he can earn his place.

Meanwhile, Reinier Jesús keeps training with Castilla. His agent is looking for a move before the market closes. Brazil, and especially Atlético Mineiro, appear to be his most likely destination.
