According to a recent SPORT story, there is a significant change taking place in the Real Madrid locker room. According to the site, some players who were formerly safe under Carlo Ancelotti now face unclear futures as a result of the hiring of new manager Xabi Alonso.
Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, and Dani Ceballos are not in head coach Xabi Alonso’s long-term plans, although Real Madrid is allegedly open to offers during this summer’s transfer window.
There is presently a lot of conjecture about Rodrygo’s future because it is thought that Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal would be interested in recruiting the Brazilian, who is unhappy at the Bernabeu.
Alonso is not counting on Diaz, Ceballos, and Rodrygo for the 2025–26 season, so it is possible that they will depart the club this summer, according to Fichajes. According to the article, their inability to play during the Club World Cup was a glaring sign that Alonso does not see them as a future component of his plan for the Spanish team.
Alonso preferred alternative options in the last third of the field; therefore, Rodrygo only played 92 minutes of football during the summer competition. The 24-year-old was not utilized as a replacement against PSG in the semi-finals.
Real Madrid stars prepares unexpected transfer decision
“These are match decisions,” head coach Alonso told reporters when he explained his decision to bench Rodrygo. We needed another profile given the way the match was going. Future decisions have not been made. In this Club World Cup, we haven’t rotated all that much, and things will be different in the future.
Ceballos, on the other hand, made four appearances at the Club World Cup, although he only played 70 minutes overall, and there were several players in the starting lineup who were higher up.
It would be much harder for the 28-year-old to get consistent playing time if Alonso were to bring another midfield player to the Bernabeu before the transfer window closed.
With the Bundesliga champions reportedly interested in a possible summer trade, Bayern Munich is reportedly closely monitoring Diaz’s situation. The Morocco international made four appearances and played 103 minutes during the Club World Cup, but Alonso does not view him as a starter.
