Xabi Alonso 'takes out' the first 3 players of Real Madrid

Xabi Alonso has not signed as Real Madrid's coach yet, but in the noble floors of the Santiago Bernabéu, they are already working under his guidelines for the upcoming season. The Basque coach has started making important decisions regarding the squad and has already pointed out his first three discards, thus initiating a profound renewal that promises to change many things at Valdebebas.

Fran García:

The first on the list is Fran García, who has failed to convince since his return from Rayo Vallecano. His season has been full of ups and downs, and far from consolidating himself as a reliable alternative in the left-back position, he has raised more doubts than certainties.

Ferland Mendy:

Ferland Mendy will also not continue, as his contract expires in June 2025. The Frenchman is not willing to renew at a lower salary, and the white club does not want to commit to a new high contract. Given this stance, his departure is inevitable.

Jesús Vallejo:

The third player that Xabi Alonso has already labeled as transferable is Jesús Vallejo. The central defender from Zaragoza has not been in the plans of any coach in recent years, and his continuity no longer makes sense. The club believes it is time to definitively close his chapter.

More Departures to Come

However, the departures will not stop there. There are more names under observation, such as Rodrygo, Lucas Vázquez, Luka Modric, and Dani Ceballos. Xabi Alonso has expressly requested to assess them live during the pre-season before making a final decision. The goal is not to rush with players who could still offer interesting contributions if they adapt to his style of play.
