TA: Real Madrid wants to stay in the team; Alonso is dissatisfied with Rodrigo, but he can t find another home

Hupu August 5th News TheAthleticUK ace reporter David Ornstein led the weekly report.

Is Xavi Alonso's lineup suitable for his game style?

Alonso said at a press conference held in the United States after losing to Paris Saint-Germain 0-4 in the Club World Cup semi-finals that the team still has the possibility of further improving the lineup, but the signed contract that has been completed is consistent with his plan.

After the Basque coach arrived in Madrid, he actively promoted the signing of Alvaro Carreras, Dean Wyson and Mastantuno, and called them personally to persuade them to join.

TA Real Madrid team Mario learned from sources close to the coaching staff that Alonso believes the team still has room for improvement. Alonso and his team hope to sign two players, one of which could be to replace Rodrigo after he left, a source said.

Club believes that the formation of this team is centered on Alonso.

What are their positions/players?

Although Real Madrid has been closely following the transfer market and evaluating players, it is not clear whether they have identified specific candidates for the rest of the transfer window.

Sources who recently contacted the club told TheAthletic that they have been looking at midfielders, but there is no one that is convincing yet.

In contrast, club sources insist that the team no longer accepts any new players and Alonso must adapt to the existing roster.

Which players may leave?

Although both the club and Alonso are open to Rodrigo's departure, no progress has been made in his transfer yet. According to sources close to the player, the Brazilian player has expressed his desire to stay.

Mario Cortegana learned from sources close to the coaching staff that Alonso and his team were not completely satisfied with Rodrigo. The player is in talks with middleman Pini Zahavi this summer, which may indicate that he is not very clear about his position at the club.

Endrik and Gonzalo Garcia both long to stay. According to a source close to Gonzalo, the striker's agent, Oscar Ribot, is working to renew his contract and improve his contract as he performed well in the Club World Cup. The

club has not announced who will wear the No. 9 jersey, which is very telling. Club sources said no decision has been made yet.

French left-back Ferran Mendy intends to stay at Real Madrid to compete with Carreras and Fran Garcia, but his team is surprised that the club has not announced a renewal (the Athletic reported at the time that the renewal was completed last year).
